A new millionaire from Cebu is now ₱20,899,725.81 richer after winning the jackpot in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Mega Lotto 6/45 draw held on July 24, 2026.

She claimed her winnings on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at the PCSO Main Office along Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, accompanied by her husband.

The winner correctly matched all six numbers drawn 14-20-19-31-02-11 to claim the life-changing prize.

The winner said she has stayed loyal to the game since her college years, often picking numbers inspired by the birthdays of the people she loves most. That quiet consistency finally paid off in a big way.

Rather than splurge on a lavish lifestyle, the winner shared that she plans to use part of her prize to start a business, one she hopes will give her family greater financial security and a brighter future.
