Mandaluyong City – A Lotto 6/42 player from Cebu City has proven that persistence and smart play would eventually pay off after claiming the P102,346,298.00 jackpot prize at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Main Office on June 11, 2025.
The winning combination 05-22-14-03-23-11 was drawn on June 3, 2025, turning the winner’s advance play strategy into a life-changing moment. The winning ticket was purchased from a lotto outlet at South Town Center, Talisay City, Cebu.
According to the winner, he regularly plays his favorite numbers derived from family birthdates and ages, and he often opts for Advance Draw Play, which allows bettors to purchase entries for multiple draws in advance. He bought his ticket on May 27, 2025, covering the May 29, May 31, June 3, June 5, and June 7 Lotto 6/42 draws.
“Lagi po akong tumataya ng advance, madalas one-week advance po para hindi na ako pabalik-balik sa outlet. Noong nakita ko po ang resulta, kaba po agad ang naramdaman tapos paulit-ulit ko pong chineck. At ‘yun nga po, sobrang saya ko na lahat ng numero ko tumama,” the winner shared.
He plans to use his winnings to invest in his children’s education and purchase property for his family’s future.
The PCSO reminds all lotto players of the convenience and advantage of Advance Draw Play, which not only saves time but also ensures bettors never miss a draw, as proven by this jackpot winner’s story.
To claim prizes, winners must sign the back of the winning ticket, present two valid government-issued IDs, and claim their prize at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City. Prizes exceeding ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% tax under the TRAIN Law, and jackpot prizes must be claimed within one year from the draw date, as mandated by RA 1169. Otherwise, the unclaimed prize will be forfeited in favor of the PCSO Charity Fund, which supports health and welfare programs nationwide.
The Lotto 6/42 draw is held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9:00 PM and are broadcast live on IBC-13, D8TV, and the PCSO Games Online Hub Facebook page.
