The Quiniela Nacional, now known as the Ciudad Quiniela, is one of the most cherished betting games in Argentina, organized by the Lottery of Buenos Aires City. Unlike other lotteries, the Quiniela does not have a prize pool but determines winnings based on the number of correct guesses, with a maximum payout limit of five times the amount collected. Players can place bets on one-digit, two-digit, three-digit, or four-digit numbers, making it accessible to a wide range of participants.

The draw for the Quiniela Nacional occurs in specific halls of the Lottery of Buenos Aires City, utilizing a system that involves four different tumbler machines. Each machine represents a digit place—thousands, hundreds, tens, and units. Players eagerly await the results, as the draw not only influences potential payouts but also feeds into the cultural engagement and local interest in gambling activities. This system emphasizes the excitement surrounding lottery games in Argentina and their impact on social interactions.
