Playing the 6/42 Lotto

Lotto 6/42 is one of the oldest and most established lottery games offered by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). The game is simple and easy to play, making it a favorite among regular lotto players.

To participate, a bettor must select six (6) numbers from 1 to 42 and mark them on the official play slip. Players may also choose the Lucky Pick (LP) option if they prefer the system to automatically generate their number combination.

A systematic play is also available for Lotto 6/42 draws, allowing players to play multiple number combinations in a single ticket. More combinations increase the chances of winning but also result in higher total bet costs.

A player wins the jackpot prize by correctly matching all six (6) winning numbers in any order.

How to claim the 6/42 Lotto Prize?

If you win a PCSO lotto prize, follow these steps to claim your prize:

1. Sign the Ticket: Immediately write your name and affix your signature on the back of the winning ticket. This helps establish ownership of the ticket.
2. Valid Identification: Bring two (2) valid government-issued IDs with your photo and signature for verification when claiming your prize.

The prize-claim location depends on the amount you’ve won:

Important Notes When Claiming

• Tax: Prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to 20% withholding tax under the TRAIN Law.
• Agent Commission: A 1% commission goes to the PCSO lotto agent who sold the winning ticket.
• One-Year Claim Rule: You must claim your prize within one year from the draw date; unclaimed prizes are forfeited and revert to PCSO charity funds.
• Ticket Condition: Winning tickets must be intact and readable — damaged, mutilated, altered, or unreadable barcodes will not be honored.

Where to check the 6/42 Lotto Results?

In addition to lottopcso.com, players may watch the lotto draw results live on PTV, as well as through PTV’s official Facebook and Twitter accounts. The official PCSO social media pages also stream the lotto draws live.

On special occasions, such as major national holidays, PCSO announces the suspension of lotto draws several days before the scheduled draw date to inform the public.

Important Reminders for Lotto Players

• Validity of Tickets: Winning lotto tickets are valid for one (1) year from the draw date. Prizes not claimed within this period will be forfeited in favor of PCSO’s charity funds.
• Check Your Ticket Carefully: Players are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of all details printed on the ticket, including the bet type, bet amount, draw date, and chosen numbers, before leaving the outlet.
• Age Requirement: Individuals 18 years of age and older are eligible to play PCSO lotto games.
• Buy from Authorized Outlets Only: Purchase lotto tickets exclusively from authorized PCSO outlets. Avoid buying tickets or number combinations from individuals who claim guaranteed wins; such offers are not legitimate.
• Proper Ticket Handling: Lotto tickets are heat-sensitive. Do not expose them to high temperatures, moisture, or excessive folding, as severely damaged or unreadable tickets will not be honored by PCSO.
• Safekeeping: Keep your ticket in a safe and dry place. It is advisable to sign the back of the ticket immediately to establish ownership in case it is lost.
• Beware of Scams: PCSO does not notify winners via text, calls, or social media messages. All prize claims must follow official PCSO procedures.

More importantly, the increased participation fueled by these larger jackpots directly expands the funds generated for the PCSO’s vital mission: providing health, medical assistance, and social welfare programs to millions of Filipinos.”
