The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) vowed to continue providing heartfelt service and being a “partner of the Filipino family” on the 89th year since its establishment.
“We will continue to provide heartfelt service as we strive to be the Filipino family’s partner in both their trials and triumphs in life in the years to come,” PCSO Chairman Junie E. Cua said.
The PCSO was created through Act 4130, which the Philippine Legislature passed on October 30, 1934.
Cua also vowed that the agency would attempt to “break records year-on-year” in terms of revenue and the number of beneficiaries it serves.
“We will try to break records year-on-year. Hindi tayo magiging kampante, bagkus ay lalo pa tayong magsisipag para tumaas ang revenue at ang bilang ng napaglilingkuran nating kababayan. Alinsunod na rin ang ating commitment sa nais ng Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na lalong paigtingin ang serbisyo sa ating kapwa,” Cua said.
Cua also said that the PCSO will be holding some activities in line with its anniversary.
“Sa mga susunod na araw ay aarangkada po ang iba’t ibang aktibidad gaya ng mga medical mission sa iba’t ibang lugar,” he said.
The Chairman also shared his excitement as minimum lotto jackpot prizes for all its major lotto games had been set to P89 million on October 30 to mark its anniversary.
“Mas malaki at mas masaya ang pa-premyo para sa pagdiriwang ng ating 89th Anniversary. Pagpapasalamat na rin natin ito sa ating mga kababayan dahil kung hindi rin dahil sa inyo, hindi magagawa ng PCSO ang charity programs nito,” he said.
The agency earlier announced that the P89-million prize is applicable to Grand Lotto 6/55 and MegaLotto 6/45, which are the games drawn on Mondays.
The prize would then be applied to the UltraLotto 6/58 (TFSun), SuperLotto 6/49 (TThSun), and Lotto 6/42 (TThS) should there be no winner on Monday, and will increase accordingly until the jackpot is hit.
A lone bettor from Nueva Vizcaya has since won the Lotto 6/42 draw with a prize of P102,254,379.40, the agency announced on Monday, November 6.
The PCSO was created through Act 4130, which the Philippine Legislature passed on October 30, 1934.
