'Lucky' 11-11-11 nets Megalotto bettor P30.869-M jackpot


November 11 this year proved to be lucky after all for a lone bettor, who won the P30.869-million jackpot in Friday night's Megalotto 6/45 draw. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the bettor got the winning combination of 03-40-18-27-10-21 to bag the prize worth P30,869,200.80. As in the past, however, the PCSO is not expected to divulge the winner's identity for security reasons. Last October, three winners shared a P94.987-million prize after hitting the Superlotto 6/49 jackpot. On Sept. 28, a lone winner became P72.538 million richer after winning the Grand Lotto draw. In August, a lone winner from Luzon became more than P142 million richer after hitting the Grand Lotto prize. A lone winner got the P106.844-million jackpot in the Superlotto 6/49 draw last July 26. Last June 29, also 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 lotto prize in recent history was still in November 2010, when a lone bettor won some P741.176 million for getting the winning combination: 11-16-42-47-31-37. — LBG, GMA News
