“No restrictions on tourists and foreigners. For so long you have the valid ticket, you can claim your prize,” Casas told INQUIRER.net in a text message.

Last Sunday, the Ultra Lotto 6/58 had a prize of P954,503,164 for the winning numbers: 30–41-53-04-02-54. But nobody won.

To recall, the biggest jackpot won in the history of PCSO was in 2010 when it reached P741 million. A lone bettor in Olongapo City in Zambales took home the Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot via a “lucky pick” combination of numbers: 11-16-42-47-31-37.  /kga
