How Swertres Works
Swertres (3D) is PCSO's most popular daily game. Pick three digits from 0–9 and match them in the exact order drawn to win the fixed ₱4,500 first prize on a ₱10 play. A Rambolito (any-order) play on the same three digits wins ₱500 or ₱1,500 depending on whether the digits repeat.
It draws three times a day, seven days a week — at 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 9:00 PM Philippine time — which is why "today" and "yesterday" are the two questions players actually ask. There's a new result to check every few hours.
With 1,000 possible combinations (000 to 999), the odds of hitting Swertres straight are 1 in 1,000 per draw. That makes it by far the most winnable PCSO game, and combined with three draws per day, it's why Swertres accounts for a significant portion of all PCSO ticket sales. Many regular players track patterns from previous draws — while every draw is independently random, reviewing past results helps players avoid repeating the same combinations they've already tried.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time is the Swertres draw?
Swertres (3D) draws three times daily — 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, and 9:00 PM, Philippine time, every day of the week including holidays.
How much does a Swertres ticket cost?
A straight (exact-order) or Rambolito play costs ₱10 minimum. You can increase the bet amount for a proportionally larger prize — a ₱20 straight play pays ₱9,000 instead of ₱4,500.
What is the difference between Straight and Rambolito?
Straight requires matching all three digits in exact order (1 in 1,000 odds, ₱4,500 prize). Rambolito matches the digits in any order — better odds but a lower prize: ₱500 if all three digits are different, or ₱1,500 if two digits are the same.
Can I pick the same digit three times (e.g. 7-7-7)?
Yes, triple digits are valid Swertres combinations. Since there's only one arrangement, a Rambolito play on a triple is effectively the same as a straight play — the prize stays at ₱4,500.
How long do I have to claim a Swertres prize?
One year from the draw date. After that, the prize is forfeited and goes to PCSO's charity fund. See our full guide on how to claim a prize for the documents and locations for each prize size.
Where can I buy Swertres tickets?
At any authorized PCSO lotto outlet nationwide. Outlets are typically small kiosks or windows marked with the PCSO logo. You cannot buy official PCSO tickets online — any site claiming to sell them is not authorized.
Are Swertres results the same nationwide?
Yes. PCSO draws Swertres from a single national draw — the winning combination is the same everywhere in the Philippines, regardless of which outlet you bought the ticket from.
What happens if nobody wins a Swertres draw?
Nothing rolls over — Swertres is a fixed-prize game, not a jackpot game. The ₱4,500 (straight) or ₱500/₱1,500 (Rambolito) prizes are paid the same regardless of how many people win or lose on a given draw.

Yes. This page shows the latest draws, and you can browse the full archive month by month using the links below the results table. We store results going back to 2022.
Swertres Odds & Prize Tiers
| Play Type | How It Works | Odds | Prize (₱10 bet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight | Match all 3 digits in exact order | 1 in 1,000 | ₱4,500 |
| Rambolito (all different) | Match all 3 digits in any order — digits are all different (e.g. 1-2-3) | 1 in 167 | ₱500 |
| Rambolito (one pair) | Match all 3 digits in any order — two digits are the same (e.g. 1-1-2) | 1 in 333 | ₱1,500 |
The expected return per ₱10 straight play is ₱4.50 (45%), which is typical for lottery products. Rambolito trades a lower prize for better odds, but the expected return stays roughly the same — the house edge is built into the fixed prizes, not the play type.
Swertres Tips for Players
- Track your plays. With three draws per day, it's easy to lose track of which combinations you've already tried. Keeping a simple log avoids accidentally repeating the same numbers across draws.
- Rambolito isn't always better. The better odds sound appealing, but the prize drops dramatically — ₱500 vs ₱4,500 for the same ₱10 bet. If you're playing for the payout, straight is the way.
- Budget per day, not per draw. Three draws a day means the cost can add up fast. Setting a daily limit (e.g. ₱30 = one play per draw) keeps the habit sustainable.
- Check results promptly. Winning tickets expire after one year from the draw date, but the sooner you check, the sooner you can claim. Use the results on this page — we update within minutes of each draw.

How PCSO Lotto Number Frequency Analysis Works
Frequency analysis tracks how often each number appears in recent PCSO lotto draws. Numbers that appear more often than average are called "hot numbers" (masipag), while numbers that rarely appear are "cold numbers" (kalmado). This data is computed from actual draw results stored in our database — not estimates or predictions.
Some players prefer picking hot numbers, believing momentum carries forward. Others choose cold numbers, expecting them to be "due." Neither strategy changes the mathematical odds — every number has an equal probability each draw — but frequency data helps you make informed, data-driven picks rather than relying on guesswork.
Our analysis updates automatically after each PCSO draw. Select any game and time range above to see the most current frequency distribution. The bar chart shows every possible number and how many times it appeared, while the hot/cold panels highlight the extremes.
Understanding the Jackpot Trend Chart
For 6-number lotto games (6/42, 6/45, 6/49, 6/55, 6/58), the jackpot trend chart shows how the prize pool has moved over your selected time range. When no one wins, the jackpot rolls over and grows — creating the dramatic upward slopes you'll often see.
Sharp drops indicate a jackpot was won and the prize reset to its guaranteed minimum. These patterns help you spot the current cycle: is the jackpot building toward a peak, or has it just reset? While timing your play doesn't change your odds of winning, many players prefer to buy tickets when jackpots are higher to maximize the potential return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are hot numbers more likely to win?
No. Each draw is independent — past results don't influence future ones. Hot/cold analysis is a tool for informed picking, not a prediction system.
Q: How far back does the data go?
Free analysis covers the last 30 draws (~1 month). For deeper analysis covering 60, 90 draws, or a custom date range, upgrade to Premium in the Kuyacoco app.
Q: Why do some numbers appear way more than others?
In small samples (7–30 draws), variance is normal. Over hundreds of draws, frequencies tend to even out. That's basic probability at work — streaks and droughts are expected, not anomalies.
Q: Does Kuyacoco predict winning numbers?
No. We provide historical data and statistical tools so you can analyze patterns yourself. No one can reliably predict random lottery outcomes.
Q: What's the difference between website and app statistics?
The website offers free monthly frequency analysis. The Kuyacoco app adds extended date ranges, a draw simulator, number-vs-history checker, and a lucky number generator with multiple strategies.
