Updated for Philippine Lotto Winners This Year 🇵🇭
Winning the lotto? Congrats! 🎉 But before you celebrate too hard, it’s important to know how and where to claim your PCSO prize the right way. Whether you’ve won a small amount or hit the jackpot, this 2025 guide breaks down everything you need to do to get your winnings—safely, legally, and hassle-free.
📝 Step-by-Step: How to Claim Your Lotto Winnings in the Philippines
Winning the lotto is exciting—but claiming your prize the right way is just as important. Here’s a quick and easy guide to help you claim your PCSO lotto winnings in 2025 without stress, delays, or confusion.
✅ Step 1: Double-Check Your Winning Numbers
Visit the official PCSO website pcso.gov.ph or check from official PCSO outlets, verified apps, or trusted media partners like PHSportNews.com to confirm your ticket numbers match the draw results.
🛑 Never rely on third-party “sure-win” sites. Always cross-check from official sources.
✅ Step 2: Sign the Back of Your Ticket
As soon as you verify your winning ticket, sign the back of it right away. This helps protect you in case your ticket gets lost or stolen—making it proof that you are the rightful winner.
✅ Step 3: Prepare Valid Identification
Bring two (2) government-issued valid IDs such as:
- Passport
- Driver’s License
- UMID
- PhilHealth ID
- Voter’s ID
- SSS/GSIS ID
You’ll need these when claiming any amount, especially above ₱10,000.
🏦 Where to Claim Your PCSO Lotto Prizes in 2025

💰 Tax Reminder
As of 2025, winnings above ₱10,000 are subject to 20% final tax as per the TRAIN Law. So if you win ₱1,000,000, expect a ₱200,000 deduction.
🚫 Important Reminders
- Do not tamper, fold, or laminate your ticket. Damaged tickets may not be honored.
- You have 1 year from the draw date to claim your winnings.
- Claiming on behalf of someone else? Bring an authorization letter and IDs for both parties.
🛡️ Stay Safe from Scams
Beware of people offering to claim prizes for you or charging “processing fees.” PCSO does not authorize any third party to claim winnings on your behalf unless legally documented.
