Sen. Raffy Tulfo revealed on Tuesday, March 12 that a single bettor won 20 times in one month based on the records he received from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO).

"'Yung PCSO nagbigay ho sa akin ng listahan...ito nga po yung sinasabi ko medyo nakakataas ng kilay, mayroon doon na isang tao nanalo ng 20 times in one month. Mayroon dun 10 times in one month (PCSO gave me a list...this is what I was saying that's somewhat concerning, there was someone there who won 20 times in one month. Someone won 10 times in one month)," Tulfo said in a radio interview on DZBB.

"Well maybe siguro baka magkapangalan pero still pare-pareho 'yung premyo ang pinanalunan (Maybe they're of the same name but still they are winning the same draws)," he added.

Tulfo explained that a single bettor would tend to win PCSO's four-digit draw as well as a two-digit draw in one month.

The senator is leading the investgation of PCSO lotto draws under the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.

Last Feb. 1, Atty. Lyssa Grace Pagano, Chief of Staff, Office of the General Manager of PCSO submitted the names of lotto winners and the games they won from July 1 to Jan. 30, 2024.

Tulfo vowed to protect the names and consider them as confidential.

Atty. Ralbert John Neil Tibayan of the Legal and Legislative Division of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) said that they will also come up with a report to show the accuracy of the records.

Tulfo said that they have yet to receive the report from BIR.

In a separate interview, PCSO General Manager Mel Robles said that he will look into the matter raised by Tulfo.

"Sa totoo, I wouldn't know. Ako, personally, hindi ko po tintingnan yon. Pero I'll check, I'll look into that kung meron hong ganon, kasi hindi naman ho kami tumitingin na niyan after namin maibigay e (In reality, I wouldn't know. Me personally, I don't look at it. But I'll check, I'll look into that if there's suh a thing since we don't really look at the records once we give it)," he said.
