Yes. PCSO suspends selling and draws from Maundy Thursday to Black Saturday every year and resumes on Easter Sunday. Other suspensions, for example during a severe typhoon, are announced by advisory. Days with no draw are marked "No draw" on the results pages.

The draw is streamed on the PCSO YouTube channel and carried on IBC-13 and D8TV at 9 PM. The Live page on this site shows each number seconds after it is drawn.

One play of any 6-number jackpot game costs ₱25. One play of 2D, 3D, 4D or 6D Lotto costs ₱10.

Rambolito is a way of playing 2D and 3D Lotto where your digits win in any order instead of the exact order. It pays less than a Standard play: ₱2,000 in 2D Lotto; in 3D Lotto ₱750 when all three digits differ (six combinations) or ₱1,500 when two are the same (three combinations). You cannot play Rambolito with three identical digits.

A System play lets you pick more than six numbers in a jackpot game, for example System 7 to System 12. The ticket covers every six-number combination of your picks and costs ₱25 per combination, so a System 7 costs ₱175 and a System 12 costs ₱23,100.

Lucky Pick asks the terminal to choose your numbers at random. It has exactly the same odds as numbers you choose yourself.

Ultra Lotto 6/58: 1 in 40,475,358. Grand Lotto 6/55: 1 in 28,989,675. Super Lotto 6/49: 1 in 13,983,816. Mega Lotto 6/45: 1 in 8,145,060. Lotto 6/42: 1 in 5,245,786. Every draw is independent; no number is ever "due".

No. There is currently no legal way to buy PCSO tickets online. The PCSO e-Lotto platform was suspended in July 2024 and its operator withdrew in February 2026. Any website or app offering to sell you a PCSO ticket is not authorised.

Not yet. Scratch-It cards have no draw to report. Small Town Lottery (STL) draws are run regionally by separate operators and are not on the national broadcast, so they are outside what this site can verify today.

Prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% final tax, deducted before you are paid. Prizes of ₱10,000 and below are tax free. A ₱4,500 Swertres win is paid in full; a ₱150,000 6D first prize pays ₱120,000.

Up to ₱10,000: any authorised lotto outlet. ₱10,001 to ₱300,000: a PCSO branch office. Above ₱300,000, including all jackpots: the PCSO Main Office, 2nd Floor, Sun Plaza Building, Shaw Boulevard corner Princeton Street, Mandaluyong City.

The original ticket, undamaged, signed on the back, and two valid government IDs. Taxed prizes also need your TIN. Jackpots are paid by cheque after validation.

One year from the draw date. Unclaimed prizes go to the PCSO charity fund. You must be at least 18 to buy a ticket or claim a prize.

Since February 2026 the 5-of-6 and 4-of-6 prizes in the jackpot games are pooled: a guaranteed pool is shared equally among everyone who matched that many numbers, so the amount per winner changes every draw. 3 of 6 pays a fixed amount per game (₱20 in 6/42 up to ₱100 in 6/58). This site shows the actual per-winner amounts once PCSO publishes the breakdown.

Each result page says how many jackpot winners there were and, when nobody won, that the jackpot rolls over. The Jackpots page shows the current amount for every game.

No. LottoResulta is independent and not affiliated with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. We read the numbers PCSO announces, from the live broadcast and from independent publishers, and label how well each result is corroborated.

Yes, unless the page says otherwise. A result is published once independent publishers of the PCSO announcement agree with each other, or agree with what we read from the live broadcast. In the first hour after a draw the numbers may come only from the broadcast, and the page says so in a line under them until a publisher confirms it. We never call a result "official"; only PCSO can.

Open Check my ticket, choose the game and draw, type your numbers and how you played (Standard, Rambolito, System or 5R). It tells you the prize and the amount after tax. Always have a winning ticket validated at an outlet before assuming anything.

The jackpot games (6/42, 6/45, 6/49, 6/55, 6/58) and 3D Lotto go back to January 2016. 2D Lotto, 4D and 6D go back to September 2023, which is as far as any free source reaches. Every game has a month-by-month calendar and a searchable history.
