Lucky mistake yields PHP43 M lotto prize

A lucky mistake paid off for a 21-year-old new college graduate from Taguig City when she hit all six numbers on the 6/45 Mega Lotto’s March 18 draw.

Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) general manager Jose Ferdinand Rojas II said the winner of the PHP43 million jackpot prize intended to play the 6/42 game but was handed a 6/45 card instead.

However, instead of asking for the card she wanted, the winner reportedly felt that playing the 6/45 game was the right thing to do. She bet on the numbers 11-16-21-03-08-29, using her siblings’ birth dates, the Philippine Star reported.
