Join Por La Cultura for a fun-filled Lotería Night on April 2nd at 7 PM in Salvi Hall! Come play Lotería Bingo, a hugely popular bingo-esque game played in Mexico, with its origins in Spain and Italy.
“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.” (Villegas)
Come for the companionship and fun, stay to enjoy snacks, drinks, and music, and win awesome prizes! Bring your friends and experience a night of laughter, culture, and community.
Everyone is welcome—don’t miss out!
