Mandaluyong City: After 28 years of diligently playing the lotto, a resident of Zamboanga City won P21,215,267.00 in the SuperLotto 6/49 drawn on April 27, 2023.
Having played the lotto since it began in 1995, the new millionaire expressed joy and disbelief upon learning that he had finally won the jackpot
The lucky bettor, who picked the winning combination 48-10-12-28-34-05, claimed his winnings at the PCSO Main Office on May 2.
