Duterte Lifts Ban on PCSO KENO & Scratch-It Games

Recently, PCSO issued a notice on their Facebook page informing the public that the Keno game and instant sweepstakes (scratch-it) resume effective on Saturday. The announcement came after President Duterte lifts the suspension.
The agency explained that the move is based on the pursuant to the directive of President Duterte. Ticket sale and draw for the following games resumes today (September 28) after a two-month suspension.
Players could spend a minimum amount of P12 to play Keno Lotto Express and could win as much as ₱1 million. Instant Sweepstakes involved scratching a ticket to reveal a winning patters and could win up to P500,000.
