PCSO Lottery Draw
The PCSO Lottery Draw is the television program that broadcasts the drawing of the nationally-franchised Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) lotto games in the Philippines. It has been aired daily (except on Christmas Day, New Year's Day, National Election Day, and during the Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday holiday period) on the People's Television Network (PTV) since March 8, 1995, involving the PCSO workforce consisting of more than 2,000 employees. The program consists of the drawing of both the parimutuel and fixed payout lottery games and the sweepstakes games. In November 15, 2017, it added the centralized draws of the Small Town Lottery (Pares, Swer3 and Swer2) for the provinces that did not conduct their own local STL draws.
