How to Claim a PCSO Lotto Prize
Where to claim, what to bring, the deadline and the tax — the same rules apply to every PCSO game.
Where to claim
- •Up to ₱10,000 — claimed at any authorised PCSO outlet, or at a PCSO branch office.
- •₱10,001 to ₱300,000 — claimed at a PCSO branch office in the winner's region.
- •Above ₱300,000 — claimed at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City.
What to bring
A claim requires the winning ticket itself and a valid government-issued ID. A ticket is a bearer instrument, so signing the back protects the holder.
Deadline
Prizes are claimable for one year from the draw date. After that they are forfeited.
Tax on winnings
Prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% final tax under the TRAIN law. Amounts shown here are before tax.
What the odds mean
These odds are fixed by the mechanics of the game and are the same for every draw, every ticket and every set of numbers. Nothing you can do changes them: no number is "due", no pattern is warmer than another, and buying the same numbers every week does not improve your chances. Odds are calculated here directly from the number of possible combinations.
