Lone bettor wins P72.5M Grand Lotto jackpot


Amid the gloom over the deaths caused by Typhoon Pedring (Nesat), a lone bettor has reason to rejoice for winning P72.537 million in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's Grand Lotto draw Wednesday night. The PCSO, as in the past, is not expected to reveal the identity of the winner for security reasons. But the PCSO said the winner is now P72,537,879.60 richer, after getting the winning combination 27-12-07-28-08-21 in the draw. Last August 24, a lone winner from Luzon became more than P142 million richer after hitting the Grand Lotto jackpot of the PCSO. At the time, the PCSO said the winner got the combination of 09-01-06-40-16-35 to bag the P142,859,048.40 jackpot being offered. On July 26, a lone winner got the P106.844-million jackpot in the Superlotto 6/49 draw. In the July 26 draw, the winner got the winning combination of 39-42-38-07-10-12 to win the P106,844,122.80 jackpot. Last June 29, a lone winner got the winning combination of 03-18-30-40-06-29 to win the P65,188,047.60 pot. But the biggest prize in recent Philippine lotto history was still in November 2010, when a lucky lone bettor from Luzon won some P741.176 million for getting the winning combination: 11-16-42-47-31-37. — LBG, GMA News
