A housewife recently claimed more than ₱24 million in jackpot winnings after hitting the correct number combination in the 6/42 Lotto draw held on May 23, 2026.
The winning combination for the 6/42 Lotto draw was 12-18-03-17-05-08, with a total jackpot prize amounting to ₱24,158,156.53.
She officially claimed her prize on May 25, 2026, together with her husband at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City.

The winner also revealed that the lucky combination was inspired by their family’s important birthdays.
The winner said the jackpot prize would greatly help secure their future and improve their quality of life. She added that part of the money will be used to invest in land, and that she also plans to share her blessings with her sister, who helped keep the lucky numbers alive over the years.
