It's a lucky day for two fortunate bettors from Metro Manila and Samar, who will be splitting the P71.9 million jackpot from the Super Lotto 6/49 draw held on Tuesday night. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced on Wednesday that the winning combination, 39-46-19-36-09-49, hit the jackpot with a grand total of P71,921,015.20.

The winning tickets were bought in Quezon City and Samar, Western Samar.

But the winning didn't stop there. Two other lucky players managed to guess five out of the six numbers, taking home P50,000 each. In addition, 1,158 bettors will receive P1,200 for getting four correct digits, while 14,983 players get a P50 consolation prize for hitting three correct numbers.

For those holding winning tickets, remember: under Republic Act 1169, you’ve got one year from the draw date to claim your prize. And if your jackpot exceeds P10,000, a 20% tax will apply under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law (TRAIN).

To claim those massive winnings, you’ll need to head over to the PCSO main office along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City. Just don’t forget to bring your lucky ticket!

The Super Lotto 6/49 continues to thrill lotto enthusiasts, with draws held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles encouraged the public to keep supporting the agency's games, which not only give people the chance to win life-changing prizes but also raise funds for important health programs and charitable initiatives across the country.
