Follow these detailed instructions to learn how to play this lotto game:

  1. Go to any authorized PCSO lotto outlet and look for the PCSO Lotto 6/42 bet slip.
  2. Pick six (6) digits that will comprise your 6/42 Lotto combination. You can pick from numbers 1 to 42.
  3. Choose LP (Lucky Pick) in case you want the terminal to randomly pick the number combination for you.
  4. You can also improve your odds of winning through the 6/42 Lotto System Play. With this option, you can mark more than the usual six (6) numbers thus increasing your total number combinations.
  5. Mark the number of consecutive draws you want to join in the Draw section.
  6. Pay the ticket price and get your generated ticket once done.
  7. See the 6/42 Lotto Result right after the 9:00 pm scheduled draw to see if your ticket matches the winning number combination.

Each PCSO Lotto 6/42 combination costs PhP 20. If you played any of the System Bets, the total bet amount would vary from PhP 140 to PhP 18,480, depending on the overall number of combinations generated. The ticket price includes a 20% Documentary Stamp Tax (DST).

Once done placing your bet, affix your signature at the back of the PCSO Lotto 6/42 ticket. Keep it in a secure and dry place.

Your 6/42 Lotto ticket must be machine-validated before you can claim your prize. Hence, do not tamper with, wet, fold or iron your ticket.

Lotto 6/42 is the Philippines’ first national lottery game. Players have to select six (6) numbers from 1 to 42 and match all of them to the drawn official winning number combination to win the Initial Jackpot Prize (IJP) of P5,940,000.00 (net of agent’s prize commission). The jackpot prize keeps on growing based on nationwide sales until there is a jackpot winner!

New PCSO Guidelines to be Observed when Playing Lotto 6/42

PCSO has implemented the guidelines below to be followed by 6/42 Lotto bettors in the country.

  1. Make sure to wear face mask at all times. Players without face mask will not be permitted to play 6/42 Lotto.
  2. Follow social distancing at all times while in the outlet.
  3. Use your own ball pen when placing bets.
  4. Place the play slips and cash in the tray provided by the outlet to reduce physical contact.
  5. Use sanitizers or alcohols before you leave the lotto outlet.
  6. Avoid littering and throw away any used playing card or old tickets in the trash cans.

PCSO Lotto 6/42 System Bets – How to Improve the Chances of Winning

You can increase your chances of winning the jackpot through 6/42 Lotto System Bets. This advanced option allows you to pick more than the usual six (6) numbers and generates numerous combinations of your chosen numbers.

These are the choices available if you want to play system bets- System 7, System 8, System 9, System 10, System 11, System 12 and System 5-Roll (System 5R).

In System 7, a bettor picks seven (7) numbers which creates a total of seven (7) combinations. With System 8, on the other hand, the bettor selects a total of eight (8) numbers producing a total of 28 combinations.

To sum it up, more and more number combinations are generated as the marked numbers increase. This same rule applies to the rest of the remaining system bets.

With regard to System 5-Roll, you only select five (5) numbers and if your 5 numbers match the winning combination, you automatically win the jackpot. This is because in System 5R, the 5 numbers you have picked are automatically partnered with each of the remaining 37 digits in the bet card, producing a total of 37 combinations.

Please remember that your overall bet cost will be much higher in system bets because of the higher number of combinations you will bet on. The total ticket price shall be PhP 20 times the number of combinations created.
