A not so good news to start the new year for lotto fanatics.
Starting today, don't be surprised if the lotto teller demands P20 for a 6/49 ticket you just purchased. The PCSO has finally imposed the 100 percent increase for the 6/49 ticket even as Malacañang has earlier stopped the Charity office from imposing the new rate.
William Medici, PCSO Central Visays Manager, said that with the increase of ticket price comes the increase in prizes. From the P8 million minimum prize, it will now be P16 million.
After announcing the price increase, Medici also revealed that the PCSO in the Visayas has achieved its sales target in 2007 with over P1 billion. With this I am wondering why they have to increase the ticket price to P20 when PCSO has gained magnanimous revenue from the P10 ticket price.
Ticket price for other lotto games will surely increase... mark my word.
