Greetings!
Your request

This pertains to your Freedom of Information (FOI) request dated 04 January 2024 on the request for total number of lotto bettors per game. 
 
Response to your request

Please be informed that we are unable to provide the number of lotto bettors for the Ultra Lotto 6/58, Grand Lotto 6/55, Super Lotto 6/49, Mega Lotto 6/45 and Lotto 6/42 games for the period CY 2020 up to September 30, 2023, as the previous lottery systems of the PCSO, are already inactive since the implementation of the new unified PCSO Lottery System (PLS) last October 01, 2023. 

Relative to this, we have requested the lottery system provider of the PCSO to provide the information on the number of tickets sold for the above stated lotto games since October 01, 2023. However, per information from the system provider, due to the volume of data that needs to be reprocessed, the PLTC estimated that it will take at least a month to provide the requested information of Ms. Malubay. We will coordinate with you once our system provider provides your requested information.
