Mandaluyong City. On July 12, 2022, a 72 year old widow from Tanay, Rizal claimed the Php17,419,093.40 jackpot prize for the Lotto 6/42 drawn last July 7, 2022 with a winning combination of 09 – 10 – 42 – 08 – 13 – 41 at the PCSO Main Office, Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City.
The new millionaire shared that her numbers were a combination of birthdays and ages from family members. Living with her grandchildren, the jackpot winner said that for the last 20 years she devotedly invested in lotto games and was only halted due to pandemic. She then resumed playing last July 6, 2022 and on July 07, 2022 she hit the biggest break of her life. “Wala akong trabaho o di kaya ay pensyon man lang. Umaasa na lang ako sa aking mga anak. Tumanda na ako sa paglalaro ng lotto at di ko lubos akalain sa ganitong edad ko mapapanalunan ang jackpot. Bilin ko lang sa mga kapwa ko na tumatangkilik ng lotto ay wag sila mawalan ng pag asa, sa gabay ng Diyos at sa tamang pagkakataon di natin masasabi baka makamtan nyo rin ang inyong inaasam” the winner added. She was still overwhelmed by emotions at the moment and has to plan where she will use her prize money.
The other winner of the Lotto 6/42 lotto drawn last July 07, 2022 from San Jose, Occidental Mindoro is yet to claim the other half of the jackpot prize of Php34,838,186.80.
For consolation prizes, 88 players who got 5 correct numbers will go home with Php24,000.00 each while 3,286 players with 4 correct numbers will bag Php800.00 each and 48,934 players with 3 correct numbers will receive Php30.00 each.
PCSO Chairperson and Ad Interim General Manager Anselmo Simeon P. Pinili encourages the public to continue supporting PCSO’s projects and programs through patronizing the lotto and other PCSO games. “Kami po ay nagpapasalamat sa ating mga kababayang walang sawa ang pagtangkilik sa mga palaro ng PCSO nang dahil sa inyo parami nang parami ang natutulungan ng aming Ahensya. Tatlumpong porsyento ng perang inilaan ninyo sa pagtangkilik ng palaro ng PCSO ay napupunta sa kawanggawa” Chairperson and Ad Interim Pinili said.
