1 lucky winner for 6/49 draw.
A lucky player from Lipa City in Batangas won the P102,728,466.00 million jackpot of the 6/49 Super Lotto online lottery draw last Thursday. (Sept 21,2012)
40 players won the second prize worth P56,000 each after they picked five digits of the six-digit winning number combination.
The two lucky winners of 6/55 have already claimed their prizes.
The two winners split the total prize pot of P299,897,496.00, or P149,948,748.00 each
The first to claim was a tricycle driver from Bataan.
The driver bought his lotto ticket in Bataan, using a combination of his age, his wife’s age and their children’s birthdays.
The second winner, a 76-year-old female retiree from Southern Leyte paid P120 for 6 combinations.
The winner also used her family's birthdays as the number combination for the winning bet.
Three in a row for 6/55
After the big jackpot of almost P300 million with two winners, two more draws of 6/55 were won again by lone bettors.
Believe it or not ....... only in the Philippines.
The Grand Lotto jackpot, which had reverted back to the minimum guaranteed amount of P30 million, was won again at the following draw on Sept. 15. The solo winner a 58-year-old housewife was once again from Bataan.
The winning combination 4-11-15-17-43-45 had been her “pet” combination since she started betting in 2008.
No sooner had the dust settled when the Grand Lotto jackpot prize, still at the P30-million minimum, was won again in the next draw on September 17.
The 62-year-old solo winner was again a retiree, this time from Batangas. He had been betting since 1995, but he drew up the winning combination of 8-14-24-26-28-47 randomly.

While surfing the net, I found a interesting sad story about a lotto winner who was murdered by their Accountant friend because of being wasteful with money. As the saying goes, money kills.
Accountant jailed for murdering lotto winner.
A central coast accountant who murdered his lottery winning friend because she was being "wasteful" with the money has been sentenced to a maximum of 18 years in jail.
Peter Joseph Kelly, 56, had known Maria Lou Devrell and her husband David for nearly 20 years before murdering her on March 28 last year.
When Mr Devrell won $5 million in Oz Lotto in 1999, he entrusted his friend with managing the money.
But tension soon developed between Kelly and Mrs Devrell over her spending habits, with the former repeatedly warning her that her spending was unsustainable.
Kelly, who later told police he "saw crimson", got a heavy rubber mallet from his car, wrapped it in plastic wrapping and beat Mrs Devrell over the head.
He then used his hand to cover the woman's mouth, strangling her to death.
Mrs Devrell's young daughter found her some hours later lying in a pool of blood.
Kelly pleaded guilty five months later.
In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Robert Hulme said he rejected Kelly's argument that he had not intended to kill and had been provoked.
"The offender took the deceased's purse to make it look like a robbery gone wrong," he said.
"That is in keeping with a logical train of thinking, not a loss of control."
However, he accepted that Kelly's actions were an "uncharacteristic aberration in an otherwise blameless life of a good man".
Kelly stood motionless as he was sentenced to a maximum of 18 years jail with a minimum of 13 years.
He will be eligible for parole in October 2024.
