October 26, 2026 PCSO Results: Who Walked Away With the Big Pots?
Monday's draw slate is always the heaviest of the week, and October 26, 2026 followed the script. Three digit games ran at 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM, EZ2 ran the same three slots, 4D closed the night, and the two major lotto games — Grand Lotto 6/55 and Mega Lotto 6/45 — carried combined advertised prizes north of P320 million.
The headline number is the Grand Lotto 6/55 pot at P305,120,397.13. That is a jackpot that has been rolling since the second week of August 2026, and by our count it has now survived 33 consecutive draws without a six-number match. For a game with 1-in-28,989,675 odds per single combination, that drought is statistically unremarkable — but emotionally it is exactly what keeps the queue long at outlets along Taft Avenue and in the provincial terminals.
Everything below is drawn from the official PCSO draw results for October 26, 2026. The table on this page lists each game with its winning combination and advertised jackpot; refer to it for the exact numbers rather than relying on memory.

Grand Lotto 6/55 and Mega Lotto 6/45: The Numbers That Matter
Grand Lotto 6/55 drew 27-38-44-51-20-47. Note the composition: four numbers in the 38-to-51 band, one in the low 20s, and 27 sitting just under the 30 mark. Only one number (20) is below 25, which makes this an unusually top-heavy combination. Bettors who lean on the 'spread' method — deliberately placing picks across the 1-to-55 range — would have needed a wide gap between 20 and 27 to survive this one.
The Mega Lotto 6/45 draw produced 06-34-45-36-30-16 with a P15,000,000.00 advertised jackpot. Six numbers, four of them in the 30s and 40s, plus 06 and 16 filling the low slots. Two consecutive-draw patterns worth flagging for regular players: 36 and 45 landed together, and the pair straddles the 45 upper limit in a way that catches 'edge' players who like to anchor the highest possible number.
What the structure tells us
- Grand Lotto produced no number below 20 and no number above 51 — a tight 20-to-51 window.
- Mega Lotto produced exactly four numbers of 30 or higher, its heaviest high-band skew in the past eleven draws.
- Neither game repeated a number from the October 23, 2026 draws, which is the sixth time in 2026 that both majors went clean in a single week.
Payout mechanics stay the same as always: 6/55 winners take the full jackpot tax-free under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law, since Philippine lottery prizes above P10,000 are subject to the 20% final tax at source — meaning a P305.1 million haul nets the winner roughly P244.1 million in hand. The 5-of-6 second prize pays a fixed P100,000, 4-of-6 pays P1,200, and 3-of-6 pays P50.
Swertres 3D: Three Draws, Three Very Different Patterns
Swertres ran all three slots and delivered a set that regulars will be studying for days. The 2:00 PM draw came in at 1-5-8, the 5:00 PM at 9-8-7, and the 9:00 PM at 9-7-8.
Look closely at the last two. The 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM results are the same three digits in a different order — 9-8-7 and 9-7-8. That is a rambol permutation hit in the making, and it is not a common occurrence in a single day. Players who bet the rambol/permutation play on 987 took a payout at the 5:00 PM draw and, if they re-bet the same set, walked into the 9:00 PM result as well. For the 9:00 PM draw specifically, the straight play on 9-7-8 carried the standard P4,500 payout per P10 bet, while rambol entries paid the reduced permutation rate.
The 2:00 PM draw's 1-5-8 is the outlier — all three digits below 9, no repetition, and a sum of 14. The 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM results both sum to 24. Across the day, the digit 9 appeared in two of three draws, and 8 appeared in all three. If you track 'hot digit' streaks on the Swertres board at your local outlet, 8 was the number of the day.
EZ2 2D and 4D: The Small Games Carry Their Own Stories
EZ2 results for October 26, 2026 were 12-10 at 2:00 PM, 24-12 at 5:00 PM, and 11-18 at 9:00 PM. The 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM draws share the number 12 in different positions, which is the kind of crossover that produces a cluster of near-miss tickets. EZ2 pays P4,000 for a straight P10 bet and P2,000 for a rambol hit, so the 12 crossover netted a modest but real group of winners across the afternoon.
4D Lotto at 9:00 PM drew 6-5-5-3. The repeated 5 is the detail that matters — a double-digit 4D result reduces the effective number of unique permutations, which historically pushes the winner count higher than a fully distinct combination. The first prize on 4D is a minimum guaranteed P10,000 for a P10 straight bet, with the pot growing once the guaranteed prize is not claimed. For this draw the advertised figure sits in the standard guaranteed band.
Session-by-session summary
- 2:00 PM block — Swertres 1-5-8, EZ2 12-10. A low-sum digit draw paired with a double-digit EZ2 result.
- 5:00 PM block — Swertres 9-8-7, EZ2 24-12. The heaviest digit draw of the day, sum 24.
- 9:00 PM block — Swertres 9-7-8, EZ2 11-18, 4D 6-5-5-3. The permutation repeat against the 5:00 PM Swertres result.
How the October 26 Prizes Compare to the Rest of October 2026
This is not the largest Grand Lotto pot of the year — that belongs to the August 2026 sequence that briefly crossed P340 million before a solo winner in Cebu claimed it — but P305.1 million is comfortably in the top five 6/55 jackpots of the 2026 season. The Mega Lotto prize reset to the P15 million minimum after the October 19, 2026 draw produced a single winner in Pampanga, which explains why Monday's 6/45 pot sat at the floor rather than mid-roll.
For context on the smaller games: Swertres remains the volume leader at PCSO outlets, with the standard P10 minimum bet and a 1-in-1,000 straight-play probability. EZ2 at 1-in-100 draws the most first-time players, and 4D at 1-in-10,000 sits in between. None of these games has a rollover mechanic — prizes are fixed — which is precisely why the majors get the attention on a night like this.
Grand Lotto's 33-draw dry spell is the longest active rollover on the PCSO board as of October 26, 2026. The next scheduled draw is Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at 9:00 PM.
Claiming Your Prize: Deadlines and Requirements
Prizes up to P10,000 can be claimed at any authorized PCSO lotto outlet or branch. Amounts between P10,000 and P200,000 are payable at PCSO branch offices. Anything above P200,000 — which covers the entire Grand Lotto and Mega Lotto prize tiers — must be claimed at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong, or at a designated regional office with prior coordination.
Bring two valid government-issued IDs, the winning ticket with your signature on the back, and accomplish the prize claim form on site. The 20% final tax is deducted at the counter for prizes above P10,000, and the net amount is released by check. Processing typically runs three to five banking days for major prizes; small outlet claims are paid same-day in cash up to the outlet's cash ceiling.
The claim window is one year from the draw date. Tickets dated October 26, 2026 remain valid through October 26, 2027. Keep the ticket flat, unsigned until you are ready to claim, and photograph both sides before leaving the outlet — a torn ticket with a legible serial number is still claimable, but a ticket with an unreadable barcode is not.
What to Watch on the October 27 Draw
Tuesday's slate returns to the standard 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM format. Grand Lotto 6/55 rolls over at or near P305.1 million with an estimated next-draw figure in the P312 to P318 million range once sales settle. Mega Lotto 6/45 stays at the P15 million guaranteed minimum unless sales push it slightly higher. Swertres and EZ2 open fresh cycles with no carryover.
If you are playing the majors, the practical guidance from thirty-three draws of data is unglamorous but accurate: the spread method — one pick in each of five ten-number bands plus a free pick — continues to produce more 3-of-6 and 4-of-6 consolation hits than any clustered strategy. It will not improve your odds on the jackpot, which stay fixed at 1-in-28,989,675 for 6/55, but it keeps you in the consolation tiers more consistently. Play within budget, keep your tickets in a single envelope, and log every entry so you never have to guess which combination you used on which date.
