MANDALUYONG CITY — To increase lotto sales and enhance funding for the government’s various charitable programs, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has partnered with the DFNN in launching ‘LottoMatik,’ a handy, portable point-of-sale (PoS) device.
PCSO General Manager Melquiades Robles said “LottoMatik represents a significant step forward in making lottery participation accessible to every Filipino.”
“By leveraging technology, we are not just offering a chance to win but also a chance to contribute to community welfare,” Robles added.
With LottoMatik, buying lotto tickets is simple and hassle-free, offering a seamless experience.
The system also allows small businesses and individuals to sell PCSO lottery tickets, adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of technology in business and enabling individuals to be micro entrepreneurs.
The DFNN’s LottoMatik has enabled the PCSO’s lotto offerings to be accessible by accepting bets using a PoS device, allowing both institutions and individuals to conduct sales of lotto tickets even in space-challenged locations.
Launched on Nov. 8, 2024, the DFNN’s LottoMatik brand became one of PCSO’s corporate authorized agents for its lotto offerings.
LottoMatik’s main goal is to reach areas that currently lack lotto outlets, enabling more Filipinos to engage in charity.
By participating in the lottery, individuals not only have the chance to win prizes but also contribute to the charitable and health programs of the government.
This increased accessibility will also help deter individuals from participating in illegal lottery activities, curbing the growing illegal operations, thereby protecting government revenue streams intended for social welfare programs.
By merging innovation and inclusivity, the DFNN and the PCSO are reshaping the lottery landscape—creating a more accessible and engaging experience for all lotto players.
