MANILA, Philippines - At least three winners from Manila, Cainta and Bulacan became instant millionaires after the three successive draws of the 6/45 Mega Lotto, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.
PCSO general manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II said the winning streak of the 6/45 lotto draw began Monday night when a player from Cainta, Rizal won the P23,585,160.60 jackpot of the Mega Lotto draw.
The winning combination was 12-41-18-19-32-34. The 6/45 mega lotto game is drawn every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
On Wednesday, another winner from Manila hit the winning combination of 29-23-44-36-40-28 with P4.5 million in jackpot prize.
Last Friday, a player from Bulacan hit the winning combination of 18-26-08-31-01-16 that also carried the minimum jackpot of P4.5 million.
“The 6/45 game yielded an instant millionaire in three successive games,” Rojas said.
With the new winners, the members of the so-called lotto millionaires club increased to 25 this year.
Rojas said an 80-year-old retiree in Cebu has claimed P27,587,136.00 jackpot of the 6/45 draw last month.
