A lottery bettor won 20 times within 1 month, according to Senator Raffy Tulfo
RAFFY TULFO – The senator said that there is a lottery bettor who won 20 times in just one month, and there’s also another bettor who won 10 times in the same span.
This information is supposedly based on the list provided by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) of lottery winners. “Yung PCSO nagbigay ho sa akin ng listahan…Ito nga po ang sabi ko medyo nakakataas ng kilay, meron doon na isang tao nanalo ng 20 times in one month. Meron dun 10 times in one month,” Tulfo said in an interview with Dobol B TV on Tuesday.
“Siguro baka magkapangalan pero still pare-pareho ‘yung premyo ang pinanalunan…Paulit-ulit in one month… Lalong tumambak ang mga question,” the senator continued.
Tulfo is leading an investigation by a Senate committee regarding the integrity of lottery draw results. Aside from the list of winners, the PCSO also submitted other documents to the committee concerning lottery games and tax records.
“Bakit tuwing draw, may nananalo na? Ngayon, walang mintis. Samantalang nu’ng panahon na wala pa tong e-lotto, ang tagal bago mapanalunan. Inaabot ng isang buwan, dalawang buwan,” Tulfo pointed out.
PCSO General Manager Mel Robles, in an interview with Dobol B TV, stated that they would investigate Senator Tulfo’s observations regarding multiple wins in the lottery. Robles admitted that he personally didn’t look into such matters but assured that they would check into it. He emphasized that the issue could be investigated without difficulty.
Robles assured during a Senate committee hearing that lottery draw results are not manipulable. He emphasized the system’s integrity, stating that even he, as PCSO General Manager, could not manipulate it. He clarified that while winning is possible, it’s not due to manipulation but rather to attract more bettors, especially with large jackpots.
