Manila, Philippines – January 5, 2025
A life-changing moment unfolded tonight as the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) announced a single winner for the Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot prize of Php314,591,292.80.
The winning number combination, 36-46-16-19-23-27, was drawn during the highly anticipated evening draw. Only one lucky bettor managed to match all six numbers, securing one of the largest jackpots of 2025 so far.
PCSO officials have confirmed that the winning ticket was purchased from a licensed outlet, but further details about the ticket location and the winner’s identity remain undisclosed.
This monumental win has sent waves of excitement across the nation, with Filipinos celebrating the possibilities of luck and perseverance. The winner is urged to double-check their ticket, keep it secure, and proceed to the PCSO’s main office in Mandaluyong City for validation and claiming of the prize.
According to PCSO regulations, the jackpot is subject to a 20% tax under the TRAIN Law, meaning the winner will take home approximately Php251,672,634.24.
In addition to the jackpot, smaller prizes were awarded to bettors who correctly guessed five, four, or three of the winning numbers.
This latest Ultra Lotto win has sparked renewed hope and excitement among regular players, with many already looking forward to the next draw. The PCSO reminded the public to play responsibly and reiterated that proceeds from lotto games help fund essential charitable programs across the country.
What Happens Next for the Winner?
The new multimillionaire must present two valid government-issued IDs and the original winning ticket for claiming. Winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prize. Failure to do so will forfeit the amount, which will go to PCSO’s charity fund.
As the country waits for the winner to step forward, the PCSO continues to remind players to dream big, play fair, and never lose hope. Congratulations to the lucky bettor who is now set to join the ranks of the Philippines’ newest multimillionaires!
