The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has announced yesterday that winners of lotto and keno may still claim their prizes despite on-going suspension of its operations.
“For those who are holding winning Lotto and KENO tickets, prizes can still be claimed at the PCSO Head Office, Conservatory Building, Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday,” the PCSO said in a statement published on its Facebook page.
The announcement was made in light of the suspension order made by President Rodrigo Duterte late Friday night due to alleged massive corruption in the agency.
In the same statement, the PCSO also said it “supports the decision of our dear President in eradicating corruption and illegal gambling activities.”
“The Agency programs, projects and activities are aligned to the objective and goal of our national government,” it added.
The PCSO likewise assures the public that it will continue its medical assistance program for the underprivileged through its Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP).
