A lone lottery ticket sold in the country’s main island of Luzon hit the elusive P741 million Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot – the biggest ever in the history of the state-sanctioned lottery.
The winning combination in Monday night’s Grand Lotto draw was 11-16-42-47-31-37. It carried a prize of P741,176,323.20, according to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).
The said amount is the biggest won in the state-run lotto history. It has surpassed the P347,836,903.20 prize of 6/49 Super Lotto that was won last February 22, 2009 by two lucky bettors.
The PCSO said there are 28.9 million possible combinations in the 6/55 game, and only about 25 percent of those combinations have bets on them before Monday’s draw.
The Grand Lotto draws are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
