PCSO Lotto Results for September 30, 2026: Two Jackpots Roll Over
Wednesday night's draw produced no grand prize winner in either of the PCSO's two biggest games, which means the pots keep climbing heading into October. Grand Lotto 6/55 drew the combination 44-28-48-38-23-42 and carried a jackpot of P236,623,866.82 — and not a single bettor matched all six numbers. Megalotto 6/45 landed on 41-35-29-23-20-06 with a prize pool of P83,372,178.85, and that one rolled over too.
If you played either game and came up empty, you're in very large company. The consolation divisions in both draws still paid out, so it's worth checking your tickets against the table above before you toss anything. Smaller prizes, particularly the three-number and four-number categories, are where most of the money actually moved on Wednesday.
The digit games, as usual, did the heavy lifting in terms of winners. 4D Lotto produced 94 winners at P10,000 each, while the three 3D draws combined for over a thousand winning tickets. The 2D games added another 1,821 winners across the three daily time slots. That's a lot of Filipinos who went to bed on September 30 with a little extra in their pockets.

Full Breakdown: Grand Lotto 6/55 and Megalotto 6/45
Let's start with the headliner. The 6/55 combination of 44-28-48-38-23-42 is an interesting set — heavily weighted toward the high end. Four of the six numbers (44, 28, 48, 38) sit in the upper half of the 1-to-55 range, with 42 not far behind. Only 23 breaks the pattern. If you've been reading our number-frequency pieces, you know that clustered high numbers occasionally show up in bunches, and Wednesday was one of those nights.
The spread between the lowest and highest ball was 25 (23 to 48), which is wider than the typical range but not extreme. What stands out more is the absence of any number below 20. That alone eliminates a huge chunk of popular betting patterns — birthday-based picks, anniversary dates, and the like almost always pull from the 1-to-31 range. No wonder nobody won.
Over on Megalotto 6/45, the winning set was 41-35-29-23-20-06. This one is more balanced, spanning 6 to 41 with no obvious gaps, but it still avoided the low single digits except for 6. Consecutive-ish clusters? Not really — the closest pairs are 20 and 23, then 29 and 35, then 41. It's a scattered draw, and scattered draws tend to produce rollovers rather than split jackpots.
Two rollovers in one night is not unusual, but it does mean the next draws for both games will be watched closely. A P236-million-plus 6/55 pot attracts casual players who normally skip the game.
For context, the 6/55 jackpot had been building for several draws before this one. When a pot crosses the P200-million mark, ticket sales typically spike, and the prize pool starts growing faster. We're now in that territory.
4D, 3D, and 2D Lotto: Where the Winners Actually Were
The digit games are the workhorses of the PCSO lineup, and September 30 was no exception. Let's go through them.
4D Lotto
The winning combination was 0-5-2-9, and 94 players matched all four digits to take home P10,000 each. That's a solid winner count for 4D — the game typically pays a fixed amount per winner rather than a pari-mutuel share, so 94 winners means 94 people collected the full prize. Nothing was split.
3D Lotto (2PM, 5PM, 9PM)
All three 3D draws paid P4,500 per winner, but the turnout varied noticeably:
- 2PM draw — 4-1-6: 364 winners
- 5PM draw — 7-1-9: 192 winners
- 9PM draw — 9-2-5: 603 winners
The 9PM draw dominated with 603 winners, more than triple the 5PM count. Evening draws usually attract more players, but a gap this wide suggests the 9-2-5 combination hit a popular pattern. Numbers like 2, 5, and 9 sit in the middle of the 0-9 range and show up frequently in quick-pick selections.
2D Lotto (2PM, 5PM, 9PM)
The two-digit games produced the following results:
- 2PM — 09-29: 1,000 winners (the maximum payout cap was reached)
- 5PM — 07-15: 252 winners
- 9PM — 02-01: 569 winners
The 2PM 2D draw hitting exactly 1,000 winners is worth noting. That's the standard cap for this game, meaning demand exceeded supply — more people matched the winning pair than the prize structure could accommodate at the base rate. The 09-29 combination clearly resonated with a lot of players.
The 9PM 2D draw, with 02-01, also pulled strong numbers at 569 winners. Low-digit pairs like these are perennial favorites, and Wednesday proved why.
What the September 30 Numbers Suggest for October Play
We're not here to sell you a system — lotto is a game of chance, full stop. But looking at patterns can be a fun part of the experience, and a few things stand out from Wednesday's results.
First, the big games both leaned away from low numbers. The 6/55 draw had zero balls under 20, and the 6/45 draw had only one (the number 6). If you're the type who builds combinations around birthdays and small dates, you've probably noticed that this approach rarely aligns with what actually comes out. That's not a reason to abandon it — every combination has the same probability — but it's a reminder that popular patterns are popular for a reason, and the odds don't care about sentiment.
Second, the digit games showed an interesting split. The 2PM 2D draw hit its winner cap, while the 5PM draws in both 3D and 2D produced relatively modest winner counts. If you play multiple time slots, the data suggests that evening and early-afternoon draws are where the crowds are. Fewer winners sometimes means less competition in pari-mutuel games, though 3D and 2D pay fixed amounts, so that logic doesn't quite apply here.
Third, both major jackpots rolling over means the next draws will carry bigger prizes. As of this writing, the Grand Lotto 6/55 pot is sitting above P236 million, and Megalotto 6/45 is past P83 million. Those figures will only grow with each rollover.
If you're planning to play in early October, remember that a bigger jackpot does not mean better odds. The probability of matching all six numbers stays the same regardless of the prize pool. Play within your budget and treat it as entertainment, not investment.
We'll be tracking the next draws closely. In the meantime, check your tickets from Wednesday — especially the 3D and 2D ones. With over 3,000 combined winners across the digit games, there's a decent chance someone in your household is holding a winning slip.
How to Claim Your PCSO Prize
If you're one of the winners from the September 30 draws, here's a quick refresher on the claims process.
Prizes up to P10,000 can be claimed at any authorized PCSO lotto outlet or branch. That covers all the 2D, 3D, and most 4D wins from Wednesday. You'll need to present the winning ticket and a valid government-issued ID. Tickets must be intact — torn, faded, or tampered tickets may be rejected.
For prizes above P10,000 up to P200,000, you'll need to go to a PCSO branch office. Bring two valid IDs and the original ticket. Processing typically takes a few business days, though smaller amounts are often paid on the spot.
Prizes exceeding P200,000 — which would include any future jackpot win — must be claimed at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong. You'll go through verification, tax documentation, and the standard 20% final tax on prizes above P10,000. Bring your ticket, at least two government IDs, and be prepared to fill out claim forms.
One important note: PCSO prizes expire after one year from the draw date. September 30, 2026 winners have until September 30, 2027 to claim. Don't sit on a winning ticket.
Also, sign the back of your ticket as soon as you confirm it's a winner. An unsigned ticket is a lost ticket if it goes missing.
