Time is running out on the winner of half the P348-million pot money—the biggest in a local lotto—to get his prize.

Dr. Larry Cedro, spokesman of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, said the bettor from Pasig City is supposed to have redeemed his share by now, adding that Pasay City has taken his share.

The winning six-digit combinations 06-34-20-26-12-33 yielded P347,836,903.20 in last month’s draw.

Noting that winnings can be claimed within one year, Cedro said the thermal paper ticket could fade when exposed to heat.

“This one is taking too long already,” he told Standard Today. Joel M. Sy Egco
