How to Play PCSO Lotto

New to PCSO lotto? Here's everything you need to know about each game — from how to pick your numbers to how prizes work.

Major Lotto Games (6-Number)

These games all follow the same basic mechanic: pick 6 numbers from a pool, and match all 6 to win the jackpot. The difference is the size of the number pool, which affects the odds and jackpot size.

How Prizes Work (6-Number Games)

You don't need to match all 6 to win. Here's the general prize structure:

Digit Games

Unlike the major lotto games, digit games use digits 0-9 for each position. The order of digits matters — your numbers must match the draw in exact sequence.

Draws: Monday, Thursday, Saturday at 9:00 PM · Ticket: ₱12

4D Lotto

Pick a 4-digit number (each digit from 0-9). Match all 4 digits in exact order to win up to ₱10,000.

Draws: Sunday, Wednesday, Friday at 9:00 PM · Ticket: ₱12

Swertres 3D Lotto

Pick a 3-digit number (each digit from 0-9). One of the most popular PCSO games due to its three daily draws and better odds. Match all 3 digits in exact order to win ₱4,500.

Draws: Daily at 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 9:00 PM · Ticket: ₱12

EZ2 2D Lotto
