The Santa Fe lottery, or 'Quiniela', is one of Argentina's most popular gambling games, organized by the province's lottery since 1982. The First draw, along with additional draws such as the Vespertina and Matutina, has evolved over the years and features increased payout rates. Every Wednesday, participants eagerly await the results of the First draw, which is part of a series of lotteries conducted four times daily from Monday to Saturday.

The Quiniela game allows players to bet on numbers ranging from one to four digits, offering various ways to engage with the lottery. The province of Santa Fe has structured its lottery with multiple draws throughout the day, with specific times set for each one, accommodating different playing styles and preferences. This daily routine fosters a sense of anticipation among locals, as they check the results and hope to win.

As one of the main forms of entertainment and gambling in Argentina, the Quiniela contributes significantly to local culture. Events like these not only engage participants but also support provincial revenues through lottery sales. The results of each draw are highly publicized, and the accessibility of the game and its social aspect make it an enduring staple in the Argentine lifestyle.
