Mexico's national lottery distributed $834.27 to each of 368 players who matched all five winning numbers in the Chispazo Clásico draw on Saturday, November 7, 2026. The winning combination for draw number 12358 was 04, 07, 12, 18, and 22.

Chispazo operates without a guaranteed minimum prize pool. Instead, the total amount available for distribution relies entirely on ticket sales accumulated for that specific drawing. Players select a combination of five, six, or up to seven numbers from a range of one to 28. A player wins a prize by matching at least two of the numbers selected by the machine, though the top prize requires matching all five.

The lottery holds Chispazo drawings twice daily, at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., in Mexico City time. To enter, participants purchase a ticket at a local sales outlet. A single ticket allows a player to submit up to five different combinations. If a player uses fewer than five slots, they mark the unused boxes as NULO to indicate they are not active entries.

The national lottery also operates a separate game called Tris, which is designed to be more accessible with lower entry costs. Players can start betting with as little as one Mexican peso. In Tris, participants choose one to five digits. The lottery machine selects five random numbers to form a five-digit sequence. A player wins if their chosen digits match the drawn sequence in the exact same order.

Tris draws occur five times each day. The first drawing, Tris Medio día, takes place at 1 p.m. Mexico City time. Subsequent drawings follow at 3 p.m. for Tris de las Tres, 5 p.m. for Tris Extra, 7 p.m. for Tris de las Siete, and 9 p.m. for Tris Clásico.

Ticket holders can now purchase lottery tickets online through various secure platforms, eliminating the need to visit a physical location. These digital services allow users to select their numbers and pay electronically. Upon purchase, the player receives a digital copy of the ticket, which can be printed or saved to a mobile device.

Prize claims for any amount must be processed at the Lotería Nacional offices located at Av. Insurgentes Sur No. 1397, Col. Insurgentes Mixcoac, in the Benito Juárez district of Mexico City. Winners must visit the office the day after the drawing takes place to begin the claim process. Players have 60 calendar days from the date of the draw to collect their winnings.

Smaller prizes up to $9,999.99 can be redeemed at direct sales agencies or retail outlets. Awards of $3,000 or more can also be claimed at specific banks, including Santander S.A., Scotiabank Inverlat S.A., and BBVA México. The 60-day claim period applies to all prize tiers, regardless of the amount won.
