MANILA, Philippines — A lone bettor in Quezon City won the P310.6-million jackpot of the Super Lotto 6/49 in Tuesday night’s lotto draw.

There were also 116 second prize winners who will each get P50,000 for guessing all but one of the six-digit winning combination.
The PCSO set the minimum jackpot of all its lotto games – Regular Lotto 6/42, the Mega Lotto 6/45, the Ultra Lotto 6/58, the Grand Lotto 6/55 and the Super Lotto 6/49 – to P89 million last Oct. 30 to mark its 89th year.
