Tómbola Santiagueña
Tómbola Santiagueña is a popular tombola game that is available in Argentina’s Santiago province.
Draws are held four times a day from Monday to Friday, at 11:30, 14:00, 17:30 and 22:30 local time.
Players can choose their own stake, as well as how they wish to play.
Players select four numbers between 0 and 9, with it possible to select each number up to four times if they wish. Other entry options include the choice of one, two or three numbers and the need to match them in the correct order and position during the draw.
Players should note that the way they play influences how many opportunities there are to win.
For example, each Tómbola Santiagueña draw sees 20 four-digit numbers drawn. Players who bet on matching all four digits in order can win if any one of the 20 four-digit numbers match their own. In contrast, players who bet on matching three digits, only win from the first 15 numbers drawn, with those who bet on matching two digits, only winning from the first 10 numbers drawn, while players who bet on matching just one number in the correct position, only win from the first 5 numbers drawn.
Jackpot
The Tómbola Santiagueña jackpot is fixed at 3,000 times the player stake for players betting on matching all four digits in the correct order.
Tómbola Santiagueña prizes for players betting on matching 1 to 3 numbers are as follows:
- 600 times the stake for players who match three numbers in the correct order during the 11:30 and 14:00 draws, and 500 times the stake for players who do so during the 17:30 and 22:00 draws.
- 70 times the stake for players who match two numbers in the order drawn during any draw.
- 7 times the stake for players who match one number in the correct order during any draw.
Due to the format of Tómbola Santiagueña, there are no jackpot rollovers or prize rolldowns.
