Mandaluyong City – A lucky bettor from Cubao, Quezon City, won the Super Lotto 6/49 drawn on June 15, 2023, which carried a jackpot prize of P15,840,000.00.
The 35-year-old winner has diligently played PCSO Lotto games for over 11 years. Her winning ticket, with combination 19-03-45-22-42-32, was revealed to be a Lucky Pick (LP) or a system-generated selection.
Expressing her overwhelming joy, she stated, “Sobrang saya ko po habang nakikita ko na isa-isang binabanggit ng host sa live draw yung mga kumbinasyon na nasa ticket ko. Napakaswerte ko po dahil naranasan ko itong pangyayaring nababasa at nababalitaan ko lang noon. Maraming salamat po, PCSO.”
The winner shared that she plans to allocate a portion of her winnings to different investments, including insurance and expansion of her business.
She also called on the public to continue patronizing PCSO games and services, which fund the government’s various charitable programs for indigent Filipinos. “Sa public po, patuloy sana nating suportahan ang mga adhikain nila na makatulong sa kapwa sa pamamagitan ng pagtangkilik natin sa lotto at iba pa nilang palaro,” she said.
The winner visited the PCSO Main Office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong, on June 20, 2023, to claim her prize. To avoid forfeiture of winnings, winners have one (1) year from the date of the draw to claim their prize. Otherwise, it shall be forfeited to form part of the Charity Fund in accordance with Republic Act No. 1169. The PCSO further reminds the public that all lotto jackpot prizes must be claimed at the PCSO Main Office, Shaw Boulevard, in Mandaluyong City.
To claim prizes, winners must write their names and sign at the back of the winning ticket and present two (2) government-issued IDs. The public is also reminded that prizes over Php 10,000.00 are subject to a 20% final tax pursuant to the TRAIN LAW.
