In an advisory on Wednesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) said the winners from Lucena City, Quezon and Naga City, Camarines Sur correctly guessed the winning combination of 27-26-09-41-19-20.
The winners have one year to claim the PHP25,351,115.00 jackpot at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City upon presentation of the winning ticket and two identification cards.
Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, lotto winnings worth more than PHP10,000 are subject to a 20 percent tax.
The 6/42 Lotto is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
