MANILA, Philippines — A bettor in Compostela town in Cebu won the P288-million prize for the lotto 6/55 draw on Saturday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said.

PCSO general managerMelquiades Robles said the sole winner bet on the combination 13-42-06-45-24-33, which carried a jackpot of P288,616,075.

The prize had accumulated for more than two months. The last time a bettor won the Grand Lotto was on Oct. 30, taking the P91-million prize – a jacked-up pot in celebration of the PCSO’s 91st anniversary.
