The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) donated a total of 2,000 ChariTimba or food buckets to two municipalities in the Bicol Region as part of its commitment to extend assistance to disaster-affected communities.
PCSO Director Jennifer Guevarra led the turnover ceremony on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at the PCSO Main Office in Mandaluyong City.
Director Guevarra handed over 1,000 food buckets to Mayor Mark Lozano of Santa Magdalena, Sorsogon, and another 1,000 to Vice Mayor Felix Macalino III of Sipocot, Camarines Sur.

The food aid was specifically allocated to families heavily affected by recent calamities. In Santa Magdalena, the prolonged rainfall that caused flash floods severely impacted farming communities, while in Sipocot, Typhoon Kristine left many households still struggling to recover from its aftermath last year.
In addition to the food packs, the PCSO awarded educational grants to 40 college students from the two municipalities. The grants aim to support young individuals from affected families in continuing their education despite the financial challenges brought about by these disasters.
Both Mayor Lozano and Vice Mayor Macalino expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the PCSO for the timely and significant assistance. According to them, these contributions will provide substantial relief to their constituents during these difficult times.
This initiative is part of the Agency’s commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Mandaluyong City – A lucky housewife from Bacoor City, Cavite has become the latest Super Lotto 6/49 jackpot winner, taking home a massive PHP 15,840,000.00 in the December 22, 2024 draw. The lucky winner claimed her winnings at the PCSO Main Office in Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, on December 23, 2024.
The winning ticket, purchased from a lotto outlet in Molino 4, Bacoor City, matched the winning combination: 21-10-13-31-07-18. These numbers were selected by randomly marking the bet slip without any specific pattern, which led to her win.
The winner, a 49-year-old housewife, expressed her disbelief and excitement upon hearing the news. She mentioned that she has been playing lotto for 26 years, mostly winning in the 2D and 4D Lotto games, but never in the big jackpot draws before.
"Never po akong nanalo ng mga major prizes gaya nito, not even po consolation prizes,” she shared. "Sobrang saya ko po ngayon at di pa rin makapaniwala kaya nagpapasalamat po ako kay Lord at sa PCSO."
The lucky winner plans to use her winnings to invest in business ventures and secure the future of her children by allocating funds for their education.
The PCSO reminded the public that in order to claim winnings, jackpot winners must present the original signed winning ticket and two valid government-issued IDs.
According to the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, prizes exceeding PHP 10,000.00 are subject to a 20% tax deduction. Winners are also required to claim their prizes within one year from the draw date; unclaimed prizes will be deposited into the PCSO Charity Fund.
Super Lotto 6/49 draws are held every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 9:00 PM and are broadcast live on IBC-13, D8TV, and the PCSO Games Online Hub Facebook page.
