Lotto bettor P265.3 million richer

MANILA, Philippines — A bettor from Manila won the P265.3-million Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot that accumulated for almost a year due to the suspension of lotto draws during the enhanced community quarantine, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced yesterday.

Royina Garma, PCSO general manager, said the winner guessed the winning combination 06-12-18-20-32-41 on Sunday night.

Garma said 53 bettors would receive a consolation prize of P50,000 each after guessing five digits of the winning combination.

Last February, a bettor from Isabela won the P65.7-million Super Lotto jackpot.
