The October 24, 2026 6/49 Super Lotto Draw at a Glance
Saturday night draws at the PCSO always carry a little extra electricity, and the October 24, 2026 6/49 Super Lotto was no exception. The winning combination drawn was 04-03-22-37-17-24, and the jackpot sitting on top of it was P70,236,247.62. That is a prize pool that would change the shape of any household in the country — roughly enough to buy a modest condominium unit in Metro Manila outright and still leave seven figures for the bank.
What makes this particular draw worth a second look is the shape of the combination itself. The numbers lean low: 03 and 04 sit right at the bottom of the board, 17 and 22 in the lower-middle band, and only 37 and 24 reach into the upper half. The spread between the smallest and largest number is 34, which is wider than the typical 6/49 spread of about 30, but the cluster of small numbers is what jumps out. Bettors who favour a balanced 1-2-2-1 low/high split would have found themselves in familiar territory.
The full results table above lists the game, the combination, the draw date and the jackpot figure exactly as released. If you played a system ticket, a rambol or a fixed combination covering any of those six numbers, this is the moment to pull out your ticket and check it against the table before the 60-day claim window starts eating into your calendar.

Breaking Down the Winning Combination 04-03-22-37-17-24
Let us take the six numbers apart the way our regular readers like to see them.
Odd and even distribution
The combination splits into three odd numbers (03, 37, 17) and three even numbers (04, 22, 24). A perfect 3-3 split. Historically, roughly 33% of 6/49 draws land on a 3-3 odd/even distribution, making it the single most common shape. Nothing exotic here — this is bread-and-butter 6/49 arithmetic.
Decade distribution
Grouping by tens: 03 and 04 fall in the single digits, 17 in the teens, 22 and 24 in the twenties, and 37 in the thirties. That gives a 2-1-2-1 spread across four decades, with nothing at all in the forties. Draws with an empty decade band are common enough — around one in five — but they are frequently overlooked by players who feel compelled to spread their picks evenly across the whole board.
Sum and range
The total of the six numbers is 107. The statistical midpoint for a 6/49 game is 150 (six numbers averaging 25), and most draws fall between 110 and 190. A sum of 107 sits just outside the low edge of that typical band, which is a useful reminder that the middle-heavy combinations people instinctively choose are not the only realistic outcome.
Consecutive pairs and repeat patterns
There is one consecutive pair: 03 and 04. Consecutive pairs appear in roughly 45% of 6/49 draws, so seeing one is not remarkable. There is also a near-pair in 22 and 24, separated by a single digit. No number repeats from the previous draw, and there is no triple or quadruple cluster.
What the P70.2 Million Jackpot Actually Means
The headline figure of P70,236,247.62 is a gross jackpot amount. Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, prizes above P10,000 are subject to a 20% final withholding tax. On a jackpot of this size, that means the winner would take home approximately P56,188,998.10 after tax, with roughly P14,047,249.52 going to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Even after that deduction, the prize remains life-altering. P56 million is enough to fund a starter business, a house and lot outside the metro, a college fund for two or three children, and still leave a substantial cushion in time deposits earning somewhere between 4% and 5.5% annually. That is the practical reality of a Super Lotto jackpot, and it is why the game continues to draw the biggest single-ticket crowds of any PCSO product outside the Grand Lotto.
For those who did not hit all six, the consolation tiers still pay. In the standard PCSO 6/49 Super Lotto prize structure, matching five numbers pays a fixed P50,000, four numbers pays P1,200, and three numbers pays P50. These fixed amounts are not affected by how many other players share the tier, which is a meaningful difference from the pari-mutuel structure used for the jackpot itself. If the jackpot is split among multiple winners, each claimant receives an equal share of the gross pool before the 20% tax is applied to their individual portion.
The difference between P50,000 and P70 million is two numbers. That is the entire emotional architecture of the 6/49 game, and it is why the consolation tiers matter as much as the headline.
How the Draw Compares With Recent Super Lotto History
October 2026 has been an active month for the 6/49 game. Jackpot rollovers through the middle of the month pushed the pool past the P60 million mark before this draw added another layer on top. The October 24 figure of P70,236,247.62 represents one of the larger pools seen in the second half of 2026, though it sits well below the game's record territory.
What tends to happen after a draw of this magnitude is instructive for regular players. When a jackpot crosses the P70 million threshold, ticket sales for the next draw typically climb 25% to 40% as casual players re-enter the pool. That surge does two things: it increases the likelihood of a shared jackpot if the numbers do fall, and it makes the low-tier prizes proportionally less valuable because more tickets are chasing them. Sophisticated players often treat the draw immediately after a big rollover as a lower-value proposition and wait for the pool to build again.
Looking at the combination itself, the low-sum profile of 107 is worth noting against recent draws. Several October results clustered in the 130-160 sum range, so a sub-110 outcome represents a meaningful departure from the month's pattern. Players who run sum-based filters on their combinations would have had this draw excluded from a default 110-190 band — a useful data point for anyone refining their selection approach.
Claiming Your Prize: The Practical Steps
If you are holding a winning ticket for this draw, the process is straightforward but time-sensitive.
The 60-day window
PCSO prizes must be claimed within 60 days from the date of the draw. For the October 24, 2026 draw, that puts the deadline at December 23, 2026. Tickets are void after that date, and there is no appeals process. Mark it on your calendar today, not next week.
Where to claim
Prizes up to P20,000 can be claimed at any authorised PCSO lotto outlet or branch. Amounts above P20,000 must be claimed at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong or at a designated regional branch. Jackpot winners should call the PCSO hotline in advance to arrange the claim, since the process for seven-figure prizes involves verification, documentation and a longer processing window.
What to bring
- The original winning ticket, unsigned on the back until you are at the counter. Sign it only in the presence of a PCSO representative.
- Two valid government-issued IDs (passport, driver's licence, UMID, PhilHealth ID or PRC licence).
- A completed prize claim form, available at the branch.
- For prizes above P100,000, a tax identification number and a recent proof of billing address.
Processing time
Low-tier prizes are typically paid in cash on the same day. Prizes between P20,000 and P100,000 are usually settled within three to five banking days by cheque. Jackpot claims involve a verification period of roughly 10 to 15 working days before the cheque is released, primarily to allow for security and identity checks.
Reading the Pattern: What This Draw Tells Us About 6/49 Behaviour
There is a strain of player on this site who follows our pattern analysis closely, and this draw gives them something to chew on. Three observations stand out.
First, low-cluster combinations remain under-played. When a combination like 04-03-22-37-17-24 falls, the number of tickets matching five or more numbers tends to be smaller than average because most players instinctively avoid stacking low numbers. Fewer co-winners in the upper tiers means the individual payout per winner is cleaner, though the fixed prize structure means this effect is muted in the 6/49 game compared with pari-mutuel formats.
Second, the absent forties band is a recurring signal. Roughly 18% to 22% of 6/49 draws leave at least one decade band empty. Players who insist on covering all five bands with at least one number are systematically excluding a fifth of all possible outcomes. That is not a strategy flaw so much as a statistical blind spot.
Third, the sum of 107 is a reminder that the middle band is not a guarantee. A sum between 110 and 190 covers roughly 68% of draws, which means roughly 32% fall outside it. Bettors who hard-filter their combinations to the middle band are cutting nearly a third of the probability space.
None of this changes the fundamental mathematics: each combination has an equal 1 in 13,983,816 chance of being drawn. What pattern analysis does is help players understand the shape of the game and avoid over-investing in combinations that are structurally over-played by the crowd.
Responsible Play: A Note for Regular Bettors
We say this in every results piece and we will say it again here, because the P70 million headline is exactly the kind of number that pulls people into overextending. A P20 ticket is a P20 ticket. A P500 ticket is a P500 ticket. The odds do not improve in any meaningful way with the size of the wager — a P500 stake on a single combination is no better than a P20 stake on the same combination.
What does improve the experience is treating the game as entertainment with a fixed monthly budget. Most responsible players we speak with set a ceiling of P500 to P1,000 per month across all PCSO games. That is enough for a few draws a week, enough to feel involved, and not enough to strain a household budget. If the draw starts feeling like a financial obligation rather than a bit of weekend fun, that is the signal to step back.
PCSO operates a responsible gaming hotline, and the agency has been steadily expanding its player-protection messaging through 2026. The 18+ age restriction is enforced at all authorised outlets, and claiming a prize requires proof of age alongside identity documents.
What Comes Next for the Super Lotto Jackpot
With this draw's P70,236,247.62 pool now in play, the next 6/49 Super Lotto draw resets to the game's minimum guaranteed jackpot of P16 million if there is a sole winner, or rolls over to a higher figure if the jackpot goes unclaimed. Given the size of the pool, a sole winner is the statistically less likely outcome at this level — larger jackpots attract proportionally more tickets, and the chance of a shared win rises accordingly.
Players planning to enter the next draw should note that the PCSO schedule for the 6/49 Super Lotto runs on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings, with the draw typically conducted at 9:00 PM at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong. Ticket sales close roughly one hour before the draw, so the practical cutoff is 8:00 PM. Outlets in provincial areas sometimes close earlier, particularly in malls with 9:00 PM curfews.
For those tracking the broader PCSO calendar, the Ultra Lotto 6/58 and Grand Lotto 6/55 continue their own schedules, and the smaller games — Lotto 6/42, Digit Games and Keno — run daily. A full results roundup for October 24, 2026 is available in the table above, and we update the results archive every evening after the official draw.
