An early Christmas gift.
A lone bettor won the P7,902,953 jackpot in the Lotto 6/42 draw last Tuesday.
The winner purchased the winning ticket in a lotto outlet in Valencia, Ormoc City, Leyte.
Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office General Manager Alexander Balutan said the winner got the winning combination 40-17-20-18-24-15.
Balutan reminded the winner and other winners of lotto draws that they have a year to claim their prizes. Unclaimed prizes will be forfeited and placed in the PCSO charity fund.
He urged the public to continue patronizing lotto and other PCSO games, saying that a big portion of the agency’s earnings go to charity.
