How 6/49 Super Lotto Works
Super Lotto 6/49 uses the classic 6-from-49 format played by national lotteries worldwide — pick six numbers from 1 to 49, with 13,983,816 possible combinations. It's the reasonable middle ground in PCSO's line-up: a jackpot large enough to be life-changing, without the extreme odds of 6/55 or 6/58.
It draws three times a week — Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 9:00 PM Philippine time. Each ticket costs ₱25 per combination. The jackpot starts at ₱16,000,000 and rolls over each draw without a jackpot winner.
At 1 in 14 million, the jackpot odds are roughly three times better than 6/58. This makes 6/49 one of the better value propositions among the six-ball games — the starting pot is lower, but the pot per unit of odds is actually comparable.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does 6/49 Super Lotto draw?
Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 9:00 PM Philippine time.
How much is a 6/49 ticket?
₱25 per six-number combination, manually chosen or via Lucky Pick.
What is the starting jackpot for 6/49?
The Super Lotto jackpot starts at ₱16,000,000 and rolls over with each draw that has no jackpot winner.
Is 6/49 easier to win than 6/58 or 6/55?
Significantly. The jackpot odds are 1 in 13,983,816 — roughly 3x better than 6/58 (1 in 40.5M) and 2x better than 6/55 (1 in 29M). Same ₱25 ticket price for all three.
Why is the 6/49 format so common worldwide?
The 6-from-49 combination (used by Canada's Lotto 6/49, Germany's Lotto, UK's original National Lottery, and many others) strikes a balance between jackpot odds long enough to build large pots and short enough that winners occur regularly. PCSO adopted the same proven format.
Does the order of numbers matter?
No. Like all PCSO six-ball games, your numbers can match the draw in any order.
What are the odds of winning any prize in 6/49?
About 1 in 46 — meaning roughly 1 in every 46 tickets wins something, from the ₱20 consolation (3-number match) up to the jackpot.
How do I claim a 6/49 prize?
Prizes up to ₱10,000 at any outlet, up to ₱100,000 at PCSO branch offices, above ₱100,000 at the PCSO main office. A valid government ID and the original winning ticket are required. See our claiming guide.

6/49 Super Lotto Tips for Players
- Best odds-to-jackpot ratio. Among the five six-ball games, 6/49 offers arguably the best balance of winnable odds and worthwhile jackpot. The ₱16M minimum is still life-changing, and the odds are 3x better than 6/58.
- Compare across the week. 6/49 draws on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday — filling the gaps left by 6/55's Mon/Wed/Sat schedule. Together they cover six nights.
- The 6-from-49 format is the most analyzed lottery format in the world. Decades of statistical analysis exist for this exact combination space. None of it will help you predict the next draw, but it helps you understand the mathematics behind the game.
- Consolation prizes add up. Matching 3 of 6 happens roughly once per 57 tickets. The ₱20 prize barely covers the ₱25 ticket, but it's a tangible result — most 6/49 winners are in this tier.

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.
