In a remarkable stroke of luck, two individuals from Cebu and Sultan Kudarat have won the MegaLotto 6/45 jackpot, splitting a prize of over P30 million. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced that these lucky bettors correctly guessed the winning six-digit combination of 04-34-02-28-42-20 in the draw held on October 25, 2023.
One of the winners, from Sultan Kudarat, had previously sought financial assistance from the PCSO for medical expenses, including dialysis and hospitalization after suffering a stroke. This individual claimed their share of the jackpot on November 7, 2023. The other winner, from Cebu, collected their winnings on November 9, 2023.
Both winners have been regular participants in PCSO lotto games for over a decade before winning the jackpot. Their success story has been shared as an encouragement for the public to continue participating in lotto games, which also fund various charity projects of the PCSO.
