A Muntinlupa City bettor is richer by P150,952,935.60 for getting correctly the six-number combination in the Super Lotto 49 drawn Sunday night by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

Conrado Zabella, PCSO assistant manager for on-line lottery, said that the jackpot winner placed his/her bet in the lotto outlet at Zenco Footsteps at 239 Montillano St., Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

Zabella said nearly R20 million was added to the Sunday jackpot following a three-day betting frenzy that started Friday, when it was announced that no bettor won the R131 million Lotto 49 jackpot last Thursday.

The winning combination was 19-45-43-10-44-9.

“However, big sales are also expected within the next few weeks as a result of the attractive jackpot for our Power Lotto game which has reached over P70 million,” Zabella said.

Last Sunday’s lucky bettor may claim his jackpot prize during office hours starting today,” Zabella said.

The PCSO official also cautioned all bettors who won both the jackpot and consolation cash prizes to take good care of their tickets to avoid invalidation.

Recalling the February 22 Lotto 49 draw that gave out the record-high P347.8 million jackpot, Zabella said only one of two jackpot winners was able to show up at the PCSO to claim her prize.

“Maybe the other winner either lost or damaged the winning ticket. Nevertheless, the jackpot winner still has until next February to claim his prize,” said Zabella.

Don de Leon, chief of staff of PCSO Chairman Sergio Valencia, revealed that the unclaimed jackpot prize of about P173 million will go to charity if unclaimed.

De Leon said the PCSO remains hopeful a winner will still claim the jackpot for the February draw.

Last Sunday’s consolation prize winners include 154 bettors of five-number winning combinations; 4,143 for four numbers and 62,601 for three numbers.
