Ahead of its 90th anniversary on Wednesday, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has increased the minimum prize of all lotto games to PHP90 million ($1.55 million).
The move encompasses Lotto 6/42, SuperLotto 6/49 as well as UltraLotto 6/58 starting from Tuesday. This will expand to MegaLotto 6/45 and GrandLotto 6/55 on Wednesday.
According to the PCSO, if the current jackpot exceeds PHP90 million on the draw dates indicated the prize amount remains unchanged. For jackpots below PHP90 million, the difference will be drawn from the PCSO’s prize fund.
The PCSO indicated that once the special jackpot prizes are won, the price amounts will revert to normal.
Speaking of the promotion, PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles noted “We are thrilled to celebrate our 90th anniversary and express our gratitude to the players who have supported us through the years. This special promotion embodies our commitment to providing not just entertainment but also hope and assistance to our communities”.
The PCSO is a government agency that holds charity sweepstakes, races and lotteries to provide continuing sources of funds for programs. Its primary products are the sweepstakes and lottery games.
Pacific Online Systems Corporation operates the application, e-lotto and digital versions of the PCSO’s lottery games.
