A lone bettor won the P80-million jackpot prize of Grand Lotto 6/55 during a draw on Wednesday night, becoming the first millionaire of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) for this year.
Â
According to the PCSO, the lucky bettor purchased the winning ticket from an outlet in San Pablo City, Laguna.
Â
During Wednesday night’s draw, Grand Lotto 6/55 had a total prize of P80,721,908 with a winning combination of 25 – 54 – 04 – 22 – 55 – 24.
Â
To claim the prize, the lucky bettor will have to go to the PCSO’s main office along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City.
Â
The bettor have to present two valid IDs, and he/she must also bring his/her winning ticket.
Â
The cash prize however will be subjected to a 20 percent tax as mandated by the TRAIN Law, therefore deducting around P16 million from the total winning prize.
Â
This leaves the winning bettor with only around P64 million. (Jhon Casinas)
