To check your Melate ticket, compare the 6 numbers you picked (from 1 to 56) against the 6 winning numbers of the draw; the order does not matter, only how many match. You win a prize starting from 2 matches, and the categories go all the way up to 6 matches, which take the top jackpot. Some categories also take the bonus number into account. If you played Revancha or Revanchita, those draws use your same 6 numbers but are drawn separately and without a bonus number. Always keep your physical ticket in good condition, because it is the proof you need to claim a prize. Below we explain step by step how to check your ticket without making a mistake.
Step by step: how to check your Melate ticket
Checking a Melate ticket is simple if you follow an order. The important thing is to compare calmly and not to dismiss small prizes, because they count too.
- Find your 6 numbers. Your ticket shows the 6 numbers from 1 to 56 you played in each bet. A single ticket can include several bets, so review each line separately.
- Look up the winning numbers. Get the 6 winning numbers and the bonus number for the corresponding draw. You can see them on our Melate Results page or directly in the results section.
- Count the matches. Mark how many of your numbers appear among the winners. Remember that the order does not matter: the only thing that counts is how many match.
- Check the bonus number. In some categories, matching the bonus number along with a certain count of main numbers improves your prize.
- Verify Revancha and Revanchita. If you played them, compare the same 6 numbers against each draw, remembering that those draws do not use a bonus number.
If you do not remember exactly how the bets are filled out, it is a good idea to first review our How to Play Melate guide to understand what each part of your ticket represents.
The order of the numbers does not matter
This is the most common doubt when checking a ticket: many people believe they have to match the numbers in the same position in which they came out. That is not the case. In Melate you pick 6 numbers from 1 to 56 and, when comparing, only how many of your numbers are among the 6 winners matters, regardless of the order in which they appear. If you played 3, 11, 24, 29, 40 and 52, and those six came out in any sequence, you have 6 matches.
The bonus number is the only piece with special treatment: it is drawn separately and is used to define certain prize categories, not the top prize of 6 matches.
The Melate prize categories
Melate pays prizes in several categories depending on how many numbers you match. From highest to lowest, it recognizes 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 matches, and some categories also consider combinations with the bonus number. So you do not need to match all six to win something: with 2 matches you already enter the prize table.
What does change in each draw is the amount of each category. The amounts are not fixed: they depend on the draw and on the number of winners sharing that category, so the same number of matches may pay differently from one date to another. The category of 6 matches corresponds to the jackpot, the top prize at stake. If you want to understand how that prize grows, read about the accumulated Melate jackpot.
And if I played Revancha or Revanchita
Revancha and Revanchita are optional draws played with the same 6 numbers from your Melate ticket, also from 1 to 56, but without a bonus number. Each one has its own jackpot and its own independent draw, so a single ticket may not win in Melate yet win in Revancha, or the other way around. That is why it is worth checking the three lists of winning numbers separately.
Where to check the winning numbers
Melate draws are held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, around 9:00 p.m. central Mexico time. After each draw you can check the six winning numbers and the bonus number in our results section and in the Melate Results article, where you will find the data organized by draw date.
Melate is part of the official offering of Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública. MelateBot is an informational site and is not affiliated with Pronósticos: here we help you compare and understand your ticket, but the official source for paying and validating prizes is always the institution.
Keep your ticket: it is your proof
The physical ticket is the proof of your participation. Even if you verify online that you have a prize, you need the original ticket in good condition to claim it. Some practical recommendations:
- Keep it in a dry, flat place, away from heat or humidity that could erase the print.
- Do not fold it excessively or leave it exposed to the elements; an illegible ticket complicates validation.
- Write down the draw date and check that it matches the list of winning numbers you look up.
- If you share the bet with family or friends, agree beforehand on who safeguards the ticket.
Deadlines to claim your prize
If your ticket won, do not leave it forgotten: lottery prizes usually have a deadline to be collected starting from the draw date. The exact deadline and the collection procedure are defined by Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública, and they may vary depending on the prize amount and the payment point. So as soon as you confirm that you won, check the official terms and claim within the established period so you do not lose your prize. For larger prizes, collection is normally done at authorized offices, while smaller prizes can be paid at points of sale.
The odds, in perspective
Checking your ticket is more exciting when you understand what you are playing against. The top prize of Melate, the 6 matches, has a probability of 1 in 32,468,436, which is the total number of possible combinations of 6 numbers from 1 to 56. A key fact: every combination of 6 numbers has exactly the same probability, so there is no "luckier" play than another.
As a historical curiosity, the most frequent number in the Melate series has been 29, with 258 appearances, while the least frequent has been 37, with 199; the average sum of the six numbers is around 171. These figures are purely informational and you can explore them in the statistics section: they do not predict or improve your chances, because each draw is independent.
Frequently asked questions about how to check your Melate ticket
Does the order of the numbers matter when checking my ticket?
No. Only how many of your 6 numbers are among the 6 winners of the draw counts, regardless of the order in which they came out. If all six match, you have 6 matches even if the sequence is different.
How many matches do I need to start winning in Melate?
From 2 matches you already enter the prize table. The categories run from 2 to 6 matches, and some also consider the bonus number. You do not need to match all six to win something.
What is the bonus number for?
The bonus number is drawn separately and is used to define certain prize categories in combination with the main numbers. It does not play into the top prize of 6 matches, which depends only on the six main numbers.
How do I check my ticket if I played Revancha or Revanchita?
Revancha and Revanchita use your same 6 Melate numbers, but they are drawn separately and without a bonus number. Compare your six numbers against the list for each of those draws, in addition to the Melate list.
Where do I see the winning numbers to compare?
You can check them after each draw in our results section and in the Melate Results article. Official validation and payment correspond to Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública.
Why does the prize change even if I have the same number of matches?
The amounts of each category are not fixed: they depend on the draw and on how many winners share that category. That is why the same number of matches may pay differently from one date to another.
Do I have to keep the physical ticket?
Yes. The original ticket in good condition is the proof you need to claim any prize, even if you already verified online that you won. Keep it dry, flat and legible until you collect.
