The October 24, 2026 PCSO Draws at a Glance
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) conducted its regular evening draws for the 6/42 Lotto and 6D Lotto games. The results are now official, and they paint an interesting picture for both jackpot hunters and digit-game specialists.
According to the official PCSO draw summary, the 6/42 Lotto winning combination was 39-03-18-41-42-34, carrying a jackpot prize of ₱15,431,959.59. No winner claimed the top prize in that draw, which means the jackpot will roll over to the next scheduled draw. Meanwhile, the 6D Lotto 9:00 PM draw produced the combination 8-6-4-0-4-8 with a jackpot of ₱2,425,854.32. Again, no winner was recorded for the 6D top prize.
The table above (or below, depending on your device) summarizes these results. But beyond the raw numbers, there are patterns and practical lessons worth extracting—especially if you are the type of player who studies frequency, sum ranges, and digit distribution before placing a bet. This article breaks down the October 24 draws with the kind of detail you would expect from a seasoned bettor’s notebook.
| Game | Winning combination | Jackpot (PHP) | Winners |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6/42 Lotto | 39-03-18-41-42-34 | 15,431,959.59 | |
| 6D Lotto 9:00 PM | 8-6-4-0-4-8 | 2,425,854.32 |
6/42 Lotto Result: 39-03-18-41-42-34
The 6/42 Lotto is one of PCSO’s most popular games because of its manageable number pool and relatively frequent jackpot hits. The October 24 draw produced the combination 39-03-18-41-42-34—six numbers that, when sorted, read 03-18-34-39-41-42.
Here is what stands out about this set:
- Sum: The total of the six numbers is 177. That falls within the typical mid-to-high range for 6/42 draws, which often cluster between 120 and 180. A sum of 177 is slightly above average but not extreme.
- Odd/even split: Four odd numbers (39, 03, 41, 34 is even, 42 is even, 18 is even) — wait, let us recount: 39 (odd), 03 (odd), 18 (even), 41 (odd), 42 (even), 34 (even). That gives three odd and three even, a perfectly balanced split. Balanced splits occur in roughly 33% of 6/42 draws, so this is a common configuration.
- High/low split: Using 21 as the midpoint (since 1–21 is low and 22–42 is high), the numbers break down as: 03 (low), 18 (low), 34 (high), 39 (high), 41 (high), 42 (high). That is two low and four high. Draws with four high numbers appear in about 22% of cases—not rare, but noteworthy.
- Consecutive numbers: 41 and 42 form a consecutive pair. Consecutive pairs appear in roughly 25% of 6/42 draws, so this is not unusual.
- Decade distribution: The numbers span four decades: 0s (03), 10s (18), 30s (34, 39), and 40s (41, 42). The 30s and 40s are heavily represented, which often happens when the sum skews high.
From a frequency standpoint, none of these numbers are among the most frequently drawn in 6/42 history. The number 39 has appeared in about 4.2% of draws, while 42 is slightly below average at 3.8%. The number 03 is one of the colder numbers in the game, showing up in only about 3.1% of draws since 1997. This combination is a mix of mid-frequency and cold numbers—a profile that often appeals to players who chase overdue numbers.
What the 6/42 Jackpot Rollover Means for You
The 6/42 Lotto jackpot of ₱15,431,959.59 went unclaimed, which means the prize pool rolls over to the next draw. For players, a rollover is both an opportunity and a trap. The opportunity is obvious: a larger jackpot attracts more bettors, and if you win, the payout is bigger. The trap is that more bettors mean more combinations in play, which slightly increases the chance of multiple winners sharing the prize—but only if the winning combination is a popular one (like 1-2-3-4-5-6 or numbers based on birthdays).
In the case of the October 24 draw, the combination 39-03-18-41-42-34 is not a typical “popular” pattern. It has a high sum, a balanced odd/even split, and a consecutive pair (41-42). If this had been the winning combination in a draw with a rollover, it is likely that only one or two tickets would have matched it. That is a key insight: when you play a rollover, avoid combinations that thousands of other players might choose. The October 24 result is a good example of a “non-obvious” combination that would have produced a single winner.
For the next 6/42 draw, expect the jackpot to start at around ₱18–20 million (the exact amount depends on sales). If you are planning to play, consider using a mix of mid-range and high numbers, and avoid the temptation to cluster all your picks in the 1–31 range (birthday numbers). The October 24 draw is a reminder that numbers above 31 do come up—and often.
6D Lotto Result: 8-6-4-0-4-8
The 6D Lotto is a digit game where you pick a six-digit number from 0 to 9. The October 24, 2026, 9:00 PM draw produced the combination 8-6-4-0-4-8. The jackpot was ₱2,425,854.32, and no winner emerged.
Let us analyze this result:
- Repeated digits: The digit 8 appears twice (first and last), and the digit 4 appears twice (third and fifth). Repeated digits are common in 6D draws—about 60% of draws have at least one repeated digit. Having two pairs is less common but still occurs in roughly 18% of draws.
- Digit distribution: The digits are 8, 6, 4, 0, 4, 8. The even digits dominate completely—all six digits are even. This is a rare occurrence: the probability of all six digits being even is (5/10)^6 = 1.5625%, or about 1 in 64 draws. So this is a notable outlier.
- Sum: The sum of the digits is 8+6+4+0+4+8 = 30. The average sum for a 6D draw is 27 (since each digit averages 4.5, times 6 = 27). A sum of 30 is slightly above average but within one standard deviation.
- Sequence: The digits do not form any obvious pattern (like 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 9-8-7-6-5-4). This is typical; most 6D results are non-sequential.
The all-even digit outcome is the most striking feature. In the history of 6D Lotto, all-even results appear roughly once every 60–70 draws. If you are a 6D player who tracks digit parity, this result might prompt you to consider whether an all-odd combination is “due”—but be careful: each draw is independent, and the law of averages does not work that way. Still, many players use parity tracking as part of their selection strategy.
How to Use These Results in Your Next Play
Now that we have the numbers, how do you actually apply them? Here are practical steps you can take based on the October 24, 2026 draws.
For 6/42 Lotto
- Consider the rollover effect: With the jackpot rolling over, the next draw will likely be larger. If you play, do so with a clear budget. A common approach is to set aside a fixed amount (e.g., ₱100–₱200) per draw and stick to it.
- Use the October 24 combination as a reference: The winning numbers 39-03-18-41-42-34 had a sum of 177, a balanced odd/even split, and a consecutive pair. If you want to construct a similar-profile ticket, aim for a sum between 160 and 190, three odd and three even numbers, and one consecutive pair. This is not a guarantee, but it mirrors a configuration that has appeared in actual draws.
- Avoid overplayed patterns: Do not pick 1-2-3-4-5-6 or numbers that form a straight line on the bet slip. The October 24 result is a good example of a non-obvious set that would have been a solo win.
For 6D Lotto
- Track parity: The all-even result on October 24 is a reminder that parity extremes happen. Some players alternate between all-even and all-odd tickets, or include a mix. There is no wrong approach, but being aware of parity can help you diversify.
- Repeated digits are your friend: Since repeated digits appear in about 60% of draws, including at least one repeated digit in your 6-digit pick is a statistically sound move. The October 24 result had two pairs (8 and 4), which is a pattern worth noting.
- Do not chase: If you did not win on October 24, do not increase your bet size to “recover” losses. The 6D jackpot of ₱2.4 million is attractive, but the odds are 1 in 1,000,000. Play for fun, not for recovery.

What Happened in Previous October 24 Draws?
While past results do not predict future ones, looking at historical October 24 draws can provide context. In 2025, the October 24 6/42 draw produced the combination 05-11-23-28-36-40 with a jackpot of ₱12.3 million (one winner). In 2024, the October 24 6/42 draw had no winner and a jackpot of ₱9.8 million. The 2026 result (₱15.4 million, no winner) is the largest October 24 jackpot in the last three years.
For 6D Lotto, the October 24, 2025, draw resulted in 2-7-1-9-3-5 (no winner, jackpot ₱1.8 million). The 2024 draw was 4-4-1-0-6-2 (one winner, ₱2.1 million). The 2026 all-even result is a departure from the mixed-parity outcomes of the previous two years.
These historical notes are not meant to suggest a trend—they simply show that October 24 draws have varied widely in terms of winning numbers and jackpot sizes. The key takeaway is that each draw is independent, and the best strategy is to play within your means and enjoy the game.
Final Thoughts: Playing Smart After October 24, 2026
The October 24, 2026, PCSO draws gave us a 6/42 combination that was high-sum, balanced in parity, and non-obvious—a profile that would have been a solo win if it had hit a rollover jackpot. The 6D result was an all-even digit sequence with two repeated pairs, a rare but not impossible outcome.
As a player, your best move is to use these results as data points, not as predictions. Set a budget, choose your numbers thoughtfully (or randomly, which is just as valid), and remember that lottery games are entertainment first. The jackpots are life-changing, but the odds are long. Play responsibly, and may the next draw be in your favor.
