PCSO Lotto Draw Schedule

People who love the Filipino lottery know how annoying it is to miss a draw because they forgot when it was. PCSO runs a number of lotteries every week, and the draw times for each one determine when millions of pesos change hands.

This guide explains exactly when each PCSO lottery takes place. It covers the big-ticket options like Ultra 6/58 and Grand 6/55, along with smaller daily draws that often go unnoticed by casual players.

Whether you're a casual player or a dedicated lottery enthusiast, knowing the exact schedule helps you plan your participation and never miss an opportunity to win life-changing prizes.

PCSO operates five flagship number-based lotteries, each offering jackpots, prize tiers, and fixed schedules. Every ticket costs ₱20.00 and can be purchased from any authorized outlet nationwide. Participants can either select their own combination or rely on the Lucky Pick (LP) system for a random set.

The lower-stakes lottery options take place several times each week. These digit-based contests appeal to players who want quicker chances to win rather than waiting for the larger jackpot events.

EZ2 (2D Lotto) has three drawing sessions every day: at 2 PM, 5 PM, and 9 PM from Monday to Sunday. This two-digit game has the most chances to win in PCSO's lineup. Swertres (3D Lotto) has the same schedule: daily drawings at 2 PM, 5 PM, and 9 PM all week long.

During special occasions and important national holidays, PCSO announces draw suspensions several days in advance. This advance notice helps players plan their betting strategies around holiday schedules.

Key scheduling considerations:

• Holiday Suspensions: PCSO suspends draws during major national holidays with advance notice
• Technical Delays: Occasional technical issues may cause minor delays in draw times
• Official Announcements: Always check PCSO official channels for schedule changes
• Ticket Sales Cutoff: Ticket sales typically stop 1 hour before each draw
• Result Publication: Results are published immediately after each draw concludes

Most players prefer the evening time slots. People can check results or buy tickets for upcoming draws after work. Both games stay popular because their schedules are easy to predict and the cost to enter is fair.

Regional STL variations provide additional choices. STL Swer3 Visayas holds draws daily at 10:30 AM, 3 PM, and 7 PM, while STL Swer3 Mindanao follows the standard schedule of 2PM, 5PM, and 9PM.
