In a public advisory, the PCSO said that lotto draws will be suspended from starting Monday, Jan. 10 until Wednesday, Jan. 12 to ensure the safety of its employees, agents, and the general public.

“Dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng talaan ng COVID cases sa ating bansa at upang mapangalagaan ang kalusugan, kaligtasan at kapakanan ng PSCO employees, mga ahente at ng publiko, pansamantala po naming sinusispindi ang lottop draw operations mila sa araw na ito, ika-10 ng Enero 2022 hanggang sa ika-12 ng Enero 2022 (Due to the continuous increase in the record of COVID cases in our country and to protect the health, safety and welfare of PSCO employees, agents and the public, we are temporarily suspending lottop draw operations mila today, the 10th of January 2022 to 12th January 2022),” PCSO said.

Meanwhile, PCSO said that the lotto outlets will still be open for those who wish to buy tickets for digit or jackpot games, Keno, and Instant Sweepstakes.
