CEBU CITY—A woman in her mid-60s is the country’s new multimillionaire.

She won the P272 million in lotto jackpot prize of the Philippine Charity and Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).

Glen Jesus Rada, manager of the Cebu branch of PCSO in Cebu City, told the Inquirer that the woman was accompanied by her grandson when she went to the PCSO office located along the S. Osmeña Road in North Reclamation Area to verify if the ticket she was holding indeed contained the winning lotto combination.
