Administration Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III pressed for a Senate inquiry amid brewing suspicions tainting the credibility of the result of the 6/55 Grand Lotto with 433 bettors winning the P236 million jackpot.

Paving the way for an inquiry in aid of remedial legislation, the senator filed Senate Resolution No. 253 to assess the “integrity and trustworthiness” of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office .

The Pimentel resolution also cited “the common criticism leveled by the betting public against the lotto is the lack of transparency.” Pimentel stressed in the resolution, “The success of lotto games rely on their integrity for the successful raising of funds for health programs, medical assistance and services and charities of national character.”

Pimentel reminded that the recent result of the 6/55 Grand Lotto “is a contender for the Guinness Book of World Records” after 433 winners won the P236 million jackpot.
