PCSO launched E-Lotto’s website
PCSO — The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office has officially started the pilot test of E-Lotto, the digital version of its lottery games.
Its E-Lotto is currently available on their website, but the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said that it is eyeing to launch a mobile application version of E-Lotto “soon”.
E-Lotto is a digital lottery platform of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office that is targeted to make betting accessible and convenient for Filipinos.
In a media briefing, PCSO General Manager Mel Robles told reporters that the sales of PCSO went down dramatically during the pandemic because there was no option but to go to the stores and that’s one of the reasons why they would like to launch the digital lottery platform.
Robles also said that they have an option should anything happen, adding that its digital lottery platform will help them generate revenues.
“This is one of the reasons why we would like to launch this. Should anything happen, at least may option tayo kasi ang kawanggawa po hindi pwedeng maghintay at di pwede ipagpaliban. Kailangan namin to continuously generate funds,” Robles said.

According to the PCSO, it is expecting its projected sales to increase to up to PHP 70 billion next year with the release of the E-Lotto.
Bettors who want to register to PCSO E-Lotto must be 18 years old and above and must need a local mobile number and a government-issued ID in order to register to the digital lottery platform.
Also, bettors may use digital wallets such as GCash in order to top-up credits for the digital lotto system. Bettors may also receive prizes electronically as well.
Meanwhile, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes raised the combined jackpot prize of 6/55 Grand Lotto and 6/58 Ultra Lotto games to PHP 1 billion starting December 16, 2023.
