PCSO LOTTO – The implementation of higher minimum jackpot prizes drove a 38-percent surge in Lotto sales, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) reported Monday.
Total sales from February 1 to 7 reached ₱413 million, up from ₱299 million during the same period last year.

The number of Lotto tickets sold also rose 10.7 percent year-on-year, signaling growing public interest in life-changing prizes.
PCSO attributed the surge to the new prize structure, which allows players to compete for higher jackpots from the very first draw.
“The strong growth in Lotto sales shows that higher minimum jackpots resonate with the public,” said PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles, emphasizing fairness and transparency in the system.
He added that increased participation reflects confidence in the integrity of the Philippine lottery system.
Robles also noted that higher ticket sales directly support PCSO’s mission to fund health, medical, and social welfare programs nationwide.
“More tickets sold mean more resources for medical assistance and social services that benefit Filipinos in need,” he explained.
Under the updated structure, the minimum jackpot prize for Lotto 6/42 is ₱10 million; Mega Lotto 6/45, ₱15 million; Super Lotto 6/49, ₱25 million; Grand Lotto 6/55, ₱45 million; and Ultra Lotto 6/58, ₱75 million.
The ticket price increased slightly from ₱20 to ₱25 per standard play, which PCSO says balances risk and reward while generating more funds for social programs.
The new prize system forms part of PCSO’s ongoing efforts to modernize Lotto games and align them with international standards while keeping them exciting and rewarding.
