MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has reverted to the charity funds of the agency some P100 million in unclaimed prizes of its online lottery games, a top official of the agency said over the weekend.
This action was taken after the one-year period to claim the winnings expired.
Jose Ferdinand Rojas, PCSO general manager, told reporters during a news forum at Hotel Rembrandt in Quezon City that the unclaimed winnings included both minor and major prizes of the 6/42 Lotto, 6/45 Mega Lotto, 6/49 Super Lotto and 6/55 Grand Lotto games.
Below P5,000 winnings can be claimed at lotto outlets while major prizes can be claimed in the PCSO’s Central office at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.
