Iloilo City bettor wins P49.5-M lotto jackpot

A bettor from Iloilo City won the P49.5 million jackpot prize in the 6/58 Ultra Lotto draw on Friday night, Jan. 20.

In an advisory, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the lucky bettor hit the six-digit winning combination 24-39-31-19-42-13.

Twelve other bettors guessed five of the winning numbers and won P120,000 each.

The winners, whose names were withheld for security reasons, have one year from the date of the draw to claim the prize at the PCSO main office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City.

They must write their names and sign at the back of the winning ticket, and present two government-issued IDs.

Lotto winnings of more than P10,000 are subject to 20-percent tax under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.IMT
