PCSO Official Statement July 29, 2019 (FULL TEXT)

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, being a GOCC directly under the Office of the President, will continue to abide by the directive of President Duterte to suspend all its gaming activities, until further notice.

The PCSO immediately implemented the suspension last Saturday, July 27, 2019, wherein all Lotto and KENO terminals were automatically disabled at the Main Data Center of our system providers.

May we inform the public that our Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP) services at the Lung Center of the Philippines in Quezon City and all PCSO Branch Offices nationwide will still be available today onwards, unless otherwise instructed.

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 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.***
