2 win P188M Super Lotto pot

MANILA, Philippines ? Two lucky bettors finally struck gold Thursday night and will be sharing the P188 million jackpot in the popular 6/49 Super Lotto game after weeks of no one winning the prize.

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said two winners correctly guessed the winning combination of 28-03-47-49-05-19, with a cool prize of P188,155,137.60.

In a text message, PCSO spokesman Doctor Larry Cedro said the bettors bought their tickets in outlets in Luzon, although the approximate locations were yet to be revealed.

Each winner will be taking home P94,077,569.30 as his or her share of the prize.

Earlier Thursday, Cedro expressed confidence that the 6/49 Super Lotto jackpot would breach its P182-million target for the Thursday night draw.

At around 6 p.m., the PCSO said the jackpot was already at P181,922,839.20, with the day's sales at P79,381,000.

?Definitely the target will be breached,? he said in a text message to the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Thursday afternoon.

As of 5 p.m., the jackpot was at P179,598,013.20 with the day's sales at P66,465,300. Earlier at 4 p.m. Thursday, the jackpot reached P177,404,097.60 with sales at P54,276,880.

This is the second time this year that the popular lotto game breached the P100-million mark. In February, two winners from Pasig City and Caloocan City shared the biggest prize ever at P347 million.

The winner from Pasig City had not yet claimed his or her prize, however, Cedro said.

In April 2008, a construction worker from Novaliches, Quezon City took home P249 million, the now second biggest jackpot prize ever in the 6/49 Super Lotto game.
