MANILA, Philippines — As of Wednesday, the mounting jackpots from the various on-line lotteries of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) continued to elude millions of punters, with Grand Lotto 6/55 having the biggest pot at P77,177,499.20, PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II said Thursday.
Rojas expressed the wish that bettors would have the chance to grab the jackpots in time for their Yuletide needs.
A look at the PCSO website showed that the jackpots in the State charity agency's major lotto games have so far been eluding millions of bettors, with prizes at stake at P77,177,499.20 for 6/55 and expected to increase by Saturday; over P57,307,899.60 for Super Lotto 6/49 and P65,957,202, which would have increased for the draw of Lotto 6/42 last night.
For Mega Lotto 6/45 the jackpot is still at P25,363,249.20 and rising for the Friday draw .
Grand Lotto has its last winner on Sept. 28 who won the P72,537,879.60 bonanza (27-12-07-28-08-21). But the winner still has to show up at the PCSO and claim his winnings.
The Super Lotto jackpot was last won by three bettors on Oct. 10, who divided the P94,897,000.80 pot. The winning combination was 05-25-08-21-17-06. The three winners had all claimed their respective shares.
