Congratulations on your win! Claiming a PCSO prize is straightforward once you know where to go — the venue depends on how much you won. Here's the complete guide, from a ₱20 consolation up to a multi-million jackpot.
Where to Claim, by Prize Amount
| Prize | Where to Claim | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ₱20 – ₱5,000 | Any authorized PCSO lotto outlet, or any PCSO branch office | Outlets pay small prizes on the spot from their sales. |
| ₱5,001 – ₱300,000 | PCSO branch (provincial/district) offices, or the PCSO main office | Bring the winning ticket and a valid government ID. |
| Above ₱300,000 (incl. jackpots) | PCSO Main Office — Conservatory Bldg., Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City | Ticket is validated first; prizes above ₱10,000 are paid net of the 20% final tax, usually by check. |
Claiming Step by Step
1Sign the back of your winning ticket immediately
A lotto ticket is a bearer instrument — whoever holds it can claim it. Signing the back protects you if it's lost or stolen.
2Verify your numbers against the official PCSO results
Check the official PCSO draw broadcast or published results (you can cross-check quickly on our results pages) before travelling to claim.
3Prepare one or two valid government IDs
Bring at least one valid government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, UMID, etc.). For large prizes and jackpots, bring two valid IDs.
4Go to the right claiming venue for your prize size
Up to ₱5,000: any lotto outlet or branch office. ₱5,001–₱300,000: a PCSO branch office. Above ₱300,000 and jackpots: the PCSO Main Office on Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong City.
5Claim within 1 year of the draw date
Unclaimed prizes expire one year after the draw and are forfeited to PCSO's charity fund. Don't sit on a winning ticket.
Don't Forget the 20% Tax
Prizes above ₱10,000 are paid net of a 20% final tax under the TRAIN law. Use our lotto tax calculator to see exactly how much you'll take home from any prize.
