Mexico Lottery Games

Lotteries have a long and storied history in Mexico, with the first game being launched in 1984. A variety of lotteries and secondary games are now available across the country, giving lottery enthusiasts multiple opportunities to win prizes throughout the week.

All of Mexico’s lottery games are run by Pronosticos, a Government-run department responsible for the distribution of public funds across the country.

Chispazo

Chispazo is a popular twice-daily lottery game, with players having 14 chances to win prizes throughout the week. Entry costs just MXN 10.

Players must choose five numbers from 1 to 28 or go for a “Chispático” for numbers chosen at random. System entry is available for players who want to increase their chances of winning, with the option to choose six or seven numbers and enter the draw with multiple combinations.

The Chispazo jackpot rolls down if not won, so secondary prize winners have the opportunity to see their winnings grow significantly if no-one claims the jackpot.

Due to its nature as a twice-daily game, Chispazo has no secondary games.
