P277-M lotto jackpot still unclaimed

MANILA, Philippines - A bettor from Bukidnon, who won the jackpot of the 6/58 Ultra Lotto draw on Oct. 30, has yet to claim his prize, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced yesterday.

 Jose Ferdinand Rojas II, PCSO general manager, said the bettor bought the winning ticket at a lotto outlet in Malaybalay City.

The bettor hit the winning combination 22-09-24-16-52-42, which has the jackpot of P277.9 million – the biggest 6/58 Ultra Lotto jackpot in 2015.

A government employee from Samar won the P50-million minimum Ultra Lotto jackpot last March.

Rojas said lotto winners have one year to claim their prize, or it would be forfeited in favor of the charity fund of the PCSO.

The 6/58 Ultra Lotto game is the biggest online lotto game launched by PCSO early this year. It is drawn every Friday and Sunday.
