History

THE BEGINNING OF LOTTERIES IN THE PHILIPPINES

Historically, lotteries have been in existence in the Philippines as early as 1833.

Under the auspices of private enterprises called Empresa de Reales Loteria Espanola’s de
Filipinas, the Spanish Government conducted loterias to generate revenues. In fact, our own
national hero Dr. Jose Rizal won ₱6,200.00 in the draw of 1892, while on exile in Dapitan.
He donated his winnings to an educational project. This altruistic act gives an inkling of what
could be done if the lottery was harnessed for charitable and social welfare projects.

With the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution, the loteria was forced to stop
operations. And it was not until the early 1930s that the idea of holding lottery games was
revived. In 1932, the first Sweepstakes draw was conducted by the government to raise funds
to support sports projects for the Filipino youth through the Philippine Amateur Athletic
Federation (PAAF) – the beneficiary of the first draw.

The PAAF Sweepstakes was successful so Philippine government decided to conduct

more draws for the benefit of the Philippine Anti-Tuberculosis Society, now the Philippine
Tuberculosis Society (PTS). The draws were held under the auspices of an organization
called the National Charity Sweepstakes.

THE NEW SWEEPSTAKES AGENCY

Rather than limit the sweepstakes to the benefit of the youth or to fighting tuberculosis, the
country’s legislators thought of institutionalizing the Sweepstakes as a new venture of raising funds
for the promotion of public health and general welfare.

By March 1935, then President Manuel L. Quezon approved Act 4130 – the law passed by
the Philippine Legislature in October 30, 1934 creating the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes, replacing
the then National Charity Sweepstakes. Under this law, the new organization was authorized to secure
from the National Treasury a loan amounting to ₱250,000.00, the minimum amount required for
organizing the office and printing the tickets for the draw.

On September 8, 1935, the new agency held its first Sweepstakes draw. Needless to say, the
loan was paid back in less than two months and shortly after the note was signed, proceeds from the
sales started pouring in. The mandate of the Sweepstakes found acceptance among the Filipino
people; its humanitarian mission readily won public trust and support.

Among its beneficiaries then were the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF), the
Philippine Tuberculosis Society (PTS), the National Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Association
de Damas de Filipinas, the Gota de Leche, the Associate of Manila and the Provinces, the Philippine
Council of Boy Scouts of America, the Asilo Para Invalidos de los Veteranos de la Revolucion, the
Child Welfare Center and other institutions and organizations engaged in charitable and health work,
or work for the improvement of the conditions of the indigent Filipino masses.

On June 18,1954, Republic Act 1169 was enacted into law providing for charity sweepstakes
and lotteries once a month when there are no Sweepstakes draws and races.

The PCSO has since remained to be an indispensable charity arm of the government,
frequently summoned to provide funding for essential health and welfare activities and projects
nationwide.

BIGGER SHARE FOR CHARITY

In September 1979, Batas Pambansa Blg.42 was enacted into law amending the PCSO
Charter (RA 1169). The law raised the fund allocation for the agency’s Charity Fund from the
previous 25% of net sales to 30%, while 55% now went to prizes and the remaining 15% for
operations. On top of the 30% share from net receipts, all unclaimed prizes go to the Charity Fund.

Since then, the frequency of draws was also increased. Draws were held every week all year
round, not to mention the special draws like the ₱20 million – Freedom Draw held every February 25,
the ₱5 million draws, and the ₱25 million – Christmas Draws. Despite the notable up-trend in
sweepstakes activity, the growing number of requests for greater financial assistance from all over the
country has been outstripping the earnings from ticket sales.

During the administration of then President Fidel V. Ramos, the PCSO was mandated to
undertake a very important mission: to support government’s rehabilitation program for the areas
 Bulacan State University – Hagonoy Campus

Bachelor of Science in Information and Technology
(System Analysis and Design IT 303)

devastated by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption. As an adjunct to this, President Ramos issued Proclamation
No. 51, “Exhorting the public and private sectors to support the PCSO Special Pinatubo Lottery Draw
scheduled on October 22, 1992, to raise charity funds for the victims of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption.”
That was the first of a series of draws the PCSO had embarked on to raise the ₱350 million which
was disbursed later to the President’s Calamity Fund.

On February 14,1993, the PCSO conducted the first of a series of draws to support the
Cordillera Autonomous Region Livelihood Project – a project that provides our Filipino brothers and
sisters in the Cordilleras the opportunity to work and to develop themselves as productive
entrepreneurs of the community.

As embodied in its charter, the PCSO’s primary objective is to provide funds for health
programs, medical assistance and services and charities of national character. The PCSO’s mandate
sets the pace for the development of community health care in all the regional hospitals nationwide
through the establishment of Tuberculosis Centers, Cancer and Pain Centers, and Dialysis Centers
that deliver vital medical assistance and services to the people.

NEW LOTTERIES

Under its amended charter, the PCSO has the authority “… to hold and conduct lotteries and
similar activities” to generate funds. Lottery, in Philippine jurisprudence, is defined “as… a scheme
for the distribution of prizes by chance among persons who have paid or agreed to pay a valuable
consideration for the chance to obtain a prize.”

For over fifty years the traditional Sweepstakes was the PCSO’s sole source of revenue.
Clearly it was time to innovate, to introduce modern lottery games, and to experiment.

Given its mounting financial commitments to its beneficiaries, the PCSO needed additional
sources of Funds.

The PCSO’s first innovation was the Instant Sweepstakes, a variant of the national lottery
game. Patterned after a similar game in the United States of America which contributed US$476
million to the US Department of Education, the Instant Sweepstakes was launched in mid-1987. By
the end of the year. Instant Sweepstakes was able to generate an additional ₱27 million for the PCSO
Charity Fund.

Another innovation tried by the PCSO was the Small Town Lottery (STL). It was meant to
generate more funds to provide greater help to the local projects. With the use of computers and new
technology, the STL also aimed to eradicate jueteng, masiao, and other similar illegal number games
that were rampant in the countryside.

To bolster its integrity and credibility, the PCSO introduced live television coverage of its
draws and implement other innovative security measures such as replacement of judges for each
draw.

THE LOTTO

In 1995 during the incumbency of then Chairman Manuel L Morato, the PCSO launched the
very first On-Line lottery in the Philippines. Similar to the successful games run in the U.S., Europe
and Australia, the On-line lottery, better known as the lotto brought a new dimension of fun and
excitement for the betting public. In this computerized gaming, initially the Lotto 6/42, the player
chooses any set of 6 numbers from 1 to 42 and wins when these numbers are drawn in any sequence
during the draw date.

The lotto was a big hit despite strong opposition from certain quarters. Its legality was
questioned but the Supreme Court ruled that the new lottery was legal. Since then, more lottery game
forms have been added such as the three-digit (3D), the four -digit (4D), the six-digit (6D), the Mega
Lotto 6/45 and the Super Lotto 6/49 draw.

IMPROVING THE SWEEPSTAKES

Even with the successful operation of the lotto, PCSO is taking steps to improve the
traditional Sweepstakes to make it more competitive. The sales of Sweepstakes tickets have been
automated at the point of sale, and the entire financial system has been computerized. Not only does
this ensure better management of the game, but it likewise lengthens the ticket selling period.
Significantly, computerization has enhanced the product’s integrity and image. To complete the
facelift, the Sweepstakes tickets have come out with a new design.

In March 1998, the new Bonus Sweepstakes “Doble Panalo” was launched to make the
Sweepstakes more appealing to the public. The new game is a combination of Sweepstakes and
Instant Win where players can have the chance to win twice with a purchase of just one share worth
₱10.00. Prizes include over ₱3 million in the Sweepstakes and over ₱550,000 prizes in the Match &
Win portion.

These game enhancements are expected to yield greater revenues that will likewise
dramatically give impetus to PCSO’s avowed commitment to support its ever-growing number of
beneficiaries and programs.

OTHER PCSO SERVICES

Undoubtedly one of the most effective means of pursuing the agency’s commitment to the
Filipino people is charity through free medical and dental services.

Initially serving its officials and employees, referrals, and walk-ins, the PCSO Charity
Clinic’s services have now expanded to include the depressed barangays in Metro Manila to as far as
Sorsogon in the South and Isabela in the North. A total of twenty-six (26) outreach missions have
