The Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot is projected to likely reach P885 million by this Friday’s draw, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said Wednesday.
PCSO Assistant General Manager for Gaming Sector Arnel Cases said the prize could reach up to P885 million since no one got the winning number combination 30–41-53-04-02-54 from Tuesday night’s draw.
The Ultra Lotto jackpot prize on Tuesday night was at P849,578,320.
Meanwhile, other PCSO lotteries — Super Lotto 6/49 and Lotto 6/42 — would have jackpots of P78 million and P51 million, respectively, for its Thursday night draw. /kga
