3D Lotto(swertres) Rules

How to Play

  • You must be at least 18 years old to play.
  • Select one number from 0 to 9 in each of the three columns, forming a 3‑digit number. You can also choose Lucky Pick (LP) for a random number.
  • Each 3‑digit combination costs ₱10.00 (inclusive of 20% Documentary Stamp Tax).
  • You may play the same numbers for up to 6 consecutive draws by marking the number of draws in the DRAW panel.

Standard Play

  • You win by matching all three numbers in exact order with the drawn numbers.
  • Prize: ₱4,500.00 per ₱10.00 play.

Rambolito Play

  • If you select a 3‑digit combination and choose Rambolito, the system generates all possible permutations of your chosen digits.
  • Winning does not require exact order; you win if your digits match the drawn digits in any order.
  • Prize depends on the digit pattern:
Combination PatternNumber of PermutationsPrize (per ₱10.00 play)
3 different digits (e.g. 123)6₱750.00
1 pair + 1 different digit (e.g. 122)3₱1,500.00

| Note: If all three digits are the same (e.g. 111), Rambolito is not available because only one permutation exists.
