No winner of P151-million lotto pot

MANILA, Philippines – The jackpot prize of the 6/49 Super Lotto online lottery of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) continues to rise and is expected to hit P165 million during tonight’s draw.

Conrado Zabella, PCSO assistant general manager for online operations, said nobody got the winning combination 41-13-40-48-12-25 in the draw last Sunday, which had a jackpot of P151 million.

He said they are expecting increased sales for the Super Lotto draw tonight as thousands of bettors line up at lotto terminals nationwide for a chance to win the big jackpot.

“The estimated jackpot for Tuesday’s draw is P165 million or even more,” Zabella said.

He said 33 lucky bettors got five digits of the winning combination last Sunday and each won the P56,000 consolation prize.

Zabella said 2,829 won P1,000 each for picking four digits of the winning combination.

The Super Lotto, which is played every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, has become the most popular game and attracts a big number of players.

Aside from the Super Lotto, the prize of the 6/45 Mega Lotto draw also soared to P36 million during last night’s draw.

The Power Lotto, which is drawn every Saturday, has a current jackpot of P58.6 million and the prize is expected to increase as the draw date nears.
