MANILA, Philippines — Lottery players can expect bigger prizes beginning Sunday, February 1, 2026, as the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) officially increases the minimum jackpot and consolation prizes across all its major lotto games.
In an announcement, PCSO said the updated prize structure aims to make every draw more exciting and give each ticket greater life-changing potential from the start.
“Starting February 1, lottery enthusiasts nationwide can look forward to significantly higher minimum jackpot prizes across all major games, ensuring that every ticket holds even more life-changing potential from the very first draw,” the agency said.
Under the new scheme, minimum jackpot prizes will rise to:
- Lotto 6/42 – ₱10 million (from ₱6 million)
- Mega Lotto 6/45 – ₱15 million (from ₱9 million)
- Super Lotto 6/49 – ₱25 million (from ₱16 million)
- Grand Lotto 6/55 – ₱45 million (from ₱30 million)
- Ultra Lotto 6/58 – ₱75 million (from ₱50 million)
The PCSO clarified that the progressive jackpot system remains unchanged, meaning the prize will continue to grow if no bettor matches all six winning numbers.
PCSO General Manager Mel Robles said the higher starting jackpots are part of the agency’s efforts to make each draw more rewarding for players.
“If no winner is declared, the jackpot continues to increase, reaching even more substantial amounts until a lucky player wins,” Robles explained.
Bigger consolation prizes
Aside from the jackpots, consolation prizes for players who match five (5) or four (4) numbers will also increase.
“Simula February 1, 2026, hindi na lang jackpot ang milyon—pati consolation prizes, pinalaki na rin,” PCSO said.
For instance, in Lotto 6/42, the consolation prize is now at least ₱1 million for four winning numbers, to be shared equally among all winners. Similar adjustments will apply across other lotto games under the new prize matrix.
| Lotto Game | Winning Numbers | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| Lotto 6/42 | 5 | Php 1.1 Million |
| 4 | Php 1.0 Million | |
| Mega Lotto 6/45 | 5 | Php 1.2 Million |
| 4 | Php 1.1 Million | |
| Super Lotto 6/49 | 5 | Php 1.3 Million |
| 4 | Php 1.2 Million | |
| Grand Lotto 6/55 | 5 | Php 1.4 Million |
| 4 | Php 1.3 Million | |
| Ultra Lotto 6/58 | 5 | Php 1.5 Million |
| 4 | Php 1.4 Million |
New ticket price
Alongside the prize increases, PCSO announced a ticket price adjustment. From ₱20 per standard play, lotto tickets will now cost ₱25.
Schedule of PCSO lotto draws
Here is the updated schedule of major lotto games held by PCSO from Monday to Sunday.
| Major Lotto | Schedule |

| Lotto 6/42 | Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday |
| MegaLotto 6/45 | Monday, Wednesday and Friday |
| SuperLotto 6/49 | Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday |

According to the agency, the change offers a better risk-to-reward balance for players while helping boost funds for PCSO’s charitable programs.
“These higher starting jackpots reflect our commitment to keeping the games exciting while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our charitable initiatives,” Robles said.
He emphasized that every ticket purchase contributes to PCSO’s mission of funding health, medical assistance, and social welfare programs for millions of Filipinos.
“Every ticket purchased is not just a chance to win; it’s a contribution to the nation’s welfare,” he added.
