MANILA – The chase for the more than a billion pesos worth of jackpot has come to an end.
Two bettors guessed the right number combination for the 6/58 Ultra Lotto game on Sunday evening.
Picking the winning combination 40-50-37-25-1-45, they will equally split the jackpot prize of P1,180,622,508, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said.
But the jackpot prize is still subject to a 20-percent tax deduction under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law.
The 6/58 Ultra Lotto jackpot reached the current amount since two bettors won and shared the P331.9-million jackpot on Feb. 16.
The PCSO-authorized numbers game is drawn every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday./PN
