MANILA, Philippines — A bettor from Manila won the P107.8-million jackpot in the 6/42 Regular Lotto on Tuesday night, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.

Melquiades Robles, PCSO general manager and vice chairman of the board, said the winner bought a lotto ticket at the SM City San Lazaro.

The bettor guessed the six-digit winning combination 22-24-10-34-02-35, which carried a total prize of P107,852,598.

Fifty-six other bettors will receive P24,000 each after guessing five digits of the winning combination.
