How to buy tickets online: Introduction

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has been operating lottery games in the Philippines since 1935. They offer a wide range of popular games like Lotto, Swertres Lotto, 6/42 Lotto, Mega Lotto 6/45, and many more.

In recent years, PCSO launched their E-Lotto app platform, allowing players to conveniently purchase lottery tickets online through their website or mobile app. This provides a number of benefits compared to buying in person at a PCSO outlet:

  • Avoid long queues – Buying online avoids having to wait in long lines at busy outlets. Tickets can be purchased instantly.

  • Ticket tracking – Players can view and track all purchased tickets within the app or website. Provides record keeping and transparency.

When you navigate to the “Buy Tickets” section of the PCSO E-Lotto app, you’ll be presented with a list of available lotto games to choose from. The most popular games offered are:

  • 6/42 Lotto – This is the original nationwide lotto game in the Philippines. You pick 6 numbers from 1-42. To win the jackpot, you need to match all 6 numbers. There are also smaller prizes for matching 3, 4, or 5 numbers.
  • 6/55 Grand Lotto – This game has a bigger jackpot prize. You choose 6 numbers from 1-55. Match all 6 to win the jackpot. Partial number matches win smaller prizes.
  • 6/58 Ultra Lotto – Currently the game with the biggest jackpot prize. Pick 6 numbers from 1-58 and match all to hit the jackpot. It has some of the biggest jackpot prizes awarded.
  • 4-Digit Game – In this game you pick 4 numbers from 0-9 and match in exact order to win prizes. It has multiple draws daily.

So when buying a ticket on the PCSO E-Lotto app, you’ll first select which of these lottery games you want to play. The 6/42 Lotto is the most commonly played, but you can choose any game. Just tap on the game you want and you’ll then move on to picking your numbers.

Pick Numbers

To pick numbers for your ticket, simply tap the numbers on the screen to select them. The numbers you select will be highlighted.

You can select up to 6 numbers from 1 to 55 for most lottery games. Make sure you pick the right amount of numbers for the specific game.

If you want the numbers to be randomly generated for you, tap the “Quick Pick” button at the bottom and the app will automatically select random numbers.

The quick pick option is a fast and easy way to get your ticket numbers without having to manually choose them. Some people believe using quick pick gives them better luck since the numbers are truly random.

Once you’ve finished selecting your numbers, either manually or via quick pick, review them to make sure they are correct. Then tap “Add to Cart” to continue to the next step of paying for your ticket.

Confirm Ticket Details

Before paying, carefully review the ticket details to ensure everything is correct. This includes:

  • Game Type – Make sure you have selected the right game (e.g. 6/42 Lotto, 6/55 Grand Lotto, etc.).
  • Numbers Picked – Double check the numbers you selected. Read them carefully and confirm they are the numbers you want to play for this draw.
  • Number of Tickets – Verify the quantity of tickets being purchased. Buying multiple tickets increases your chances of winning.
  • Ticket Cost – Review the total cost of your ticket purchase. This is based on the game type, number of tickets, and any additional features like EZ2 Surebet.
  • Bet Type – Confirm your bet type is correct (e.g. Straight, Rambol, System). Each has different rules for winning prizes.
  • Prize Breakdown – Scan the prize breakdown chart to understand the prizes at each matching level.

Take a minute to carefully review all ticket details. Make any changes needed by using the edit buttons. It’s important everything is right before moving forward with payment. This will avoid any mistakes and ensure you receive the tickets you want.
