Melate draw 3831, played on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, produced a detail that almost never repeats: number 43 came up again with a gap of zero draws, meaning it had appeared in the immediately preceding draw. A number repeating from one draw to the next is uncommon — most numbers take several draws to resurface — and that was only one of the notable facts from that night. The other: draw 3831 arrived on the back of a 19-draw streak with no jackpot winner, and it didn't break it either, so the pot — already at 67 million pesos — kept growing. Here's exactly what came up that night, the full context behind those numbers, and how to confirm without doubt whether your ticket from draw 3831 was a winner.
The Winning Numbers for Melate Draw 3831
These are the six winning numbers from draw 3831, played on December 6, 2023, along with the bonus number:
- Winning numbers: 10, 18, 19, 23, 43, 53
- Bonus number (adicional): 27
- Jackpot for that draw: 67,000,000 pesos
- Was the jackpot won? No — the pot rolled over to the next draw
Keep these six numbers and the bonus number handy: they're the only data you need to check against your physical or digital ticket from December 6, 2023. If your ticket carries a different date, it belongs to a different draw and you'd be checking against the wrong result.
How to Check Your Ticket for Draw 3831
Checking a Melate ticket is straightforward if you follow the right order. First, verify the date printed on your ticket: it should read December 6, 2023, with draw number 3831; Melate runs several draws a week (Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday), so a ticket from a different date doesn't apply here even if the numbers look similar. Second, compare your six chosen numbers against the six winning numbers — 10, 18, 19, 23, 43, and 53 — one by one, without skipping any. Third, check whether your ticket includes the bonus number, 27, since several Melate prize categories take it into account alongside the six main numbers.
The most reliable way to confirm is against the official draw source, not from memory or a copied list.

The Streak Behind This Draw: 19 Rollovers and Counting
The jackpot context is what makes draw 3831 worth a second look. Before that night, Melate had gone 19 consecutive draws without anyone matching the jackpot — a long stretch even for a game where multi-week rollovers are normal. Draw 3831 had the chance to break it with 67 million pesos on the line, and it didn't: no one matched all six numbers, so the pot rolled into the next draw and the streak extended to 20.
For perspective: the largest jackpot on record in Melate's history reached 639.5 million pesos in draw 2677, back in 2013, after a much longer rollover. The 67 million pesos on the table for draw 3831 was nowhere near that record, but it already represented close to three months of draws without a jackpot paid out. If you want to understand how these streaks build and how often they happen, we cover it in depth in how Melate's jackpot accumulates.
What These Numbers Do (and Don't) Tell You
Analyzing the combination from a draw that already happened is an exercise in curiosity, not a tool for the future — no pattern from past draws predicts or improves your odds in the next one. That said, draw 3831 has a few traits worth pointing out because they show how a real draw behaves, far from the idea that numbers "should" spread out evenly:
- The six numbers summed to 166, within the range where most draws land, roughly 120 to 220.
- Four numbers came out odd and two even (10, 18, 19, 23, 43, 53) — a common split, though not the only possible one.
- Four numbers were low (10, 18, 19, and 23, all 28 or below) and two were high (43 and 53, above 28).
- The 31-40 decade contributed nothing, while the 11-20 decade contributed two numbers (18 and 19), which are also consecutive.
- Number 43 had a gap of zero draws — it had appeared in the immediately preceding draw — while the bonus number, 27, hadn't shown up in 16 draws.
None of this "explains" why those numbers came up: in every draw, each combination of six numbers out of 56 has exactly the same probability of being chosen, whether it appeared yesterday or hasn't shown up in a year. If you're curious why the brain tends to look for meaning in "overdue" numbers, we unpack it in the gambler's fallacy in Melate.
If Your Ticket Matches: What to Do and What Deadlines Apply
If comparing your ticket from draw 3831 shows a full or partial match against 10, 18, 19, 23, 43, 53, and the bonus number 27, the next step is confirming the prize category and the deadline to claim it; both vary and are governed by specific Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública rules, so don't guess. The first priority is not losing the physical ticket — it's the only valid proof. We walk through the full process, from where to go to what documents to bring, in how to claim a Melate prize.
Timing matters especially here: since this is a draw from December 2023, if you've never checked this ticket it's worth confirming right away whether the claim window is still open, because lottery prizes in Mexico have a deadline and aren't payable indefinitely. We cover the exact deadlines and what happens if they expire in how long you have to claim a Melate prize. And if the prize is significant, remember it's subject to tax withholding before it reaches your account.
Common Mistakes When Checking Tickets From Past Draws
Checking a ticket from a draw that already happened has its own traps that don't show up when you check same-day results. The most common is mixing up the draw number with the date, or vice versa: Melate draws three times a week, so two different draws can carry very similar-looking labels, and you need to verify both, not just one. The second is comparing only five of the six numbers and assuming the sixth, especially when the ticket is faded or creased from time — it helps to read each number aloud and cross it off as you verify it. The third is ignoring the bonus number entirely, when several prize categories depend on it just as much as on the six main numbers. And the fourth, maybe the costliest, is not confirming against the right source and writing off — or celebrating — a ticket without checking a reliable channel.
