A single bettor from Metro Manila became an instant millionaire after winning the P34.5-million Lotto 6/42 jackpot Thursday night.

The winning combination of 13-41-06-25-34-42 carried a total jackpot prize of P34,562,804.20, according to a Friday advisory from the Philippinea Charity Sweepstakes Office.

Meanwhile, 136 others received P24,000 apiece for correctly predicting five of the six winning figures; 1,985 bettors would receive P800 each for four accurate digits; and 27,139 will receive P20 each for three perfect digits.

The winning ticket and two identification cards must be presented to the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City by the lone bettor from Sampaloc, Manila.

Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings of more than P10,000 will be subject to a 20 percent tax. Prizes not claimed within a year are forfeited.

PCSO encourages the public to play their games as a substantial portion of the proceeds go to charity projects.
