菲律宾慈善抽奖办公室（PCSO）正式推出其电子乐透计划，允许投注者通过在线投注参与乐透游戏。该计划基于名为“E-Lotto”的网络应用程序投注平台。试运行期为一年。E-Lotto是传统彩票游戏的在线购彩平台，旨在为菲律宾人提供安全、现代且易于使用的彩票投注体验。

这对PCSO的影响预计将是巨大的。PCSO预计新的在线购买彩平台将使投注者基础比目前水平增加一倍。目前，大约有100万菲律宾人在任何一天的任何一场比赛中进行彩票投注，在全国各地的乐透销售点和售票亭，购彩人都要花几分钟的时间排队等待。

Meanwhile, PCSO will offer lucky bettors a total prize of over P1 billion for the Grand Lotto 6/55 and Ultra Lotto 6/58 games after increasing the minimum guaranteed amount of jackpot prizes to P500 million.

PCSO General Manager Mel Robles told reporters at a press conference in Pasig City: “E-Lotto is an important milestone for PCSO as we embrace the digital age and meet the ever-changing needs of players. “During the year-long trial period, players can place bets online and receive winnings electronically. “With eLottery, players can now place their bets conveniently, choose their lucky numbers, and win exciting cash prizes from the comfort of their own home,” said Robles. He said that E-Lotto’s main goal is to provide players with convenience, security and transparency. At the same time, the accessibility of online platforms will attract more domestic and international players, thereby increasing revenue for charitable activities and ultimately improving the lives of millions of people across the country.

E-Lotto的主要优势之一是它能够遏制非法在线彩票游戏的泛滥，并确保收入汇入政府金库，为国家进步做出贡献。玩家可以通过PCSO网站访问E-Lotto（www.PCSO.gov.ph），通过扫描提供的二维码并完成注册流程。

明年，E-Lotto应用程序将可在Google Play和iOS平台上下载。目前的支付方式是Gcash，目前正在就引入其他第三方网关支付（例如银行和电子钱包）进行洽谈。

菲律宾推出在线彩票，其标志着菲律宾彩票业进入了新的数字化时代。这个创新的在线平台预计将改变菲律宾彩票市场的面貌，为玩家提供更简单、更安全、更便捷的彩票投注体验，同时也为政府带来更多的收入，用于支持各种社会和慈善项目。
