Lotto pot seen to hit P84 million

MANILA, Philippines — The Mega Lotto 6/45 jackpot is estimated to reach P84 million by tonight’s draw after no one won the jackpot for more than two months, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.

Royina Garma, PCSO general manager, said there was again no winner in the last Mega Lotto 6/45 draw held on Wednesday night, which had a winning combination of 12-43-29-10-22-24 and carried a jackpot of P81,878,622.

However, 34 bettors guessed all but one of the six-digit winning combination and won a second prize of P32,000 each.

The Mega Lotto 6/45 was last won in September by a bettor in Marikina City who won the P24-million jackpot.

The 6/45 Mega Lotto is drawn every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
