Ultra Lotto pot to hit P279 M

MANILA, Philippines - The jackpot of the 6/58 Ultra Lotto is expected to reach P279 million by Friday’s draw after no one guessed the winning combination last Sunday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced yesterday.

While no one hit the winning combination, 49-04-46-34-19-56, for last Sunday’s draw, at least nine players won P179,400 each for guessing five of the six-digit combination, PCSO general manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II said. The jackpot for Sunday’s draw was P270 million.

The 6/58 Ultra Lotto is the biggest lotto online game launched by the PCSO earlier this year. The new game has a minimum jackpot of P50 million per draw.  

A government worker from the Visayas won P50 million last March and is the game’s first and – so far – only winner.

The 6/58 Ultra Lotto is drawn every Friday and Sunday.
