What Happened on September 29, 2026?
If you're just starting to follow the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) draws, September 29, 2026, was a typical Tuesday with a full slate of games. The major lotto games—Ultra Lotto 6/58, Superlotto 6/49, and Lotto 6/42—all had jackpots waiting to be won, while the digit games (6D, 3D, and 2D) ran their usual multiple daily draws.
The big story? No one hit the jackpot in any of the three major games, so the prizes keep growing. Meanwhile, the digit games produced thousands of winners across the country. Whether you're checking your tickets or just curious about how PCSO games work, this breakdown will help you understand the results without the jargon.

The Big Three: Ultra Lotto 6/58, Superlotto 6/49, and Lotto 6/42
These are the games that capture the most attention because of their massive jackpots. Let's look at each one from the September 29, 2026 draw.
Ultra Lotto 6/58
The winning combination was 12-20-31-55-38-18 in the order drawn. The jackpot stood at a staggering ₱344,755,600.48. With no jackpot winner, this prize will roll over to the next draw, likely climbing even higher. For beginners: Ultra Lotto is the hardest to win because you need to match all six numbers from 1 to 58. The odds are 1 in 40,475,358, but the potential payout is life-changing.
Superlotto 6/49
The numbers drawn were 27-16-41-02-39-20. The jackpot was ₱27,787,157.37, and again, zero winners. Superlotto uses a 6/49 format, so your chances are slightly better than Ultra Lotto—about 1 in 13,983,816. Still tough, but people do win it regularly.
Lotto 6/42
The combination was 02-23-31-32-15-13. The jackpot reached ₱66,369,399.81, and like the others, no one matched all six numbers. Lotto 6/42 has the best odds among the big three: 1 in 5,245,786. That's why it often produces jackpot winners more frequently.
If you're new, remember that in all these games, the order of the numbers doesn't matter—you just need to have all six numbers on your ticket. The table above shows the exact combinations and jackpot amounts for each game.
Digit Games: 6D, 3D, and 2D Lotto
Not everyone wants to wait for a huge jackpot. The digit games offer daily draws with smaller prizes but much better odds. On September 29, 2026, PCSO held its usual schedules for 6D, 3D, and 2D Lotto.
6D Lotto
The winning combination was 9-0-1-2-5-0. The jackpot was ₱649,611.00, and there were 3 winners. In 6D, you need to match the exact order of six digits. The odds are 1 in 1,000,000, but the prize is shared among winners. With three winners, each took home roughly ₱216,537 (before tax).
3D Lotto
There are three 3D draws daily: 2PM, 5PM, and 9PM. Here's what happened:
- 2PM: Combination 7-9-4, jackpot ₱4,500, winners: 99.
- 5PM: Combination 5-4-6, jackpot ₱4,500, winners: 245.
- 9PM: Combination 3-5-5, jackpot ₱4,500, winners: 176.
In 3D Lotto, you can win by matching the numbers in exact order (called 'straight') or in any order (called 'rambol'). The prize varies depending on your bet type and amount. The fixed ₱4,500 jackpot shown is for the standard straight bet.
2D Lotto
Similar to 3D, but with two digits. The draws were:
- 2PM: 29-17, jackpot ₱4,000, winners: 104.
- 5PM: 09-04, jackpot ₱4,000, winners: 288.
- 9PM: 30-07, jackpot ₱4,000, winners: 258.
2D Lotto also offers straight and rambol bets. The numbers above are for straight bets.
How to Read the Results Table
If you're looking at the table above, you might see columns for game, combination, date, jackpot, and winners. Here's what each means:
- Game: The name of the PCSO game, like 'Ultra Lotto 6/58' or '3D Lotto 2PM'.
- Combo: The winning numbers in the order they were drawn. For major lotto games, order doesn't matter for winning, but for digit games, it often does (unless you played rambol).
- Date: The draw date, which is 9/29/2026 for all entries here.
- Jackpot: The prize amount for the top prize. For major lotto, this is the amount before taxes and is shared if multiple winners. For digit games, it's a fixed prize for straight bets.
- Winners: The number of people who won the jackpot. For major lotto, 0 means no one hit the jackpot, so it rolls over.
Beginners often ask: 'Why is the jackpot for 3D only ₱4,500?' That's because 3D is a fixed-prize game, not a pari-mutuel one. The prize doesn't grow; it's set by PCSO based on your bet type and amount.
What Do the Results Mean for Your Next Bet?
First, a quick reality check: lottery draws are random. Past numbers don't influence future draws. So don't fall for 'hot' or 'cold' number theories. That said, looking at results can help you understand the games better.
For the major lotto games, since no one won on September 29, the jackpots for the next draws will be higher. If you're planning to play, consider that Ultra Lotto's jackpot is now over ₱344 million—a record? Not quite, but it's up there. Superlotto and Lotto 6/42 also have sizable prizes.
For digit games, the results show that 3D and 2D draws often have hundreds of winners, meaning the prizes are shared among many. If you prefer better odds, digit games are a good starting point. Just remember that the payouts are smaller.
Also, note that PCSO has specific draw schedules. Major lotto games are drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Digit games run daily. So if you missed September 29, you can catch the next draw soon.
Beginner Tips for Playing PCSO Lotto
If you're new to PCSO games, here are some practical tips to keep in mind:
- Set a budget. Lottery is entertainment, not an investment. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
- Understand the odds. The major lotto games have incredibly long odds. The digit games are easier to win but pay less. Choose based on your preference.
- Check your tickets carefully. For digit games, the order matters unless you played rambol. For major lotto, order doesn't matter.
- Claim your prize on time. PCSO prizes must be claimed within one year from the draw date. Prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to 20% tax.
- Play responsibly. Never chase losses. If you feel you're losing control, seek help.
Remember, the lottery is a game of chance. The results for September 29, 2026, are just one snapshot. Enjoy the thrill, but keep it fun.
Where to Check Future PCSO Results
PCSO draws are broadcast live on PTV-4 and can be streamed on the PCSO official Facebook page. Results are also published on the PCSO website and in major newspapers. For your convenience, SwertresGuide updates results daily, so you can always find the latest numbers here.
If you're a beginner, it helps to follow a schedule. Major lotto draws are on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9PM. Digit games have multiple draws daily: 2PM, 5PM, and 9PM for 3D and 2D, and 9PM for 6D. Mark your calendar so you don't miss your favorite games.
Also, be wary of scams. Only buy tickets from authorized PCSO outlets. Never trust anyone promising 'guaranteed' wins or selling 'winning' tickets. Play safe.
Final Thoughts (No, Not a Conclusion)
September 29, 2026, was another exciting day for PCSO lotto fans. The big jackpots rolled over, giving hope to thousands of players for the next draw. The digit games created hundreds of winners, proving that you don't need to match six numbers to win something.
Whether you're a seasoned bettor or just curious, understanding the results is the first step to enjoying the game responsibly. So keep playing smart, and may luck be on your side.
