vipph Lone bettor wins P202 million lotto pot

MANILAvipph, Philippines — A bettor in Legazpi City, Albay was the solo winner of the Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot prize of P202.5 million on Saturday.

Melquiades Robles, Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager, said the bettor correctly guessed the winning combination 45-46-33-23-03-48 drawn on Saturday night.

There were also 17 second prize winners of P100,000 each for guessing five of the six digit winning combination, Robles said.

Last Monday, the PCSO jacked up the 6/55 jackpot to P200 million as part of their Christmas season “Handog Pakabog” lotto marketing campaign to drive lotto revenues during the long holiday break.  

“The reopening of the investigations of the high killings related to the war on drugs should indicate that the Marcos administration places the highest importance on the fair dispensation of justice and on the universal observance of the rule of law in the country,” Bersamin said 

Lee had been persistent in pressing DOH and the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. for better benefit packages to reduce out-of-pocket expenses. vipph
