How to Play Swertres (3D Lotto)
Rules, Bet Types & Draw Schedule
How the game works
-
1
Tickets are sold at authorised PCSO outlets.
PCSO sells only to people aged 18 and over.
-
2
A play consists of 3 digits.
Each digit is from 0 to 9, and digits may repeat.
Lucky Pick (LP) is an option where the terminal selects the numbers at random instead of the player choosing them.
-
3
Each play carries a bet type, which sets how the numbers must match.
-
4
A play costs ₱10.
Once printed, a ticket cannot be cancelled or changed, so the numbers, date and draw time are worth checking at the counter.
-
5
Draws are broadcast live, and results are published here shortly afterwards.
Bet types
Your numbers must come out in exactly the order you picked. Highest prize, longest odds.
₱4,500 per ₱10 play
Used when two of your three digits are the same. Wins in any order — 3 possible arrangements.
₱1,500 per ₱10 play
Used when all three digits are different. Wins in any order — 6 possible arrangements.
₱750 per ₱10 play
Rambolito costs the same per play but splits the prize across the extra winning arrangements. It is a trade of prize size for a better chance — not extra value.
