The winning combination, 21-27-51-19-14-53, earned him the life-changing prize after placing a System 9 bet, a choice that proved to be worth millions.
According to the lucky bettor, who has been a lotto enthusiast for decades, his consistency and faith in the game finally paid off. “Matagal ko nang libangan ang lotto. Hindi ko akalaing darating din ang panalo,” he shared.
The winner said he intends to use his winnings wisely. “Plano kong ipunin ang pera at mag-invest sa negosyo para sa kinabukasan,” he added.
Under the TRAIN Law, all lotto winnings above ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% tax deduction, which is automatically withheld from the total jackpot prize before release to the winners.
The GrandLotto 6/55 is drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, giving players three chances weekly to win millions while supporting the agency’s health and charity programs for the Filipino people.
All draws are conducted live and are broadcast through PCSO’s official channels, including IBC-13, D8TV, and PCSO’s Facebook and YouTube pages, ensuring transparency and accessibility for the betting public.
