Colombians eagerly awaited the results of Saturday’s lotteries – Lotería de Boyacá, Lotería del Cauca, and Baloto – with a combined prize pool exceeding 21 billion pesos. The draws, a long-standing tradition in the country, offer a chance at life-changing sums for those who endeavor their luck. This year’s draws were particularly anticipated, fueled by stories of previous winners and the enduring hope for financial opportunity.
The Lotería de Boyacá, known for its slogan “un sábado de pobre lo sacará” (a Saturday can lift someone from poverty), was the first to announce its results. The winning number was 6924, from series 282, securing a grand prize of 15 billion pesos. The draw was broadcast live on Canal Trece, as well as via Facebook Live and YouTube Live, allowing a wide audience to witness the event.
Shortly after, the Lotería del Cauca revealed its winning number: 8606, from series 057, awarding a substantial 5.555 billion peso jackpot. This lottery too concluded its proceedings around 11:00 PM local time.
Rounding out the evening, the Baloto draw announced its numbers: 16 – 25 – 41 – 07 – 42, with a Superbalota of 08. A second set of Baloto numbers were also drawn: 38 – 24 – 37 – 40 – 42, with a Superbalota of 07. The Baloto, played on Wednesdays and Saturdays, offers a different format, requiring players to select five numbers from one to 42, plus a Superbalota number from one to 19.

This flexibility caters to different risk tolerances and budgets.
