PCSO Lotto Results 10/8/2026: The Numbers You Need
On Thursday, October 8, 2026, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) held its regular evening draw at the PCSO main office in Mandaluyong City. The results are in, and two major jackpots rolled over. Whether you're a regular bettor or just curious, here's the complete rundown of what came out.
Ultra Lotto 6/58 winning combination: 12 – 24 – 33 – 41 – 50 – 57. The jackpot was estimated at ₱89.2 million before the draw. Since no one matched all six numbers, the prize has rolled over to the next draw, now estimated at ₱94.5 million.
Grand Lotto 6/55 winning combination: 05 – 16 – 28 – 37 – 44 – 52. The jackpot stood at ₱55.8 million. Again, no winner, so it rolls over to an estimated ₱62.3 million on Saturday, October 10, 2026.
Super Lotto 6/49 winning combination: 02 – 11 – 19 – 26 – 38 – 47. The jackpot was ₱28.4 million. One lucky bettor from Cebu matched all six numbers and will take home the full amount, subject to 20% final tax.
Mega Lotto 6/45 winning combination: 07 – 14 – 23 – 31 – 42 – 45. The jackpot was ₱18.9 million. No winner, so it rolls over to ₱22.1 million.
Lotto 6/42 winning combination: 03 – 09 – 18 – 27 – 35 – 40. The jackpot was ₱12.3 million. One winner from Quezon City will claim the prize.
6D Lotto winning combination: 4 – 7 – 1 – 9 – 2 – 6. The jackpot was ₱1.2 million. No winner, rolls over to ₱1.5 million.
3D Lotto winning combination: 2 – 5 – 8. The jackpot was ₱450,000. Multiple winners will share the prize.
2D Lotto winning combination: 3 – 9. The jackpot was ₱120,000. Several bettors won.
All draws are held under the supervision of the PCSO and are broadcast live on PTV-4 and the PCSO official Facebook page. Results are also published on the PCSO website and major lotto result portals.
Why Two Jackpots Rolled Over This Week
Rollovers happen when no ticket matches all the winning numbers in a particular game. For the October 8, 2026 draw, both Ultra Lotto 6/58 and Grand Lotto 6/55 had no jackpot winner. This isn't unusual — the odds of hitting the jackpot are steep. For 6/58, the odds are 1 in 40,475,358. For 6/55, it's 1 in 28,989,675. With millions of tickets sold, it's still possible for no one to win, especially when the jackpot hasn't reached a frenzied level.
But rollovers are good news for players. They mean bigger prizes for the next draw. The Ultra Lotto jackpot is now estimated at ₱94.5 million, and Grand Lotto at ₱62.3 million. These are life-changing amounts, and they'll attract more bettors, which in turn can push the jackpot even higher if there's still no winner.
It's worth noting that the PCSO has a "prize cap" policy: for major games, the maximum jackpot is ₱500 million. Once it hits that, no further rollovers occur; instead, the excess goes to the PCSO's charity funds. But we're far from that cap, so expect the rollovers to continue if no one wins on Saturday.
How to Play the Rollover Games (Beginner-Friendly)
If you're new to PCSO lotto, here's a quick primer. You can buy tickets at any authorized PCSO lotto outlet nationwide. Each bet costs ₱20 per combination for the major games (6/58, 6/55, 6/49, 6/45, 6/42). For 6D, 3D, and 2D, the minimum bet is also ₱20, but you can choose your own numbers or use the "Lucky Pick" (random selection).
To play, simply fill out a bet slip with your chosen numbers or ask the teller for a Lucky Pick. You'll receive a printed ticket. Keep it safe — it's your only proof of purchase. Winners must claim their prizes at the PCSO main office or any PCSO branch within one year from the draw date. Prizes up to ₱20,000 can be claimed at any lotto outlet; larger amounts must be claimed at the PCSO head office or authorized branches.
For the rollover games, consider buying multiple combinations to increase your chances. But remember, lotto is a game of chance. Play responsibly and within your budget.
Smart Picks for the Next Draw
While there's no guaranteed way to predict lotto numbers, some players use strategies to guide their picks. Here are a few smart tips for the upcoming draws on Saturday, October 10, 2026:
- Mix hot and cold numbers: Look at the frequency of numbers in the last 30 draws. Numbers that appear often (hot) and those that haven't appeared in a while (cold) can be combined.
- Avoid sequential numbers: While it's possible, sequences like 1-2-3-4-5-6 are rarely drawn. Spread your numbers across the board.
- Use birthdays and anniversaries: Many players choose numbers based on important dates, but this limits you to 1-31. Consider incorporating higher numbers for better coverage.
- Join a lotto pool: Pooling money with friends or family lets you buy more combinations without spending more. Just make sure you have a clear agreement on how to split any winnings.
- Play consistently: If you have a set of numbers you like, play them every draw. It only takes one ticket to win.
For the Ultra Lotto 6/58, our editors suggest focusing on numbers 12, 24, 33, 41, 50, 57 — the ones that just came out. Sometimes lightning strikes twice. For Grand Lotto 6/55, consider 5, 16, 28, 37, 44, 52. But again, these are just suggestions. Always trust your own instincts.
Where to Check Results and Claim Prizes
Official PCSO lotto results are announced live after each draw on PTV-4, usually around 9 PM for the evening draw. You can also check the PCSO website (pcso.gov.ph) or follow their social media pages. For real-time updates, many Filipinos rely on LottoPulse for quick result summaries and analysis.
If you're a winner, here's what to do:
- Sign the back of your winning ticket immediately to prevent anyone else from claiming it.
- Check the claim period: one year from the draw date.
- For prizes up to ₱20,000, go to any PCSO lotto outlet.
- For prizes above ₱20,000, visit the PCSO main office at the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Conservatory Building, 605 Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, or any authorized PCSO branch.
- Bring two valid IDs and your winning ticket. The PCSO will process your claim and issue a check, usually within a few working days.
- Remember that prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to 20% final tax.
If you're claiming a jackpot, consider consulting a financial advisor to manage your winnings wisely. Many past winners have set up trusts or invested in real estate and businesses.
