San Juan’s Social Action Fund reported that foreign lottery games awarded a total of 1,127,831,146 Argentine pesos, equivalent to USD 758,643, during the first half of 2026. This increase is primarily driven by higher bet values, while the number of bettors remains at historically normal levels.
Nominal Growth Without More Players
According to Rolando Tello, Games Manager at the CAS, the growth is nominal and does not reflect an increase in bettor participation. Sales have held steady despite increases in bet values, particularly in Telekino, Quini 6, and Loto.
The weekly average of prizes awarded ranges between 3 and 5 million Argentine pesos.
Unclaimed Prizes and Their Distribution
During the analyzed period, unclaimed prizes totaling 89,034,925 Argentine pesos were registered, representing approximately 2% due to expiration. These funds are distributed equally: 50% goes to general revenue and the remaining 50% to credits from the Social Action Fund itself.
Games Included in the Report
- Telekino
- Loto
- Quini 6
- Brinco
These foreign lottery games continue to be popular options among San Juan bettors, although the regional inflationary environment may be influencing bet amount behavior without translating into a proportional increase in participant numbers.
