Overview

  • Mexico’s Labor Ministry and Lotería Nacional, which unveiled the commemorative ticket Wednesday, linked it to International Workers’ Day and the country’s new workweek policy.
  • The design honors the Primavera Laboral and spotlights the gradual move from a 48‑hour to a 40‑hour standard workweek.
  • The Sorteo Superior No. 2882 draw is set for Friday, May 1 at 20:00, with a 51 million‑peso prize pool and a top prize of 17 million pesos across two series.
  • Lotería Nacional put 2.4 million tickets on sale nationwide and at miloteria.mx, and it will stream the draw live on its YouTube channel “Sorteos Tradicionales de la Lotería Nacional.”
  • Officials said the reform came from a collective effort and invoked past labor struggles, while the lottery chief added that “time is also a right,” signaling a human‑centered case for shorter hours.
