The winner is the first player that shouts "Buena!" or "Lotera!" right after completing a tabla or a previous agreed pattern, similar to bingo: row, column, diagonal, four corners, or unique to this game, or four in a square (a pozo')'.

The card announcer pulls out illustrated cards such as La Luna and El Arbol from a deck. Players have to locate the card announced on their board and mark it. As soon as a player completes the board, he is required to shout out, "Loteria," and is declared the winner.
