Lotería is a traditional Mexican game of chance, similar to bingo, but using images on cards instead of numbered balls. Each player has a board (tabla) with a 4x4 grid of images. A caller draws cards from a shuffled deck, announcing each image, sometimes with a descriptive phrase or riddle. Players mark the corresponding image on their boards, typically using items like beans or coins. The first player to complete a predetermined pattern, such as a row, column, diagonal, or specific shape, and shouts "¡Lotería!" wins the game.
The origins of Lotería trace back to 15th-century Italy. The game journeyed to Spain and was introduced to Mexico in 1769. Initially, it was a pastime for the elite but gradually became a popular tradition across all social classes at Mexican fairs. In 1887, French entrepreneur Don Clemente Jacques created the "Lotería El Gallo," the most traditional format of the game played today.
