1858 Spanish Philippines Lottery REAL LOTERIA FILIPINA  16 Abril 4 Reales

History of the Philippine Lottery Tickets

Historically, lotteries have been in existence in the Philippines as early as 1833. Under the auspices of private enterprises called Empresa de Reales Loteria Espanolas de Filipinas , the Spanish Government conducted loterias to generate revenues. In fact, our own national hero Dr. Jose Rizal won Php 6,200.00 in the draw of 1892, while on exile in Dapitan. He donated his winnings to an educational project. This altruistic act gives an inkling of what could be done if the lottery was harnessed for charitable and social welfare projects. With the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution, the Loteria was forced to stop operations.
