MANILA, Philippines — Two bettors will split the P1.18-billion jackpot of the Ultra Lotto 6/58 game last night – the largest prize recorded by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
The winning combination was 40 50 37 25 01 45.
No one has won the Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot since February, when two bettors shared a jackpot of P331.9 million.
The previous highest lotto jackpot was P741.2 million in the Grand Lotto 6/55, which was won by a balikbayan from New York in 2010.
The Filipino-American, who was then on vacation in the Philippines, bought his ticket from a duty-free outlet in Olongapo City, Zambales on Nov. 29, 2010.
