Games, best jackpot odds first

Shorter odds are not automatically better value — shorter-odds games pay smaller top prizes. Cost per unit of chance (price × odds) is the cleanest single comparison.

Tax on winnings in Philippines

Under the TRAIN Law, PCSO lotto and sweepstakes prizes above ₱10,000 are subject to a 20% final tax on the whole prize, withheld by PCSO before payout. Prizes of ₱10,000 or less are exempt, and the withheld tax is final — no further declaration is required.
