The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has resumed its lotto draws on Thursday, Jan. 13.
In an advisory posted on its Facebook page, PCSO announced the lotto draw schedule and catch-up draws for tickets that were sold before it suspended the draws early this week.
Due to the surge in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in the country, PCSO has temporarily suspended lotto draws from Monday, Jan. 10 to Wednesday, Jan. 12 to ensure the safety of its employees, agents, and the general public.
Despite the suspension of lotto draws, the outlets were still opened for those who wished to buy tickets for digit or jackpot games, Keno, and Instant Sweepstakes.
PCSO said that STL operations also continued only in areas allowed by the local government units (LGUs).
Based on the announcement, the pre-draw and jackpot as well as the live draw preparation were scheduled this morning.
From 1 p.m. onwards, the catch-up draws for 2 p.m.; 5 p.m.; and 9 p.m. from Jan. 10 to 12 were scheduled.
At 9 p.m., PCSO is set to hold the catch-up draws for all Jan. 13 (2 p.m., 5 p.m., and 9 p.m.) draws.
The catch-up draws can be viewed on PCSO’s website at www. pcso.gov.ph and on Facebook accounts (PCSO and PCSO Games Hub).
Before the lotto draws were suspended, the jackpot prizes for PCSO’s jackpot-bearing games were P5,940, 000 (6/24); P12, 496, 283. 80(6/54); P129, 125, 463.60(6/49); P57, 186, 527.00 (5/55); and P64, 875, 864.60 (6/58).
