Manila: Two bettors from Tarlac and Zamboanga del Sur will split the PHP284-million jackpot of Sunday night's Ultralotto 6/58 draw. In a statement on Monday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the two correctly guessed the winning numbers 39-37-04-11-02-09.
According to Philippines News Agency, the PCSO stated that the winning tickets were bought in Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur, and in Barangay Poblacion Norte, Tarlac City. The winners have one year to claim the PHP284,636,402.80 prize at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City. Prizes not claimed within a year will be forfeited.
Lotto winnings of more than PHP10,000 are subject to a 20-percent tax. Meanwhile, 19 other bettors won PHP120,000 each for hitting five out of the six winning digits; 1,571 will get PHP2,000 each for four correct digits; and 33,588 will settle for PHP100 each for three correct digits.
The Ultra Lotto 6/58 is drawn every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. The PCSO urged the public to patronize its games as a large portion of the revenues goes to the government's charity programs.
