The article details the forthcoming announcement of the winning numbers for the morning draw of the National Lottery, known locally as the Quiniela, happening on February 19. This popular game of chance is managed by the Buenos Aires Lottery, which does not have a jackpot but rather bases its prizes on the accuracy of the predictions by participants, capping payouts at five times the amount collected. Participants can place bets on numbers that range from one to four digits.

The Quiniela functions by utilizing a systematic draw that takes place in the Buenos Aires Lottery's facilities, employing four different machines (bolilleros). Each of these machines contributes to the creation of four-digit numbers, with each machine designated for a specific digit place: thousand, hundred, ten, and unit. The method allows for a structured selection of numbers, keeping the game organized and accessible for players across Argentina.

As one of the most popular forms of gambling in Argentina, the Quiniela engages many citizens, reflecting a cultural acceptance of lottery games as a commonplace entertainment option. With no jackpot, players are drawn to the gambling nature of the game, focusing on matching numbers to secure winnings based on predetermined odds. This widespread participation underscores the Quiniela's significance in Argentine society, both as a leisure activity and a potential financial boost for its players.
