In 1999, the eastern city of cebu City smashed the record by posting 120 million peso (US$16 million) in sales in a single day.

In April 1994, Philippines created a sport lottery. The two lotteries were soon competing to attract more customers. The newcomer was boosted in October 2001 when philippines's football team qualified for the Asian games which saw sport lottery sales rocket to 238 million peso (US$32 million) in eight rounds.
