Grand Lotto pot to hit P204.5 million tonight

MANILA, Philippines — The Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot is estimated to reach P204.5 million by tonight’s draw, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.

Melquiades Robles, PCSO general manager and vice chairman of the board, said no one has won the Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot for the past 12 weeks.

There was no winner in Saturday night’s draw, which had the winning combination 42-53-37-30-29-21 and a jackpot of P197,317,768.

Seven bettors won P100,000 each for guessing five of the six-digit winning combination.

The Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot was last won on Jan. 17, when a bettor who used the PCSO’s e-lotto platform won P698.8 million, the second highest jackpot won by a single winner in the history of the lotto games in the country.

The Grand Lotto 6/55 is drawn every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
