How PCSO lotto prizes work
PCSO prize structures vary by game. The five pick-6 games have a rolling jackpot plus lower match tiers; 2D and 3D use fixed payouts by play type; 4D and 6D publish draw-specific top prizes. Check the current amount and official rules for your exact game before buying.
PCSO prize structures differ by game: pick-6 jackpots roll, 2D and 3D use fixed payouts, and 4D and 6D publish draw-specific top prizes.
| Games | Winning rule | Prize structure |
|---|---|---|
| Lotto 6/42, Mega 6/45, Super 6/49, Grand 6/55, Ultra 6/58 | Match 3, 4, 5, or all 6 numbers | Lower tiers plus a rolling, shareable jackpot |
| 2D and 3D Lotto | Straight or eligible Rambolito match | Fixed payout by game and play type |
| 4D 乐透 | Four digits in exact order for the top prize | Draw-specific published top prize |
| 6D 乐透 | Six digits in exact order for the top prize | Draw-specific published top prize |
From smaller matches to the top prize
- Pick-6 lower tiers: eligible matches of three, four, or five numbers pay below the jackpot tier
- Digit-game tiers: 2D and 3D have fixed play-type payouts; 4D and 6D top amounts are draw-specific
- Pick-6 jackpot: match all six numbers; multiple winning tickets can share the applicable jackpot
Why jackpot amounts change
A jackpot changes after wins, rollovers, and ticket sales. When nobody matches all six, the top prize carries into the next scheduled draw. Use the current amount for the upcoming draw, not an old result or social-media post.
What happens after a win
The ticket is checked against the official result and the rules for that game. Smaller eligible prizes can be claimed on your behalf through Lotto.Works; larger prizes follow the official PCSO claim path. Applicable tax and disclosed fees come out of the prize, never as an upfront payment.
常见问题
What are the PCSO lotto prizes?
The five pick-6 games have rolling jackpots and lower match tiers. 2D and 3D use fixed payouts by eligible play type, while 4D and 6D publish draw-specific top-prize amounts that can change.
Do PCSO jackpot prizes roll over?
Yes. When nobody matches all six numbers in a jackpot game, the top prize carries into the next scheduled draw and can grow. The current figure should be checked before each entry.
Are 2D and 3D Lotto prizes fixed?
Yes. The payout depends on the game and whether you chose Straight or an eligible Rambolito play. The current amount is shown before you confirm a ticket.
Is a jackpot divided when several tickets win?
The applicable jackpot can be shared when more than one valid ticket matches all six numbers. Check the official result and prize breakdown for that draw.
How long do I have to claim a PCSO lotto prize?
PCSO prizes must be claimed within one year of the draw date. Start promptly, especially for a large prize that follows the official claim process.
Do I pay a fee before receiving a lotto prize?
No. Applicable tax and any disclosed service fees are deducted from the prize itself. A request to send money upfront to release winnings is a scam warning.
