6/55 lotto jackpot at P130M


Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II Friday said the jackpot for Grand Lotto Saturday is expected to reach P130 million, biggest so far in 2012.
Rojas appealed to Filipinos to continue supporting the agency's charity mission for the poor patients through their lotto bets. "I hope there would be at least one winner of the P130 million jackpot," he said.
Despite the odds, figures from the PCSO website, which has not been updated for quite sometime now, showed that from 1995 to July 2010 6/42 yielded to 772 jackpot winners (with total payout of P8,733,498,531.96); 6/45, 557 (P10,150,360,877.71); 6/49, 183 (P7,052,568,301.80); and 6/55, 1 (P134,629,873.20).

This put the total of jackpot winners for the period at 1,513 and total payout of P26,071,057,584.67
Since July 2010 there were more winners who defied the odds, but the PCSO has yet to put them on the website.
One of these winners is a bettor who placed a bet on January 4, 2011 for 6/49 at the Quick Stop Convenience Store along Gil Puyat Ave., Pasay City.
