Updates on PCSO

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is a unique government owned and controlled corporation. Its funds do not come from taxes but from the ticket sales of PCSO products such as lotto, lotto express (Keno), sweepstakes, small town lottery, Bingo Milyonaryo and instant lotto. Whatever money comes into its coffers becomes government money and, hence, must be taken care of extraordinarily.

Most of its customers are ordinary people. Some are enticed by the cash prizes but many only want to help. For every peso paid to PCSO, 55% goes to the Prize Fund, 30% goes to the Charity Fund and 15% goes to the Operating Fund. Its savings also go to charity.
