Three bettors from the provinces of Laguna, Bulacan and Metro Manila are now instant millionaires as they would split the P108 million jackpot of Tuesday night's Lotto 6/42 draw.
In an advisory Wednesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said the winning combination 04-22-07-10-29-14 carried a total jackpot prize of P108,072,834.
The three tickets were purchased at JP Rizal Street, Pila, Laguna; Pineda Street, San Miguel, Bulacan; and Yanco Street, Tondo, Manila.
Winners have one year from the date of the draw to claim the prize, as specified in Republic Act 1169, the law on PCSO lotteries.
All jackpot prizes must be claimed at the PCSO main office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City. Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 are subject to 20 percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
Meanwhile, 173 other bettors won P24,000 each for guessing five out of the six winning numbers; 5,784 bettors will get P800 each for four correct digits; and 69,003 will settle for P20 each for three correct digits.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
PCSO general manager Melquiades Robles urged the public to support the agency's gaming products to raise additional revenue for health initiatives, medical services and other national charities.
