The winners have one year to claim the PHP 184,998,366.40 prize at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City, subject to a 20-percent tax. Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings worth more than P10,000 are subject to a 20-percent tax.
PCSO said 103 others won P50,000 each for guessing five out of the six winning digits; 3,928 bettors will get P1,200 each for four correct digits; and 50.020 will settle for P50 each for three correct digits. The Super Lotto 6/49 is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles encouraged the public to support the agency’s gaming products to raise additional revenues for health initiatives, medical services, and other national charities.
Through its mandatory contributions, the PCSO not only helps people in need of medical assistance but also provides funds to government institutions.
