Manila: The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has announced an increase in jackpot prizes across all major lotto games, effective February 1.
According to Philippines News Agency, the revised prize structure sets the minimum jackpot for Lotto 6/42 at PHP10 million, Mega Lotto 6/45 at PHP15 million, Super Lotto 6/49 at PHP25 million, Grand Lotto 6/55 at PHP45 million, and Ultra Lotto 6/58 at PHP75 million. If no winner is declared in a draw, the jackpot will continue to accumulate until a player correctly guesses all six numbers.
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles stated that the higher starting jackpots are part of the agency's efforts to make every draw more rewarding for players across the nation. The enhancements include an adjustment in ticket prices aimed at offering players a more competitive "risk-to-reward" ratio.
The increased participation driven by these larger jackpots is expected to expand the funds generated for the PCSO's mission of providing health, medical assistance, and social welfare programs to millions of Filipinos. "Every ticket purchased is not just a chance to win. It's a contribution to the nation's welfare," Robles emphasized in a news release.
The PCSO advises the public to play responsibly and to stay updated on draw schedules, ensuring they obtain official results only through authorized PCSO channels.
