You searched "Melate Revancha and Revanchita mascarilla" because your ticket has these add-ons active and you're not sure how to check them. The short answer: your six-number combination is identical across all three pools, but each pool — Melate, Revancha, and Revanchita — is drawn independently, with its own set of winning numbers. That means there isn't one mascarilla to apply; there are three, and checking only the main draw can make you miss a real prize in either of the other two. This guide focuses on exactly that: how to apply the mascarilla to Revancha and Revanchita specifically, what makes them different from one another, and the specific mistakes players make with these two modalities.
Why Revancha and Revanchita need their own mascarilla
When you buy a Melate ticket with Revancha and/or Revanchita, you're not playing different numbers — you're entering the same six-number combination into two additional draws, each with its own ball extraction from the same 1-to-56 pool. The main Melate draw, the Revancha draw, and the Revanchita draw all happen the same night — Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday, around 9:00 p.m. — but they produce three completely separate sets of winning numbers.
That's where the most common confusion comes from: assuming that if your ticket didn't win the main draw, it didn't win Revancha or Revanchita either. There's no relationship between the three results. Your combination can miss entirely in Melate and still hit five numbers in Revanchita, or the reverse. Applying only the main draw's mascarilla and stopping there is the most common way a prize goes uncollected when these add-on modalities are in play. For the full mechanics of how these two pools work — amounts, purchase requirements, how they differ from each other — we cover it in depth in Melate Revancha and Revanchita, and specifically what sets them apart from each other in the difference between Revancha and Revanchita.
The procedure: three mascarillas, one ticket
If you already know the general step-by-step for comparing a ticket against a result — finding the right draw, matching number by number, marking each hit — we cover that in detail in Melate results template. We won't repeat it here; instead we focus on the specific order that prevents mistakes when you have three pools to check against the same combination:
- Get all three results separately, never just one. The winning numbers for the main draw, Revancha, and Revanchita are published together on the same results page, but they are three independent lists. Write them down or review them one at a time; don't assume you've "seen the numbers" after reading only the first block.
- Check the main draw first, with your standard mascarilla. Your six numbers and the additional ball against classic Melate's results. This is the step most players already know.
- Apply the Revancha mascarilla, against its own result. Take the same six-number combination from your ticket and compare it, number by number, with no shortcuts, against the six numbers drawn for Revancha. It's a completely separate comparison from the one above.
- Do the exact same thing for Revanchita. This is the step most people skip, precisely because they already checked two mascarillas and assume the pattern repeats for the third. There is no pattern: Revanchita has its own extraction, independent of the other two.
- Write down which pool won, if any, before putting the ticket away. With three comparisons done, it's easy to forget which one had the match if you check the ticket again later.
To see exactly which prize category applies based on how many numbers you matched — whether in the main draw, Revancha, or Revanchita — the full table is in Melate prizes by matches. The category structure is the same across all three pools; the only thing that changes is which result you're comparing against.
The costliest mistake: writing off Revancha or Revanchita too soon
The specific mistake with these two modalities isn't a counting error — it's an assumption error. A player checks their ticket against the main draw, doesn't find enough matches for a prize, and puts the ticket away (or throws it out) without going further. The problem is that check only covered one of the three possible mascarillas. If the ticket had Revancha or Revanchita active, two comparisons are still pending, and either one can have a completely different outcome.
This mistake becomes more likely, not less, when a player is confident they already "know how" to check Melate: familiarity with the main mascarilla creates the false sense that checking it covered the whole ticket. Treating each pool as a fresh, independent check — even though it's the identical combination — is the habit that prevents this.
The other mechanical error: chasing an additional number that isn't there
There's a second error, more technical than the first, that's also unique to tickets with Revancha and Revanchita active. When you check the main Melate draw, you compare your six numbers and the additional number — that seventh figure is what defines the second prize category in the classic mascarilla. The problem shows up when a player carries that same habit into Revancha or Revanchita, looking for an "additional" number in those results that simply isn't part of the comparison there. In both pools, the mascarilla is applied only against the six winning numbers from that draw — there's no seventh ball to look for or write down.
That creates two distinct kinds of confusion. The first is thinking the results listing is missing information, when in fact the Revancha or Revanchita result is already complete with its six numbers. The second, more costly one, is dismissing a real match because the player expected to find an additional number to "confirm" it, without realizing that in these two pools a clean six-against-six match already is the full mascarilla, with no extra step pending. If your combination matches the six Revancha or Revanchita numbers, you already have your answer — there's nothing further to look for.
Paper or digital when you have three pools to check
With a single mascarilla, doing the comparison by hand or from memory doesn't add much risk. With three — main draw, Revancha, Revanchita — the manual error margin triples: each set of numbers requires its own full pass, and it's easy to lose track of which list you already checked or mix numbers from one pool into another. This is where a digital tool makes the biggest difference over the paper method, precisely because it's three simultaneous comparisons instead of one. MelateBot's ticket checker lets you enter your combination and the draw date and returns the comparison against all three pools you played at once, without you having to hold three number lists in your head simultaneously.
That digital check is informational: it tells you how many matches you have in each pool, but collecting a prize is a separate process, and what it asks for is set by the rules published for each draw, not by this page. Ask at an authorized point of sale; an online lookup tells you whether you matched, not how the payout gets settled.
Collecting when more than one pool wins: deadlines, taxes, and shared tickets
A common misunderstanding shows up right after you apply all three mascarillas and confirm there's a prize in more than one pool: assuming you need three separate collection processes, one per result. That's not how it works. There's only one physical ticket, and at the authorized point of sale, the total you're owed is calculated by adding up whatever you won in the main draw, Revancha, and Revanchita in a single transaction. You present the same ticket once — there isn't one window for Melate and a separate one for Revancha or Revanchita.
Where it does pay to think about each piece separately is the rest of the conditions around the prize. How a lottery prize is treated for tax is set by the official rules, and we won't quote percentages or thresholds here: if you won in more than one pool, the sensible move is to confirm with the operator how the combined amount is considered before assuming a net figure. The general subject is covered in Melate taxes. The collection deadline, by contrast, is a single cutoff date per ticket, no matter how many pools paid out: miss that date and you lose whatever you won across all three at once, not just one. What that date is comes from the rules published for each draw, so you won't find it here as a number — confirm it at an authorized point of sale or with the official source. We cover the subject in how long you have to collect a Melate prize.
Shared tickets deserve their own note here. If you bought the ticket as a group and agreed to split any prize, remember that Revancha and Revanchita can pay out very different amounts from each other — and from the main draw too. A split agreement that only covers "if we win" without specifying how uneven amounts get divided across the three pools is a common source of friction after the draw, precisely because nobody planned for the prize arriving from a single pool instead of all three at once. If you're playing these modalities as a group, it's worth settling that point before you play; we cover it in playing Melate as a group.
What if you also played Melate Retro?
Revancha and Revanchita are exclusive to classic Melate; Melate Retro is a completely different game, with its own number pool (39 instead of 56) and its own draw days (Tuesday and Saturday, instead of Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday). If you bought tickets for both games, don't mix them: each requires its own mascarilla, with no relationship between the two. If you want the full rundown of those differences before checking a Retro ticket, we cover them in Melate vs. Melate Retro. And for the general verification procedure applied to any ticket, see how to check a Melate ticket.
Is it worth playing Revancha and Revanchita?
Checking three mascarillas instead of one is more work, so it's fair to ask whether the extra cost of activating these add-ons is worth it. That's a separate question from verification itself, and we work through it with real numbers in is it worth playing Revancha and Revanchita. What's worth being clear on here is that, if you already played these modalities, the only way to know whether it paid off is checking all three pools separately — never assuming from the main result alone.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the Melate Revancha and Revanchita mascarilla?
It's the term used for the process of comparing your ticket — the same six-number combination — against the results of the Revancha and Revanchita draws, which are independent extractions from the main Melate draw. In practice these are two separate mascarillas, plus the main draw's if you want to check that too.
Do the Melate Revancha and Revanchita mascarillas use the same numbers I played in Melate?
Yes. Your six-number combination is identical across all three pools; what changes is which result you compare it against. The main draw, Revancha, and Revanchita each have their own extraction of winning numbers, even though your ticket only shows one printed combination.
Can I win in Revancha or Revanchita even if I don't win anything in Melate?
Yes, and that's exactly why you shouldn't discard a ticket just from checking the main draw. All three results are independent of each other, so your combination can miss in Melate and still match several numbers in Revancha or Revanchita, or both.
Where do I get the results to apply the Revancha and Revanchita mascarilla?
On MelateBot's results section, where all three sets of numbers — main draw, Revancha, and Revanchita — are published within minutes of each draw, or on the official Pronósticos para la Asistencia Pública site. If you'd rather skip the manual comparison, the ticket checker does it for you against all three pools at once.
Do I need to check Revancha and Revanchita every week if I play the same number?
Yes. If your ticket enters several consecutive draws with the same combination, each draw brings its own results — main, Revancha, and Revanchita — with no relationship to what came up the week before. Every draw is independent, so check each date separately across all three pools.
If you want to approach the next draw with an already-analyzed combination, AI Picks by MelateBot generates suggestions based on the game's statistical history.
