This edition of the lottery, themed "Hecho en México," celebrated the quality and value of Mexican products while distributing a total of 51,833,200 pesos in prizes among participating tickets.
With 60,000 tickets numbered from 00001 to 60000, the event showcased the excitement of thousands of hopeful participants. The draw took place at 20:00 hours in the Salón de Sorteos del Edificio Moro, where the results determined the winners of a staggering 12,896 prizes and refunds, which included 700 direct prizes and 12,196 refunds.

For those who purchased a 'cachito'—the lottery ticket costing 40 pesos—the maximum possible win was 425,000 pesos if their number matched the grand prize. Participants who opted for a full series, consisting of 20 cachitos priced at 800 pesos, could win up to 8.5 million pesos.

Notably, the lottery prizes in Mexico are subject to a Federal tax of 1%, along with a varying State tax depending on the winner's location. This aspect is crucial for winners to consider as they plan their celebrations.
The excitement surrounding the Sorteo Superior has made it a favorite among lottery enthusiasts, providing not just potential wealth but also a sense of community and hope. As participants eagerly await the results, many are left wondering where the winning tickets were sold. According to reports, series one of the winning number 10308 was sold in Hermosillo, Sonora, while series two was available in Mexico City.
In addition to the grand prize, the distribution of other prizes was designed to ensure that a significant number of participants walked away with rewards. The draw included a variety of prize categories, from direct awards to refunds based on matching the last digits of winning numbers.
While the excitement of the draw has subsided, the Lotería Nacional encourages winners to verify their tickets against official results available on their website. Winners can claim their prizes at the Lotería Nacional's headquarters located in Plaza de la República No. 117, Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc, Ciudad de México. The office is open from Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 13:00 hours, for those claiming larger prizes. Smaller prizes under 9,999 pesos can be collected directly from authorized ticket vendors or official outlets across the country.
The event not only highlights the thrill of winning but also promotes the importance of supporting local products and businesses through the "Hecho en México" initiative. This campaign resonates deeply with many Mexicans, fostering national pride and encouraging consumers to choose local goods.
As the Lotería Nacional continues to operate its draws, participants are reminded of the importance of responsible gaming. While the allure of winning large sums can be enticing, it's essential to play within one's means and approach the lottery as a form of entertainment rather than a guaranteed source of income.
The next edition of the Sorteo Superior is already generating buzz, with many eager to try their luck again. The thrill of the draw, combined with the chance to win life-changing amounts, ensures that the Lotería Nacional remains a staple of Mexican culture.
Stay tuned for future draws and remember to check the official lottery website for updates and results. The Lotería Nacional is committed to transparency and accessibility, ensuring that all participants have the opportunity to verify their winnings and understand the rules of the game.
