Jackpot prizes that are more than P10,000 are subject to 20 percent final tax under the Tax Reform Acceleration and Inclusion Law or TRAIN Law, as per PCSO.
Winners must claim their jackpot prizes within one year from the draw date, or else, these will be forfeited and become part of the PCSO Charity Fund.
