MANILA - An official of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office said Saturday the agency has lost an estimated P13 billion in revenues as lotto outlets were shut over quarantine restrictions because

of the coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak.

“Most likely mga P13 billion ang nawala po na maaaring kinita ng aming ahensya mula noong nag-lockdown," said PCSO General Manager Royina Garma in the Laging Handa briefing on state TV.Lotto outlets have been closed since March when lockdowns were enforced as the country faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Garma said they have been preparing for the re-opening of lotto outlets where minimum health standards set by the government will be followed. Such resumption has yet to get approval.

PCSO is also mulling the use of “digital” means of betting to discourage people from lining up and buying tickets from physical outlets as quarantine measures remain. Metro Manila and some parts of Luzon considered as high-risk areas were under strict lockdown for about two months but shifted to general community quarantine on June 1.
