Mandaluyong City, Philippines — Dreams came true for two lucky women, a senior citizen from Los Baños, Laguna, and a housewife from Caloocan City, after they split the staggering ₱104,548,763.10 jackpot in the SuperLotto 6/49 draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on January 8, 2026
Both claimed their prizes at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City on January 12, 2026.
The winning combination 09-11-30-12-24-26 was chosen by both winners using their family members’ birthdates. Each ticket costs only ₱20.00, proving that even small bets can lead to life-changing fortunes.
For the senior citizen, the win was the culmination of more than three decades of persistence. She revealed plans to share her prize with her three siblings, who are also elderly and unemployed. She also hopes to invest in a house and lot and start her own family business.
“Mahigit tatlong dekada na ako sumusubok sa lotto at umaasa din na manalo para mabago ang aking kapalaran. Mahirap at matanda na ako gusto ko naman guminhawa ang buhay namin ng pamilya ko. Babahaginan ko din ang mga kapatid ko” she said.
Her advice to fellow lotto players was simple yet heartfelt, “Sa mga mananaya huwag kayo mawawalan ng pagasa. May awa ang Diyos sa mga naniniwala sa kanya.”
The second winner, a 38-year-old housewife, has been an occasional lotto player for more than a decade. While still undecided on how to use her share of the jackpot, she intends to save a portion and treat the prize as a blessing from God.
Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, a 20% tax is automatically deducted from prizes above ₱10,000.
The SuperLotto 6/49 is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 9:00 p.m. via live telecast on IBC-13 and D8TV. Winning numbers and other PCSO game details are available on the official PCSO website and Facebook page.
