The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is turning up thrill and excitement for 2026.
Starting February 1, lottery enthusiasts nationwide can look forward to significantly higher minimum jackpot prizes across all major games, ensuring that every ticket holds even more life-changing potential from the very first draw.
Under the updated prize structure, the minimum jackpot prize for Lotto 6/42 is set at P10 million; Mega Lotto 6/45 at P15 million; Super Lotto 6/49 at P 25 million; Grand Lotto 6/55 at P 45 million; and Ultra Lotto 6/58 at P 75 million.
The PCSO confirmed that the progressive jackpot system remains unchanged.
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles said the higher starting jackpots reflect PCSO’s efforts to make every draw more exciting and rewarding for all players nationwide.
If no winner is declared in a draw, the jackpot will continue to increase, reaching even more substantial amounts until a lucky player matches all six numbers.
While these enhancements include a measured adjustment in ticket prices, the move is designed to offer players a more competitive “risk-to-reward” ratio.
More importantly, the increased participation fueled by these larger jackpots directly expands the funds generated for the PCSO’s vital mission: providing health, medical assistance, and social welfare programs to millions of Filipinos.
‘These higher starting jackpots reflect our commitment to keeping the games exciting while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our charitable initiatives,” GM Robles explained.
“Every ticket purchased is not just a chance to win; it’s a contribution to the nation’s welfare.”
This, as the PCSO advises the public to play responsibly and stay updated on draw schedules and obtain official results only through authorized PCSO channels.
