Two 6/42 Lotto bettors to split P84.1M jackpot

Two lucky winners will share P84.1 million after hitting the jackpot in the Lotto 6/42 draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Tuesday night. According to the PCSO, the two got the winning combination of 24-12-23-05-35-32 to bag the prize of P84,100,212. But as in the past, the PCSO is not expected to divulge the winner's identity for security reasons. The two winners are expected to each get about P42 million from the win. The latest win came less than a week after a lone bettor became P30.869 million richer after winning the Megalotto 6/45 draw last November 11. 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 jackpot of the PCSO. A lone winner got the P106.844-million jackpot in the Superlotto 6/49 draw last July 26. 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. 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. — ELR, GMA News
