The New Year began with a life-changing windfall for one fortunate bettor who won the Ultra Lotto 6/58 jackpot worth ₱314,591,292.80 on Sunday, January 5, 2025. The winning combination drawn by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) was 36-46-16-19-23-27, instantly turning one lucky ticket into a massive fortune.
No Winners for Other Major Jackpots
While the Ultra Lotto 6/58 created a new multimillionaire, other jackpots offered the same evening remained unclaimed. For the Super Lotto 6/49, which had a prize of ₱15.8 million, the winning combination was 12-35-16-07-45-42, but no bettor matched the numbers.
This significant win follows another major payout in late December, where a bettor bagged the ₱202.5-million Lotto 6/55 jackpot, marking a streak of high-profile wins in PCSO’s lottery games.
Claiming the Ultra Lotto 6/58 Prize
The lucky winner is encouraged to claim their prize at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City. To do so, they must present:
- The original winning ticket, with their name and signature written on the back.
- Two valid government-issued IDs for verification.
The winnings are subject to a 20% tax deduction as required by the TRAIN Law, and the prize must be claimed within one year from the draw date to avoid forfeiture.
Ultra Lotto 6/58: A Game of Big Dreams
The Ultra Lotto 6/58 is one of PCSO’s most popular lottery games, drawing millions of players for its massive jackpots. With a minimum prize of ₱49.5 million, the pot grows with every draw until a winner emerges.

PCSO’s Role in Nation-Building

Responsible Gaming Reminder
The PCSO reminds all players to engage in responsible gaming and purchase tickets only from authorized outlets. Players must also be at least 18 years old to participate in any PCSO games.
