In line with its commitment to public service, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) conducted a community-based outreach activity in Lipa, Batangas on January 9, 2026, delivering essential assistance to underserved sectors.
The initiative was led by PCSO Chairman Judge Felix Reyes, together with Directors Jennifer Guevara and Imelda Papin, and PCSO Batangas Branch Manager Brenda de Guzman. The initiative aimed to bring direct and timely assistance to underserved sectors, reinforcing PCSO’s commitment to accessible and responsive public service.
One of the beneficiaries, Ms. Turiana Suarez, a resident of San Benito, Lipa City, received ₱50,000.00 in medical assistance to help her family cover her hospital expenses. The assistance was requested through the Office of the Chairman and was personally handed over by the Chairman, reaffirming the agency’s unwavering dedication to bringing hope and relief to Filipinos in their most difficult moments.
In addition, a total of 2,000 Charitimba were distributed to residents of Barangays San Benito, Sto. Toribio, San Francisco, and San Celestino in Lipa City, most of whom were senior citizens. The outreach likewise extended support to education, with 80 college students from the same barangays receiving educational assistance to help them pursue their academic goals.
PCSO officials emphasized that the program aligns with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to bring government programs and services closer to the people, particularly to those who need them most. Through initiatives like this, PCSO continues to strengthen its role as a partner of Filipinos in promoting welfare, resilience, and hope for a better future.
This outreach activity was implemented under PCSO’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program, which underscores the agency’s sustained commitment to inclusive development, social equity, and nation-building by ensuring that vital assistance reaches communities where it is needed most.

Mandaluyong City, Philippines — Dreams came true for two lucky women, a senior
citizen from Los Baños, Laguna, and a housewife from Caloocan City, after they split
the staggering ₱104,548,763.10 jackpot in the SuperLotto 6/49 draw of the Philippine
Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on January 8, 2026.
Both claimed their prizes at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City on January 12,
2026.
The winning combination 09-11-30-12-24-26 was chosen by both winners using their
family members’ birthdates. Each ticket costs only ₱20.00, proving that even small bets
can lead to life-changing fortunes.
For the senior citizen, the win was the culmination of more than three decades of
persistence. She revealed plans to share her prize with her three siblings, who are also
elderly and unemployed. She also hopes to invest in a house and lot and start her own
family business.
“Mahigit tatlong dekada na ako sumusubok sa lotto at umaasa din na manalo para
mabago ang aking kapalaran. Mahirap at matanda na ako gusto ko naman guminhawa
ang buhay namin ng pamilya ko. Babahaginan ko din ang mga kapatid ko” she said.
Her advice to fellow lotto players was simple yet heartfelt, “Sa mga mananaya huwag
kayo mawawalan ng pagasa. May awa ang Diyos sa mga naniniwala sa kanya.”
The second winner, a 38-year-old housewife, has been an occasional lotto player for
more than a decade. While still undecided on how to use her share of the jackpot, she
intends to save a portion and treat the prize as a blessing from God.
Under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, a 20% tax is
automatically deducted from prizes above ₱10,000.
The SuperLotto 6/49 is drawn every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 9:00 p.m. via
live telecast on IBC-13 and D8TV. Winning numbers and other PCSO game details are
available on the official PCSO website and Facebook page.
