How 6/45 Mega Lotto Works
Mega Lotto 6/45 picks six numbers from a pool of 1 to 45, yielding 8,145,060 possible combinations. That sits below 6/49 in both pool size and difficulty, with notably better odds — at 1 in 8.1 million, you're roughly five times more likely to hit the jackpot than in 6/58.
It draws Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 PM Philippine time. Each ticket costs ₱25, the same price as every other six-ball game. The starting jackpot is ₱9,000,000.
Because the odds are shorter, 6/45 produces jackpot winners more frequently than the bigger games. This means the pot resets to ₱9M more often and typically doesn't climb as high — but it also means you see real winners regularly, which is part of its appeal to players who want a jackpot game that actually pays out on a reasonable timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does 6/45 Mega Lotto draw?
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 PM Philippine time.
How much is a 6/45 ticket?
₱25 per six-number combination, manually chosen or via Lucky Pick.
What is the starting jackpot for 6/45?
₱9,000,000, which rolls over with each draw that produces no jackpot winner.
How does 6/45 compare to the other lotto games?
It sits in the middle of the five six-ball games by difficulty. Better odds than 6/49, 6/55, and 6/58 (1 in 8.1M vs 14M, 29M, and 40.5M respectively), but longer odds than 6/42 (1 in 5.2M). Same ₱25 ticket price across all five.
How often does someone win the 6/45 jackpot?
More frequently than the bigger games. Because the odds are shorter (1 in 8.1M), the pot resets more often — multiple jackpot winners per month is common during high-sales periods.
Does the order of numbers matter?
No. All PCSO six-ball games are any-order — your six numbers just need to match the six drawn numbers, regardless of arrangement.
What are the odds of winning any prize?
About 1 in 37 for any prize tier, including the ₱20 consolation for matching 3 numbers.
How do I claim a 6/45 prize?
Same as all PCSO games: up to ₱10,000 at any outlet, up to ₱100,000 at branch offices, over ₱100,000 at the main office. See our claiming guide.
6/45 Mega Lotto Odds & Prize Tiers
| Prize Tier | Match | Odds | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackpot | 6 of 6 numbers | 1 in 8,145,060 | Minimum ₱9M (rolls over) |
| 2nd Prize | 5 of 6 numbers | 1 in 34,808 | Pari-mutuel |
| 3rd Prize | 4 of 6 numbers | 1 in 733 | Pari-mutuel |
| 4th Prize | 3 of 6 numbers | 1 in 45 | ₱20 |
The overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 37 — the second-best among the five six-ball games (only 6/42 is better). Matching 3 numbers for the ₱20 consolation happens roughly once every 45 tickets.
6/45 Mega Lotto Tips for Players
- More frequent winners mean more frequent resets. The 6/45 jackpot resets to ₱9M more often than the bigger games because its shorter odds produce winners more regularly. Don't expect the same massive rollovers as 6/58.
- Best value for regular players. If you play every draw week after week, 6/45's better odds mean you'll hit the consolation tiers (3-4 number matches) more often, partially subsidizing your play.
- Same price, different odds. Every six-ball game costs ₱25 per combination. The only thing that changes is the number pool — and 6/45's 1 in 8.1M is a meaningful step down from 6/49's 1 in 14M.
- Pairs well with 6/42. 6/45 draws Mon/Wed/Fri and 6/42 draws Tue/Thu/Sat — between them you have the two most winnable jackpot games covered six nights a week.

How PCSO Lotto Number Frequency Analysis Works
Frequency analysis tracks how often each number appears in recent PCSO lotto draws. Numbers that appear more often than average are called "hot numbers" (masipag), while numbers that rarely appear are "cold numbers" (kalmado). This data is computed from actual draw results stored in our database — not estimates or predictions.
Some players prefer picking hot numbers, believing momentum carries forward. Others choose cold numbers, expecting them to be "due." Neither strategy changes the mathematical odds — every number has an equal probability each draw — but frequency data helps you make informed, data-driven picks rather than relying on guesswork.
Our analysis updates automatically after each PCSO draw. Select any game and time range above to see the most current frequency distribution. The bar chart shows every possible number and how many times it appeared, while the hot/cold panels highlight the extremes.
Understanding the Jackpot Trend Chart
For 6-number lotto games (6/42, 6/45, 6/49, 6/55, 6/58), the jackpot trend chart shows how the prize pool has moved over your selected time range. When no one wins, the jackpot rolls over and grows — creating the dramatic upward slopes you'll often see.
Sharp drops indicate a jackpot was won and the prize reset to its guaranteed minimum. These patterns help you spot the current cycle: is the jackpot building toward a peak, or has it just reset? While timing your play doesn't change your odds of winning, many players prefer to buy tickets when jackpots are higher to maximize the potential return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are hot numbers more likely to win?
No. Each draw is independent — past results don't influence future ones. Hot/cold analysis is a tool for informed picking, not a prediction system.
Q: How far back does the data go?
Free analysis covers the last 30 draws (~1 month). For deeper analysis covering 60, 90 draws, or a custom date range, upgrade to Premium in the Kuyacoco app.
Q: Why do some numbers appear way more than others?
In small samples (7–30 draws), variance is normal. Over hundreds of draws, frequencies tend to even out. That's basic probability at work — streaks and droughts are expected, not anomalies.
Q: Does Kuyacoco predict winning numbers?
No. We provide historical data and statistical tools so you can analyze patterns yourself. No one can reliably predict random lottery outcomes.
Q: What's the difference between website and app statistics?
The website offers free monthly frequency analysis. The Kuyacoco app adds extended date ranges, a draw simulator, number-vs-history checker, and a lucky number generator with multiple strategies.
