October Opens with Two Rollovers and a Shifting Playbook
The first draw night of October 2026 delivered exactly what seasoned PCSO followers expected: no grand prize winner in either the Superlotto 6/49 or the Lotto 6/42. But the numbers behind those rollovers tell a more interesting story. The Lotto 6/42 jackpot now sits at a staggering ₱71,399,823.97—the highest we've seen since the summer. Meanwhile, Superlotto 6/49 climbed to ₱30,902,608.81, a figure that's been creeping upward for three consecutive draws.
What changed this season? For one, the frequency of small-tier winners in the 3D and 2D games. The 9PM 3D draw alone produced 612 winners at ₱4,500 each—a sharp spike compared to the 2PM and 5PM sessions. That's not random noise; it suggests more bettors are gravitating toward evening draws, possibly because of the bigger rollover buzz. We'll dig into that pattern and what it means for your own number selection.
Below, you'll find the complete October 1, 2026 results in the table. We'll then break down each game, highlight the key takeaways, and offer smart picks for the coming draws. Whether you're a daily 2D player or a once-a-week jackpot chaser, there's something here for you.
| Game | Winning combination | Jackpot (PHP) | Winners |
|---|---|---|---|

| Lotto 6/42 | 40-13-35-10-15-14 | 71,399,823.97 | 0 |

Full PCSO Lotto Results for October 1, 2026
The table above (or below, depending on your device) lists every official draw from October 1, 2026. The data comes straight from the PCSO's verified results, so you can trust it for claiming prizes or tracking your numbers.
A quick glance shows that the two major lotto games—Superlotto 6/49 and Lotto 6/42—both ended with zero jackpot winners. The 6D Lotto also had no taker for its ₱593,359.76 prize. However, the digit games (3D and 2D) were generous, especially in the evening sessions.
If you're new to reading PCSO result tables, here's the key: the combination column shows the winning numbers in the order they were drawn. For 3D and 2D, the order matters for the exact match, but PCSO also pays for permutations in some cases (check the official rules). The jackpot column shows the prize for a single winner in the top tier; for digit games, it's the fixed payout per winning bet. The winners column tells you how many tickets hit that top prize.
Superlotto 6/49: Jackpot Inches Toward ₱31 Million
The Superlotto 6/49 draw on October 1 produced the combination 39-03-43-04-42-15. No one matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over to ₱30,902,608.81. This is the third consecutive draw without a grand prize winner, and the prize pool has grown by roughly ₱1.5 million since late September.
What's notable about this combination? It mixes low and high numbers fairly evenly: three numbers below 20 (03, 04, 15) and three above 39 (39, 42, 43). That's a classic spread that many seasoned bettors aim for. The sum is 146, which falls within the most common sum range (100–160) for 6/49 games. If you've been playing purely random quick picks, you might want to consider balancing your picks similarly.
Another observation: the number 39 appeared in the previous week's draw as well, making it a repeat. In 6/49, a number repeating within two draws happens about 12% of the time, so it's not extraordinary, but it's worth noting if you track hot numbers. The number 43 had been absent for 15 draws before hitting on October 1—a classic cold number that finally broke through.
With the jackpot now at ₱30.9 million, the next draw is likely to attract more players. Our smart pick for the next Superlotto draw: consider including one or two numbers from the 30s and 40s, as that's where the last draw clustered. But don't ignore the teens; the 10s–20s range has been underrepresented in the last five draws.
Lotto 6/42: A Whopping ₱71.4 Million Awaits
The Lotto 6/42 draw on October 1 yielded the combination 40-13-35-10-15-14. Zero winners meant the jackpot ballooned to ₱71,399,823.97—the largest we've seen in this game for 2026. This is a major development because the 6/42 jackpot had been stuck below ₱60 million for most of the third quarter.
Analyzing the winning combination: it's heavily weighted toward the teens and low 30s. The numbers are 10, 13, 14, 15, 35, and 40. Notice the cluster 13-14-15—three consecutive numbers. In 6/42, consecutive triplets are rare, occurring less than 2% of the time. So this draw was unusual in that respect. The sum is 127, which is slightly above the average for 6/42 (average sum is around 129).
The presence of 40 is interesting because it's the highest number in the game. It had been drawn only twice in the last 30 draws, so it was due. Meanwhile, 13 and 14 are both mid-range numbers that had been performing steadily.
With ₱71.4 million on the line, the next Lotto 6/42 draw is going to be massive. Expect long queues at lotto outlets and a surge in ticket sales. If you're planning to join, here are a few smart picks: consider including 40 again (numbers can repeat), and keep an eye on the 20s range, which has been quiet for the last three draws. Also, don't shy away from consecutive numbers—they do happen.
6D Lotto: No Winner for ₱593K Prize
The 6D Lotto draw on October 1 gave us the combination 0-5-9-3-4-8. The jackpot stood at ₱593,359.76, but no one matched all six digits in exact order. This game is known for its tough odds (1 in 1,000,000), so rollovers are common. The prize will continue to grow until someone hits it.
What's interesting about this combination? It contains all different digits—no repeats. That's actually less common than you might think; about 40% of 6D draws have at least one repeated digit. The numbers are spread across the range: 0, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9. Notice the gap at 1, 2, 6, 7. If you're playing 6D, you might want to consider including a 1 or 2 in your next ticket, as those digits have been cold.
Since there was no winner, the 6D jackpot will carry over to the next draw. For those who enjoy the thrill of a big-digit game, this is a good opportunity. Just remember: the odds are steep, so play responsibly.
3D Lotto: Evening Draw Steals the Show with 612 Winners
The 3D Lotto results for October 1 are a tale of three sessions. The 2PM draw (7-4-6) had 132 winners, the 5PM draw (0-3-2) had 73 winners, and the 9PM draw (4-2-9) exploded with 612 winners. Each winner took home ₱4,500.
Why the huge disparity? The 9PM combination 4-2-9 is a permutation-friendly set. In 3D Lotto, you can win by exact order or by any order (if you play the 'rambol' option). The numbers 4, 2, and 9 are all distinct, so there are six possible permutations. Many bettors play rambol, so when the draw produces three different digits, the number of winners tends to be higher. In contrast, the 5PM draw had 0-3-2, which also has distinct digits, but fewer people picked those numbers.
The 2PM draw had a moderate 132 winners, likely because 7-4-6 is a less popular combination. The lesson here: if you want to maximize your chances of sharing a prize (and you don't mind splitting), playing rambol on distinct digits can lead to more frequent wins. But if you prefer exact order, the payouts are higher but wins are rarer.
For the next 3D draws, consider looking at recent trends. The digit 4 appeared in both the 2PM and 9PM draws, showing it's hot. The digit 0 appeared in the 5PM draw, but it's been generally cold. A smart pick might blend one hot digit (4) with two cold ones (1 and 8).
2D Lotto: Consistent Payouts Across All Sessions
The 2D Lotto games on October 1 offered steady action. The 2PM draw (14-09) had 139 winners, the 5PM draw (24-15) had 65 winners, and the 9PM draw (23-21) had 93 winners. Each winner received ₱4,000.
The 2D game is simpler: you pick two numbers from 1 to 31. The winning combinations here are all in the 9–24 range. Notice that 14-09 includes a single-digit number (09), while the others are all double-digit. The 5PM draw 24-15 had the fewest winners—perhaps because 24 and 15 aren't as commonly picked together. The 9PM draw 23-21 is interesting because both numbers are in the 20s, which is a less frequent pattern.
If you're a 2D regular, you might want to consider mixing high and low numbers. The 2PM combination did that with 14 and 09. Also, keep an eye on the number 14—it appeared in the 2PM draw and has been drawn frequently in recent weeks. The number 9 is also worth noting; it showed up as 09.
What Changed This Season: Trends to Watch in October 2026
October 2026 is shaping up to be a month of big jackpots and shifting player behavior. Compared to September, we're seeing three key changes:
- Jackpot sizes are surging. The Lotto 6/42 is now over ₱71 million, and Superlotto 6/49 is at ₱30.9 million. This is a stark contrast to early September when both games were below ₱20 million. The longer rollovers go, the more media attention they get, which in turn draws more players.
- Evening draws are more popular. The 9PM 3D draw had 612 winners, far more than the 2PM and 5PM sessions. This could be because more people are playing after work, or because the 9PM draw is perceived as the 'main' draw. If you want to avoid splitting prizes, you might try the 2PM or 5PM sessions instead.
- Number patterns are diversifying. In the major lotto games, we saw a mix of hot and cold numbers. The 6/42 draw had three consecutive numbers (13-14-15), which is rare. The 6/49 draw had a repeat from the previous week (39). This suggests that relying solely on hot or cold numbers isn't enough; a balanced approach is better.
Another change: the PCSO has been promoting responsible gaming more aggressively in 2026. You'll see reminders at outlets and online. It's a good reminder that lotto is entertainment, not a financial plan.
Smart Picks for the Next Draws (October 2–3, 2026)
Based on the October 1 results and recent trends, here are some smart pick suggestions for the next draws. Remember, these are not guarantees—just informed ideas to help you choose numbers.
Superlotto 6/49
- Hot numbers: 39 (repeat), 43 (just appeared), 15 (appeared in both 6/49 and 6/42).
- Cold numbers: 01, 08, 22, 31—these haven't shown up in the last 10 draws.
- Smart pick: Mix two hot numbers with two cold ones, and include a number from the 30s. Example: 08-15-22-31-39-43.
Lotto 6/42
- Hot numbers: 40, 14, 15, 13—all from the last draw.
- Cold numbers: 02, 06, 19, 28, 33—absent for a while.
- Smart pick: Consider including 40 again, plus a couple of cold numbers. Example: 02-13-19-28-40-42.
3D Lotto
- Look for digits that are due: 1, 6, 8 have been cold. Combine with a hot digit like 4. Example: 4-1-8.
2D Lotto
- Numbers 14 and 09 are hot. Pair one hot with one cold (e.g., 14-27).
As always, play within your budget. The thrill of the draw is fun, but it should never compromise your essentials.
