About This Item

Jose Guadalupe Posada. Loteria. [Mexico]: Vanegas Arroyo. [Circa 1900]. Broadside. 30 cm x 33 cm.

OCLC shows one holding (Iberio Amerk. Instit.) Ohio State also has a copy. SMU has two lottery game boards by Posada but not separately described. First row: burro, borrego, caballo, imprenta de Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, estrella. Pictorial game with 20 illustrations of animals and objects with printed words in Spanish or Náhuatl. The game of Lotería, often referred to as "Mexican Bingo" was among the most popular games of chance in Mexico; although it persists until the present day, the game has given a more educational and ludic purpose.

The game is similar to the American Bingo, however, they differ substantially on the way that the numbers or cards are given. In Bingo an announcer calls out the selected letters and numbers, such as "B-4" and the players mark their game boards accordingly. In Lotería, the announcer gives an improvised short poem or familiar phrase alluding to the image on the card (e.g. "the coat for the poor" for the image of the sun, or "the one who dies by the mouth" for the image of the fish). Each player uses a chip -often a kernel of corn or a bean-to mark the corresponding spot on his or her tabla. In either game, the first player to appropriately fill the game board or tabla in a predefined pattern will shout either "Bingo!" or "Lotería!" to win the game and receive the prize.
