Ultra Lotto pot to hit P262 M

MANILA, Philippines - The jackpot of the 6/58 Ultra Lotto is expected to reach P262 million by Friday’s draw after no one won in Sunday’s draw, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.

While no one guessed the winning combination, 54-19-15-03-20-50, in Sunday’s draw, which had a jackpot of P256 million, at least 11 bettors won P126,620 each after they guessed five digits of the six-digit combination.

The 6/58 Ultra Lotto is the PCSO’s biggest online lotto game, drawn every Friday and Sunday. It was launched early this year with a minimum jackpot of P50 million.

The jackpot began building up after a government employee won P50 million last March.
