A single father who had faithfully played the lotto for the past 10 years has finally struck it lucky after winning the 15,000,000.00 Megalotto 6/45 jackpot prize in the July 8, 2026 draw with the winning combination 13-05-30-25-22-11.
The fortunate winner officially claimed his jackpot prize at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Main Office on July 15, 2026, exactly one week after the winning draw.
According to the winner, he had been consistently playing for a decade, always believing that one day his chosen numbers would bring him good fortune. What made his winning combination even more meaningful was that all six numbers were based on the birthdays of his loved ones, a set of numbers he had never changed over the years.
As a single father, the jackpot represents more than just financial success. It symbolizes years of perseverance, hope, and dedication to providing a better future for his family.
When asked about his plans for the prize money, the winner revealed that one of his lifelong dreams is to purchase farmland, where he hopes to invest in agriculture and create a stable source of income for the future.
The winner also expressed his gratitude for the unexpected blessing and said he would continue to play responsibly while encouraging others to keep believing that anyone could become the next jackpot winner.
PCSO reminds the public that all Lotto prizes must be claimed within one (1) year from the date of the draw. Jackpot prizes exceeding 10,000 are subject to a 20% final tax pursuant to existing tax laws.
The Megalotto 6/45 draws are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 p.m., and are broadcast live on IBC-13, D8TV, and the PCSO Games Online Hub Facebook page.
