Loto 6 Jackpot Carryover Surges to 480 Million Yen After Unclaimed Top Prize
Mizuho Bank has released the official results for the 2,092nd Loto 6 draw held on April 9, 2026. The announcement confirms that no participants matched all six primary numbers, causing the jackpot to roll over. This has pushed the current carryover fund to a substantial 480,712,171 yen, a development that typically increases consumer participation and ticket sales in subsequent draws.
The winning numbers for the session were 08, 13, 27, 36, 37, and 43, with 03 serving as the bonus number. Whereas the top-tier prize remained unclaimed, the draw saw a significant number of winners across the lower prize brackets. Six individuals secured the second prize, each receiving 12,644,000 yen. The third prize of 310,300 yen was awarded to 264 winners, while 11,718 participants won 7,300 yen for the fourth prize. The fifth prize, valued at 1,000 yen, was claimed by 181,007 participants.
The Loto 6 system requires players to select six distinct numbers from a pool of 1 to 43. Under standard conditions, the theoretical maximum for a first-prize payout is 200 million yen; although, when a carryover is in effect, the potential jackpot can escalate to as high as 600 million yen. This accumulation mechanism underscores the high-volatility nature of these lottery-based financial products.
Prize claims are generally valid for one year, beginning from the payment start date of April 10, 2026. Further details regarding the Loto 6 draw results and prize distributions are available, and users can track further updates via Google News.
