The Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot would possibly reach a record-high of more than P1 billion by the next draw this Tuesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said.
PCSO Assistant General Manager for Gaming Sector Arnel Cases said the prize could reach the P1 billion-mark since no one won in Sunday’s draw, which had the winning number combination 30–41-53-04-02-54 and jackpot of P954,503,164.
According to Cases, the prize could exceed P1 billion if actual ticket sales generated until the Tuesday cut-off would increase.
The P1-billion jackpot will be the highest in PCSO history, beating the record in 2010 when the Grand Lotto 6/55 prize reached P741 million, which was won by a lone bettor in Olongapo City, Zambales who gambled on the “lucky pick” number combination: 11-16-42-47-31-37. /kga
