MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced that a government employee from Tacloban was one of the two winners who will share the P521,275,111.60 jackpot prize in Ultra Lotto 6/58 drawn on December 30, 2022.
The woman claimed her prize at the PCSO Main Office on January 11, 2023, after guessing the winning combination of 01-23-15-03-08-05.
The lucky bettor admitted she rarely buys lotto ticket but decided to try her luck to welcome the New Year. She doesn't even have a favorite lottery combination. She and her family even had to find out the result via Facebook and research it on YouTube because they didn’t watch the drawing live. So, when she won, her family couldn’t believe their luck and was unable to sleep through the night.
The lucky winner said, “Hindi po kami nakatulog, hindi po kami makapaniwala. Nakita po lamang naming na nanalo po yung tiket ay doon po sa Facebook, hindi po pa rin kami mapakali kaya pinanood po namin ang buong draw sa YouTube.”
“Yung mga numero po ay hindi po naming alaga at bihira lang po ako tumaya,” she added.
The 44-year-old winner explained the meaning of her lucky number combination. She explained, “Yung 1 po ay dahil January, 23 para sa 2023, 15 araw ng fiesta po sa Bohol, 8 at 3 edad po ng father ko na 83 years old na po at iyong 5 po ay gusto ng father ko umuwi sa Bohol ng January 5.”
The winner admitted she still has no clear plans for what to do with her winnings. But she prayed to the Lord that they would be guided on how to share their unexpected blessings with those in need.
“Above all salamat sa Panginoon, sa blessings na binigay saka salamat salamat sa PCSO. Sana gabayan kami Lord para magamit itong blessings na binigay sa amin at sana ma i-share din naming ito sa mga taong nangangailangan at makatulong kami sa iba,” she said.
She will take home half of the jackpot prize, or around P260,637,555.80. Her winnings will be subject to a 20% tax under the Tax Reform Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law.
