The recent draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s (PCSO) 3-digit game SwerTres on Tuesday, February 27, encountered an unexpected glitch. According to the PCSO, one of the draw machines failed to capture one of the winning lottery balls, causing concern among participants and the public.
To address the issue promptly, the PCSO’s technical team swiftly switched to a standby machine. This glitch, while unfortunate, is not the first time such an incident has occurred. However, the PCSO wants to assure the public that they are well-prepared for unexpected events like this, thanks to their established ISO-approved protocols.
PCSO General Manager Melquiades “Mel” Robles emphasized the rarity of such incidents, stating, “For this thing to happen is very remote. But we are prepared and we assure the public that our commitment to a transparent, fair, and authentic lottery game will never waver, and is as strong as ever.”
The SwerTres game, known for its popularity and attractive prizes, offers a grand prize of P4,500 per winning ticket. In the 2 p.m. draw on Tuesday, the winning combination was 0-9-7, in exact order.
While the glitch may have raised concerns among participants, it is important to note that the PCSO’s commitment to transparency and fairness remains unwavering. The PCSO is an organization entrusted with the responsibility of conducting lottery games that provide financial support for various charitable projects and initiatives across the Philippines.
