Saturday's 6/55 Grand Lotto created about 198, 264 lucky winners in all possible types of sure-win combination except one - the excessively prized six number combination of 18-17-36-04-40-13, which could have led to claiming the current largest pot in Philippine lotto (PCSO) history amounting to P543,663,673.20.
111 people won P150,000 each for guessing five out of the six number combination, while an estimated 190,000 bets got the low tier prizes.
Launched in April 2009, the 6/55 Grand Lotto replaced the high-end Power Lotto so as to raise more funds for the PCSO's charity projects. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) takes charge of all the proceedings associated with these projects.
The next draw for the 6/55 Grand Lotto will be on Monday night. The Grand Lotto jackpot is expected to reach P574 million.
The coming days will surely be a buzz, as more and more people will be cashing out in this game of chance, most especially when the winner takes it all.
