A housewife in her mid-50s claimed her ₱15,000,000.00 MegaLotto 6/45 jackpot prize, drawn on February 18, 2026, at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Main Office in Mandaluyong City, accompanied by her husband.
The lucky winner purchased her ticket at a lotto outlet in Iloilo City, after her usual outlet had been transferred to another location. She has been playing lotto about four times a week, always choosing Lucky Pick combinations worth ₱25.00 per draw. Her perseverance paid off when her Lucky Pick ticket matched the winning combination 35-05-45-04-38-23.
The winner shared that she plans to save the prize money for the future of her child, ensuring long-term security and opportunities for her family.
PCSO once again reminds the public to play responsibly and that lotto games provide equal chances of winning to all players.
To claim prizes, winners must sign the back of the winning ticket, present two valid government-issued IDs, and personally 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. Jackpot prizes must be claimed within one year from the draw date, as mandated by Republic Act No. 1169; otherwise, unclaimed prizes are forfeited to the PCSO Charity Fund, which supports health and welfare programs nationwide.
The Mega Lotto 6/45 draws are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 p.m., and are broadcast live on IBC-13, D8TV, and the PCSO Games Online Hub Facebook page.
