Lotto 6/42 is the Philippines’ first national lottery game. Players have to select six (6) numbers from 1 to 42 and match all of them to the drawn official winning number combination to win the Minimum Jackpot Prize (MJP) of 10,000,000.00 (net of agent’s prize commission). The jackpot prize keeps on growing based on nationwide sales until there is a jackpot winner! Odds is 1 out of 5,245,786 combinations.
How to Play
Each Lotto 6/42 ticket costs 25.00. You may select your own 6-number combination from 1 to 42 on each board or play Lucky Pick (LP) and let the computer choose your numbers. To play with the same selected numbers for more than one draw, mark your preferred number of draws you want to play in the DRAW panel.
SYSTEM play is also available for this game. Simply select the 5R, SYS 7 up to SYS 12 option in your playslip to play your preferred System game and pay the corresponding amount.
