How to Read the October 2, 2026 Draw in Five Steps
Start with the biggest board of the night, then work your way down to the small-ticket games. That is the fastest way to confirm whether your ticket hit, and it is the order we use in the newsroom every time the PCSO releases a draw.
Step one: scan the Ultra Lotto 6/58 combination. Step two: check Megalotto 6/45. Step three: look at the 4D four-digit result. Step four: compare your 3D tickets against the 2PM, 5PM and 9PM draws. Step five: do the same for the 2D pairings. Everything you need is laid out in the table below, so you can move top to bottom without opening another tab.
October 2, 2026 was a rollover night for both of the major games. Ultra Lotto 6/58 and Megalotto 6/45 each produced no jackpot winner, which means the top prizes carried over to the next scheduled draw. The consolation tiers still paid out as usual, and the digit games had a busy evening with hundreds of winning tickets per draw.
| Game | Winning combination | Jackpot (PHP) | Winners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Lotto 6/58 | 58-52-34-29-11-32 | 353,311,668.78 | 0 |
| Megalotto 6/45 | 04-24-16-14-43-39 | 87,778,065.45 | 0 |
| 4D Lotto | 4-0-1-7 | 15,846.00 | 17 |
| 3D Lotto 2PM | 8-2-6 | 4,500.00 | 310 |
| 3D Lotto 5PM | 5-2-8 | 4,500.00 | 225 |
| 3D Lotto 9PM | 8-1-9 | 4,500.00 | 433 |
| 2D Lotto 2PM | 08-27 | 4,000.00 | 260 |
| 2D Lotto 5PM | 10-16 | 4,000.00 | 330 |
| 2D Lotto 9PM | 22-09 | 4,000.00 | 795 |
Ultra Lotto 6/58: P353,311,668.78 Rolls Over
The 6/58 board came out as 58-52-34-29-11-32, and nobody matched all six numbers. The advertised jackpot stood at P353,311,668.78, a figure that has been climbing since the last time someone cleared this game.
What does that mean for the next draw? A rollover of this size does two things. It pulls in casual players who only buy when the prize is dramatic, and it pushes regulars to add a second or third line. If you are playing the carryover, budget first. The temptation with a P350-million-plus pot is to overspend on combinations, and that is exactly how a fun night out turns into a monthly problem.
From a numbers standpoint, the 6/58 format gives you one combination out of 40,475,358. No pattern changes that. What you can control is how many lines you buy, and whether you play your own picks or join a small office pool to spread the cost. Office pools are popular for exactly this reason — six people at P20 each covers a P120 outlay with six lines instead of one.
What the 6/58 draw tells us
- Two numbers landed in the 50s (58, 52), the highest cluster on the board.
- The spread ran from 11 up to 58, with no number below 10.
- Zero jackpot winners means the carryover continues.
Megalotto 6/45: P87,778,065.45 With No Winner
The 6/45 combination was 04-24-16-14-43-39, and again the jackpot went unclaimed. The prize sat at P87,778,065.45 going into the draw.
Look at the shape of that set: three low numbers (04, 14, 16) and three high ones (24, 39, 43). This is the kind of split that shows up often in lottery boards, and it is why so many experienced players deliberately mix low and high picks instead of stacking everything in one range. It is not a system that beats the odds, but it does keep your tickets from looking like everyone else's. When a jackpot is shared, a popular pattern means a smaller slice for each winner.
Megalotto runs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and with two rollovers stacked, this game is now the second-richest board on the PCSO calendar. Expect larger crowds at outlets in the hours before the next draw, particularly in Metro Manila and Cebu where outlet traffic spikes on carryover nights.
The 4D draw: 4-0-1-7 pays 17 winners
The 4D result was 4-0-1-7. Seventeen tickets matched all four digits, and each one takes home a share of the P15,846.00 top prize pool. The 4D game remains the bridge between the big lotto games and the pure digit games — harder to hit than 3D, but with a far better payout when you do.
3D Lotto: Three Draws, 968 Winners Combined
The 3D game ran three times on October 2 and produced a steady stream of winners.
- 2PM draw — 8-2-6: 310 winners at a P4,500.00 prize.
- 5PM draw — 5-2-8: 225 winners at P4,500.00.
- 9PM draw — 8-1-9: 433 winners at P4,500.00.
Add those up and you get 968 winning tickets across the day, with the 9PM draw clearly the most popular slot. There is a practical reason for that: the evening draw catches players who buy on the way home from work, and a single 3D combination costs only P12 on the standard play. If you are new to the digit games, 3D is where most people start, because the format is simple and the results come three times a day instead of three times a week.
One detail worth noting for regulars: the number 8 appeared in both the 2PM and 9PM draws, and the number 2 appeared in both the 2PM and 5PM draws. That is normal variance, not a signal. Treat it as trivia, not a strategy.
2D Lotto: 1,385 Winners Across Three Slots
The 2D results came in as follows, with a P4,000.00 prize per winning ticket:
- 2PM — 08-27: 260 winners.
- 5PM — 10-16: 330 winners.
- 9PM — 22-09: 795 winners.
That is 1,385 winning 2D tickets for the day, and the 9PM slot again dominated. The 2D game is the cheapest way to stay in the daily rhythm — a P10 play gives you a straightforward shot at P4,000, and the odds are the friendliest of any PCSO game on the board.
For players who track their spending, the digit games are where discipline matters most. It is easy to buy a P10 ticket at 2PM, another at 5PM and another at 9PM, then repeat the whole cycle the next day. That is P30 a day, or roughly P900 a month. Set a weekly cap, use the same outlet so your receipts stay in one place, and check your tickets on the same night rather than letting them pile up in a drawer.
Claiming Your Prize and Reading the Rollovers
If you matched any of the winning combinations above, here is the practical path. Prizes of P20 up to P10,000 can be claimed at any authorised PCSO lotto outlet, and most regular players collect the same week. Prizes above P10,000 up to P200,000 are processed at PCSO branch offices, typically within five to seven banking days once your ticket and valid ID are verified. Jackpot-tier prizes above P200,000 go through the main office, and the standard processing window is 10 to 15 working days with the 20% final tax already deducted from the published amount.
Two reminders that save people real headaches. First, sign the back of your ticket the moment you buy it — an unsigned winning ticket is the single most common dispute at the counter. Second, the one-year claim period is strictly enforced, counted from the draw date, so October 2, 2026 tickets are valid through October 2, 2027.
On the rollover side, both Ultra Lotto 6/58 and Megalotto 6/45 carry their jackpots into the next scheduled draws. The next 6/58 draw follows the Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday schedule, while 6/45 runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you are joining either board on a carryover night, decide your budget before you look at the prize figure. That single habit is what separates a hobby from a headache.
