I would still prefer the Government to control lottery. I think we've had enough privatizations in the last few decades and we already know the consequences. The ban has been lifted already by the way.

I prefer it will still be on the government side but prefer the President himself should appoint the new ones or those that he prefers that will run it with ease and out of greed and graft. One thing I don't want to happen is to stop operation they do to help people through them, they help a lot of people and I guess my family been the one of those during the days my aunt are undergoing on chemotherapy.

Government would be best because we don't feel we are just purely gambling, we gamble with a cause which is to hep the government programs of the country.

Let's talk about first what the Government of the Philippines has done. They had stopped the operations of the Lottery, why is that? AFAIK, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office has massive corruption inside it and imagine that it should be for charity but the ones benefiting from it are the employees working there. Imagine if the top person is scamming funds, the people below them will follow as well. So it's better to get to the top of things and just seize the operation. I would still be in favor of a government running the lottery and mainly, the charity should be the ones benefitting. The people who really are in need. I hope the ones on top would do the right thing. Just like other people have said, the operations continued. Referenceshttps://news.abs-cbn.com/news/07/31/19/lotto-draws-resume-wednesday-says-pcso

Private or public are i think both the same because if its private , the officials can fully pocket the money because they arent monitored anymore and if its a government based , there will always be a corrupt official that will pocket some of those cash and will only remit the 1/2 or th 3/4ths of the collected funds . however government based have some benefits in which they provide help for the poor using some of those funds but private is i think dont have any benefit from others

If this is private there is no corruption because the government is only after the tax they will get in this profitable business, but since it's the government that is running their own lottery, it's expected that corruption exist because in general, politics in the Philippines are corrupt and that's the reason why it was temporary halted. What the Philippine government should do is to impose a strict penalty on corrupt officials, a death penalty maybe harsh but if that will solve a rampant corruption, I would not be against it.

Whichever one has the highest return to player rate and actually pays out.
If there are private lotteries that have lower operating costs and can give more back to the players, why not use them over some state-sponsored scam?
Most states have rules that ensure only the state can run lotteries, which is basically monopolizing the gambling industry. Not something I support.

My reason is if the ph lottery goes under the private company possible to stop allocate charity funds to help the poor people hospital assistance.

I really hope that with the suspension being already lifted, they have learned something—do the right thing and not tolerate corruption and illegal gambling. They must serve their function without anomalies to prove that they are with the President's battle against corruption (as what they have stated). After all, they are there for the charities, and those people who are in great need; not to make rich people richer and poor people become poorer.

Unfortunately both private and government - run lotteries can be rigged. If you go on the path of not trusting them, you'll distrust them all. I think that most important is the history. If it has a pretty good history of big wins, where the winners are indeed independent from the ones running the lottery, then it should be okay.
(And I 100% disagree about the statement that government run lotteries' money help the country; usually that doesn't happen, or it doesn't matter.)

I guess it boils down as to where the profits its going, if its on the pocket on government officials then it's better to give it to the private sector so that there will be no corruption. But how about organisations that are dependent on the profits? So its a dilemma, the President of the Philippines should really rid itself of corruption inside the gaming industry but not totally give to private companies, just saying.

If you look at the entirety, it doesn't really help the county as majority of the bettors are coming from the poor people whom I think they don't have excess amount for gambling in lottery since poverty rate in the Philippines is also high. The government are getting funds from poor people to help the poor people, that doesn't makes sense IMO.

The government takes a huge cut and they don't spend the collected money on what they said. We need a more fair system without a person that takes a large cut off the pool. This could easily be set up as a world wide crypto lottery with fair odds.

The time has come that my wishes has come true, investigating the illicit activities inside the lottery would make it better if it re-opens again with no corrupt employees inside.

The government would be the best choice if you want the lottery to be more transparent since there are some problems that would rise up if another private sector would own a lottery. Some people might think a monopoly if another company owns it because we all know how much money does a lottery owns just by looking at the said jackpot prizes.

I would prefer that the government still hold lotteries. It is still better than letting some private corporation control the prices of the tickets and where proceeds should go. The government are getting funds from poor people to help the poor people, that doesn't makes sense IMO.
It's not like people are being duped by the government to give their money though. They aren't forced to join.

Government or state lottery would be better but the ones who do handle such area should really be corrupt-free which means it do needs some people who are worthy on said position.
If the president do see corruption in regards to this then it was just a right decision for it to be stopped but somehow it do have some consequences yet we know on how does PCSO works when it comes to helping indigenous people.

I think it is better to let the private company run a private lottery without any interfering from the government because they can get people by inviting them using many ways. Besides that, they can hide the gambling places from the government. But it is better if the government knows about their activity so the government can control the lottery system and they will make sure there is no cheat in the game.
