The Melate draw takes place in the evening, usually around 9:00 p.m. (central Mexico time), on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. The results become available shortly afterward, so you can check your ticket that same night. Below we answer the most common questions about the Melate schedule.
What time is the Melate draw?
Melate is drawn on the night of each draw day, typically close to 9:00 p.m., in central Mexico time. The exact time can vary slightly depending on the broadcast, so it is a good idea to confirm with the official source. As soon as the draw ends, the six winning numbers and the bonus number are published, and you can look them up in the Melate results guide.
What days is Melate played?
There are three draws per week: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Revancha and Revanchita are also drawn in the same event, and they are played with the same numbers from your Melate ticket.
Until what time can I buy my ticket?
Ticket sales close a little before each draw. To take part in that night's draw, it is best to buy early in the day; once sales close, your ticket goes into the next available draw. Always confirm the cut-off time with the point of sale or the official channel.
What time do the results come out?
The results are published shortly after the draw, the same night. On MelateBot, every draw has its own page with the winning numbers, the bonus number and the jackpot; you can view it that same night or look it up later in the draw archive.
What about Melate Retro?
The Melate Retro has its own calendar: it is drawn on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with a format of 6 numbers from 1 to 39. If you play Retro, remember that its days and time are different from those of Melate.
How to plan your week around the Melate schedule
Because Melate runs three nights a week, many players set a simple routine: buy a ticket during the day, then check the results the same evening. If you miss a draw, the next one is never more than a couple of days away, since the Wednesday, Friday and Sunday rhythm spreads the draws evenly across the week. Keeping this calendar in mind also helps if you follow the accumulated jackpot, which rolls over to the following draw whenever no one matches all six numbers.
One ticket, three chances the same night
A single Melate ticket can enter all three games on draw night: Melate, Revancha and Revanchita. Because they all share the same numbers, you only check one combination, but you may win in more than one of them. This is part of the Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública family of games, and it is why a Melate evening is worth watching from the main draw through to Revanchita.
Plan ahead for each week of draws
Because Melate is played three nights a week —Wednesday, Friday and Sunday— it helps to have a simple plan instead of deciding at the last minute. Before the week starts you can choose which nights you want to play and set a reminder to buy your ticket during the day, without rushing. Just as important is deciding in advance how much you want to spend on tickets that week and sticking to that limit: Melate is a game of chance and is best treated as entertainment, never as a way to make money. Keeping a fixed budget makes the routine calmer and easier to enjoy.
- Set your weekly budget before the first draw and do not exceed it.
- Mark Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights on your calendar.
- Buy early so you do not depend on the sales cut-off.
- If you always play the same numbers, write them down so you do not rely on memory.
- Convert the time to your local zone if you are not in central Mexico.
The schedule is central Mexico time
When we say the draw is at night, around 21:00, we mean central Mexico time, which is the official reference for the broadcast. If you live in a state with a different time zone or you are outside the country, convert that time to your local time so you do not miss the live draw or the publication of the results. A practical approach is to set your reminder directly in your own zone's time, using the central-Mexico evening as the basis. Both the broadcast and the results follow that same calendar, so a single reference orients you for all three draws of the week. The published time does not change based on where you play from: it is always central Mexico time.
Buy your ticket early in the day
Sales close a little before each draw, so leaving it to the last moment is risky. The most convenient thing is to buy early, at an authorized point of sale or through an official channel, and keep your ticket or receipt safe. When you receive it, check that your numbers and draw days are printed correctly; that slip is the proof you will need if you win. If it is your first time, review how to play Melate first so you fill in your ticket correctly. Buying calmly also leaves you time to confirm the cut-off time with the point of sale itself.
What to do as soon as the draw ends
As soon as the draw finishes and the numbers are published, the first thing is to check your ticket calmly that same night. Compare your combination with the winning numbers and the additional number, and remember to also check Revancha and Revanchita, because they are played with the same numbers and you could win in more than one game. You can do that check on the draw page within our results guide. Keep your ticket in good condition and do not discard it until you confirm the result: it is the proof you need to claim any prize. If you win, remember that prizes are paid through official channels and within a limited period, so it is best not to delay; check with the official source where and how to claim depending on the amount.
