October 3, 2026 Draws: Two Big Jackpots, Zero Winners
Saturday night draws are always a big deal for PCSO regulars, and October 3, 2026, was no exception. The Grand Lotto 6/55 jackpot climbed to nearly ₱243 million, while Lotto 6/42 sat at over ₱75 million. Despite the massive prizes, both games ended with zero jackpot winners — a result that will push those pots even higher for the next draw. For Filipino bettors who follow the numbers closely, this is the kind of night that keeps the excitement alive and the tickets selling.
The table above shows the complete results from that day, covering all major PCSO games. From the two big-ticket draws to the fast-paced 3D and 2D games, there’s plenty to unpack. Whether you play for the dream or for the thrill, these numbers tell a story of near-misses and small wins. Let’s break it down from a player’s perspective.
| Game | Winning combination | Jackpot (PHP) | Winners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Lotto 6/55 | 11-23-36-20-29-50 | 242,626,497.89 | 0 |
| Lotto 6/42 | 41-17-42-21-37-02 | 75,904,990.52 | 0 |
| 6D Lotto | 6-2-2-7-4-1 | 1,085,236.00 | 0 |
| 3D Lotto 2PM | 5-9-6 | 4,500.00 | 118 |
| 3D Lotto 5PM | 9-7-9 | 4,500.00 | 83 |
| 3D Lotto 9PM | 9-9-6 | 4,500.00 | 450 |
| 2D Lotto 2PM | 09-28 | 4,000.00 | 609 |
| 2D Lotto 5PM | 13-23 | 4,000.00 | 153 |

Grand Lotto 6/55: The ₱242-Million Question
The Grand Lotto 6/55 draw on October 3, 2026, produced the combination 11-23-36-20-29-50. That’s a mix of low and high numbers with a couple of consecutive pairs — 20 and 23 are close, and 29 and 36 sit in the middle range. No one matched all six, so the jackpot now stands at a staggering ₱242,626,497.89. That’s life-changing money, and with each rollover, more players are likely to join the fray.
What’s interesting here is the absence of numbers ending in 7 or 8. The combination leans heavily on numbers in the 20s and 30s, with only one number below 20 (11). Players who favor spreading their picks across the board might have been caught off guard. But that’s the lottery for you — unpredictable and full of surprises.
If you’re planning to play the next Grand Lotto draw, consider how this combination fits into your strategy. Some bettors look for patterns in recent draws, while others stick to birthdays and anniversaries. There’s no wrong way to play, but keeping an eye on rollovers can help you decide when to jump in.
Lotto 6/42: A Jackpot That Keeps Growing
Over at Lotto 6/42, the winning combination was 41-17-42-21-37-02. Again, zero winners. The jackpot now sits at ₱75,904,990.52 — not quite Grand Lotto territory, but still a fortune. This draw had a nice spread: one number in the 40s, a couple in the 30s and 20s, and a low 2. The mix of odd and even numbers (four odd, two even) might appeal to players who like balanced selections.
What stands out is the presence of 42, the highest number in the game. Many players avoid the extremes, but as this draw shows, anything can happen. The 6/42 game often plays second fiddle to its bigger cousin, but with a jackpot this size, it’s worth a second look. The odds are better than 6/55, and the prize is nothing to sneeze at.
For those tracking hot and cold numbers, 41 and 42 appearing together is a rare sight. It just goes to show that lottery draws don’t follow logic — they follow chance. If you’re a regular 6/42 player, keep at it. The next draw could be yours.
3D and 2D Lotto: Small Bets, Real Winners
While the big games rolled over, the 3D and 2D Lotto draws delivered wins to hundreds of Filipino bettors. The 3D Lotto 2PM draw came out as 5-9-6, with 118 winners taking home a fixed prize of ₱4,500 each. The 5PM draw, 9-7-9, had 83 winners. But the 9PM draw stole the show with 9-9-6, producing 450 winners — the highest among the 3D games that day.
Over in 2D Lotto, the numbers were equally interesting. The 2PM draw 09-28 had 609 winners, the most of any game on October 3. The 5PM draw 13-23 and the 9PM draw 31-24 each had over 150 winners. These games are popular because of their frequent draws and straightforward mechanics. You pick two or three numbers, and if they match the drawn combination in exact order, you win. The payouts are smaller, but the odds are much better than the jackpot games.
For players who enjoy quick results, the 3D and 2D games offer plenty of action. The table above shows the full breakdown, including the number of winners for each draw. It’s a good reminder that even when the big jackpots don’t hit, there are still plenty of chances to win.
What This Means for Your Next Bet
With both Grand Lotto and Lotto 6/42 rolling over, the next draws will be even more enticing. The Grand Lotto jackpot is inching closer to the ₱250 million mark, and the 6/42 prize is well over ₱75 million. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to play, this might be it. But remember, lottery is a game of chance. Play responsibly and within your means.
Looking at the numbers from October 3, a few trends emerge. In Grand Lotto, the 20s and 30s dominated. In Lotto 6/42, the 40s made a strong showing. For 3D, the number 9 appeared multiple times, especially in the 9PM draw. These patterns are just for fun — they don’t predict future results. But many bettors enjoy analyzing them.
If you’re planning to buy tickets for the next draw, consider mixing your numbers. Avoid relying solely on birthdays or lucky numbers. Some players use system plays or multiple combinations to increase their chances. Whatever you choose, make sure it adds to the excitement, not the stress.
