Mandaluyong City. A longtime patron of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) lotto from Biñan, Laguna claimed the 70-million jackpot prize from the Megalotto 6/45 draw held on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. The winning combination was 10-18-19-23-25-28.
The solo winner, who requested anonymity, visited the PCSO Main Office and met with General Manager Melquiades Robles to formally claim the prize. He shared that he had been consistently trying his luck since the inception of the Philippine lottery in March 1995, and after years of playing, he finally hit the jackpot.
“It’s been quite a while since I bagged four out of the six-winning numbers in past games. Finally, this time, I got them all,” the winner said.
When asked about his plans for the prize money, he shared:
“I’ll probably put some of it in the bank or invest in equities. I just want my winnings to work for me – and just take it easy and enjoy a more relaxed life.”
The winner departed quietly after completing the verification and payout procedures, joining the growing list of Filipinos whose lives have been transformed through PCSO’s games.
