Overview
- The commemorative ticket was unveiled Tuesday at Lotería Nacional’s theater and 2.4 million cachitos are already on sale for Sorteo Superior No. 2885, which will be drawn on June 5.
- The draw will offer a top prize of 17 million pesos across two series and a total prize pool of 51 million pesos, officials said.
- Semarnat secretary Alicia Bárcena framed the release within a 'triple crisis' of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution and cited that Mexico produces roughly 140,000 tonnes of waste per day.
- Gabriela Cuevas, the government’s World Cup coordinator, said the ticket supports the 'México Juega Limpio' push to ban single‑use plastics, expand waste separation and increase recycling among residents and incoming fans.
- Officials and analysts expect the ticket to reach everyday spaces—markets, stalls and stores—as a low‑cost way to spread sustainability messages and to help reduce the extra waste pressure that major events like the 2026 World Cup can bring.
