MANILA, Philippines - Prepare for long lines in lotto outlets nationwide because the jackpot prize for the 6/55 Grand Lotto is expected to reach P235 million in today’s draw, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said yesterday.
“We are calling on lotto fans to buy their tickets early,” said PCSO general manager Ferdinand Rojas.
The jackpot prize of the Super Lotto 6/49, meanwhile, is expected to reach P120 million in the draw tomorrow. The Super Lotto has generated the biggest lotto jackpot in PCSO history – P340 million in February 2008 – which was shared by two winners from Pasig and Caloocan.
The second biggest lotto jackpot of P249 million was won by a 61-year-old construction worker from Novaliches, Quezon City in August 2008.
