About PCSO

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is the central agency in the Philippines that legally conducts nationwide lottery draws. PCSO was established to raise funds for health programs, medical assistance, and national charities across the country.

Proceeds from lotto bets directly support the PCSO's charitable mandate — funding hospital equipment, medical assistance to indigent patients, and other health-related programs. When you play the lotto, a portion of every ticket goes to charity.

PCSO draws are held at the PCSO Main Office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, and are broadcast live on PTV.
