To buy Melate you have two routes: in person, by visiting the authorized points of sale of Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública, the official operator; or online, through the official digital channels run by Pronósticos itself. The key thing to know up front is that MelateBot is an informational and entertainment site: it does not sell tickets, does not handle payments, and is not affiliated with Pronósticos. Here we explain how and where to buy, what you need, how to choose your numbers, and why keeping your receipt is essential.
Where do you buy Melate officially?
The only authorized operator of Melate in Mexico is Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública. That means any legitimate purchase goes through its channels: the authorized points of sale spread across the country and the official digital channels that Pronósticos makes available to the public.
Be wary of any third-party website, person, or app that promises to sell you tickets outside these channels. If it is not an authorized Pronósticos point of sale or its official digital platform, it is not an official purchase. As a general reference, remember that Melate is played by choosing 6 numbers from 1 to 56, with a bonus number, and that the draws are held on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays around 9:00 p.m., central Mexico time. If you want to fully understand the game before buying, check out our guide on what Melate is.
Buying Melate in person: step by step
The traditional way is still to visit an authorized point of sale. The process is simple:
- Find an authorized Pronósticos point of sale. They are usually identifiable by the operator's official branding.
- Decide on your 6 numbers from 1 to 56. You can choose them yourself or ask for a random selection.
- Indicate whether you want to play Revancha and Revanchita, which are optional draws using the same 6 numbers on your ticket (the bonus number does not apply to these two) and have their own jackpots.
- Make the payment and receive your printed ticket.
- Check that the details on the ticket are correct before you leave: numbers, draws, and game options.
If you have never filled out a ticket before, it will help to first read how to play Melate, where we explain the game options and choices step by step.
Buying Melate online: what you need
Pronósticos has official digital channels for taking part without leaving home. Although we cannot give you a specific price or web address here (because they can change and should always be verified at the official source), we can give you an idea of what you will usually need:
- A verifiable identity and, generally, registration in the corresponding official channel.
- A valid payment method accepted by the official channel.
- Being of legal age, since taking part in games and draws is restricted to adults.
- Defining your 6 numbers and, if you wish, activating Revancha and Revanchita.
When buying online, always make sure you are on an official Pronósticos channel. The convenience of going digital should not lower your guard against fraudulent sites.
How to choose your numbers
Here it is worth being very clear: every combination of 6 numbers has exactly the same chance of being drawn. The odds of winning the Melate jackpot are 1 in 32,468,436, no matter which numbers you choose. There are no "lucky numbers" that improve your chances.
That said, many people enjoy looking at the data out of curiosity. For your information: the most frequent number historically in Melate is 29, with 258 appearances, and the least frequent is 37, with 199. These figures are only past statistics and do not predict or improve any future result. You can explore them in our statistics section if the numerical side of the game interests you.
Choose however you prefer: meaningful dates, a random selection, or a combination you simply like. They are all worth the same in terms of probability.
Keep your receipt
Your ticket, whether physical or its digital equivalent, is your only proof of participation. Without it, you cannot prove that you played nor, should the occasion arise, claim a prize.
- Keep it in good condition if it is physical; prevent it from fading, getting wet, or being damaged.
- Do not lose it until you have checked the result of the draw.
- Verify your numbers after each draw. You can consult the official results and, to review your ticket carefully, our guide on how to check your Melate ticket will help you.
