Super Lotto pot to hit P157 million

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is estimating the Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot to reach P157 million by tonight’s draw.

Melquiades Robles, PCSO general manager and vice chairman of the board, said there was again no jackpot winner during Tuesday night’s draw, which had the winning combination 34-46-43-28-29-35 and carried a jackpot of P148,846,017.20.

There were 18 second prize winners who can each claim the prize of P50,000 for guessing five of the six-digit winning combination.

The Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot was last won by a bettor who bought the winning ticket from a lotto outlet in Balanga, Bataan on May 7, hitting the jackpot of over P51.9 million.

The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law imposes a 20-percent tax on all lotto winnings above P10,000.
