The 1B Peso lotto jackpot in Ultra Lotto 6/58 category is the highest prize from Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Philippines history this time. It breaks the record of the 2010 winner from Olangapo City Zambales who won PHP 741M.

The odds of winning the lotto is 1 over 40,475,358 (million)chance. That means the probability to win the lotto is higher than you will be hit by lightning quadruple times.

So let us compute your chances of winning. If the lotto bet is P 24.00 and multiplied it to the over 40.5M chances, we can get Php 971,408,592.00 . Since the winning lotto prize is P1B, then you will get Php 28,591,408.00. But wait, P1B prize is not tax free. You need to pay the 20% of the winning prize based on the current TRAIN law. So the result is negative Php171,408,592.00. You won the lotto grand prize but you have net loss.

The chance to win the lotto 100% will not guarantee you to win the prize itself if you will follow the 1 is to 40.4M chances of winning.

Wait there’s more.

If you won, the winning jackpot prize will not be given to you in lump sum. It will be given to you in staggered basis for 10 years. Meaning your will receive P80M per year less the 20% tax. It’s not bad right? You will be earning P80M per year for just Php20 bet.
