A bettor appeared to have won the lotto 20 times in one month, Senator Raffy Tulfo said, citing a list submitted by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.
Tulfo said the list was “eyebrow-raising.”
“The PCSO has given me a list of winners and what caught our attention is this one bettor who won 20 times in just one month. There’s another who won 10 times in one month,” the senator said.
“This creates more questions,” he added.
PCSO General Manager Mel Robles said the agency will look into Tulfo’s observation.
“I’ll have this information verified. We can investigate that. It’s not that hard to investigate that matter,” Robles said.
“We would like to assure you that you can never, never manipulate it…I take exception to allegations that we can let people win,” Robles added.
