Overview
- Lottery authorities verified that one Quini 6 Revancha ticket sold at Agency No. 464 in Palmira was one of two winners of the ARS 3.310 billion Revancha jackpot and that a Loto Plus Desquite ticket sold at Agency No. 1265 in Diamante won ARS 1.042 billion.
- Agency owner Óscar Montes de Oca said he was notified in the early hours and expects roughly ARS 2.3 billion to reach the Palmira winner after statutory retentions, while his agency would receive about 1% commission.
- Diamante owner Zulma Riquelme identified her winner as a regular customer and said the player was shaken but joyful after being told the prize, with the net payout for that ticket estimated at about ARS 850 million after withholdings.
- Both agencies have become focal points for media attention and local speculation, with Palmira still protecting the Quini winner’s anonymity and residents debating security and privacy for large prize claimants.
- Beyond immediate payouts and commissions, these wins highlight how Argentina’s tax and withholding rules substantially reduce gross jackpots and how small retailers can see short-term economic and social effects from selling major tickets.
