The game involves betting on numbers of one, two, three, or four digits. Draws take place in the Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires halls, using four ball machines to form the numbers: the first for the thousands, the second for the hundreds, the third for the tens, and the fourth for the units, each with ten balls numbered 0 to 9, plus a fifth machine for the board positions, with twenty balls numbered 1 to 20. Draws occur four times daily: Primera at 12:00, Matutina at 14:30, Vespertina at 17:30, and Nocturna at 21:00.
