The sorteo Melate Revancha — the Melate Revancha draw — is the optional draw that runs alongside every Melate draw: it uses exactly the same 6 numbers from your ticket, but with its own jackpot and its own ball extraction, separate from the main Melate draw. It's held on the same Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, around 21:00 hrs Mexico City time, and you don't have to choose anything again — if you activated Revancha when you bought your ticket, your combination is already entered. In this guide we explain, with real data from recent draws, how the Melate Revancha draw works, when it runs, and what to check to know if you won.
What is the Melate Revancha draw?
Revancha is an optional draw activated when you buy your Melate ticket. You don't pick new numbers: the same 6 numbers from 1 to 56 you chose for Melate automatically enter the Revancha draw, with no additional number. Each Revancha draw runs its own extraction of 6 balls and manages its own jackpot, separate from Melate's. So with a single combination you can compete for two different top prizes on the same night. For the full mechanics — including Revanchita, the third option layered on top of Revancha — we cover it in depth in Melate Revancha y Revanchita: qué son y cómo se juegan.
When is the Melate Revancha draw held?
The Revancha draw runs on the same day and at the same time as the main Melate draw: Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, around 21:00 hrs Mexico City time. There's no separate schedule to memorize. The most recent draws in our records confirm this with real dates: draw 4246 was held on Friday, July 31, 2026, draw 4245 on Wednesday, July 29, draw 4244 on Sunday, July 26, and so on, always following the same three-day-a-week pattern.

How the Revancha draw works, step by step
From the player's side, the process is simple:
- You activate Revancha when buying your ticket. You check the corresponding box on your slip or select it when registering your play online; it costs extra on top of the base Melate price.
- Your 6 numbers are entered automatically. You don't fill out another board: the same combination you played for Melate also participates in Revancha.
- The Revancha draw extracts its own 6 balls from 1 to 56, with no additional number, independent of the ones drawn for Melate.
- Your 6 numbers are compared against that extraction. Prize categories run from 2 to 6 matches; hitting all 6 wins that draw's entire jackpot.
The key detail so you don't get confused: even though Melate and Revancha are broadcast the same night, they are independent draws. Winning (or not) in one has no bearing on the other, because each extracts its own separate set of balls.
A real Revancha draw, as an example
To make the mechanics concrete rather than abstract, here's how the most recent Revancha draw in our records played out: draw 4246, held on July 31, 2026, carried a jackpot of $40,700,000 MXN, and nobody matched all 6 numbers. Going into that draw, the jackpot had built up over 15 consecutive draws without anyone hitting the top prize — that's why it had grown to that figure.
That streak does eventually break: draw 4230, on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, had a winner with a jackpot of $20,500,000 MXN, and a few draws earlier, draw 4224, on June 10, 2026, also had a winner with a considerably larger jackpot: $120,600,000 MXN. Every time someone matches all 6 numbers, the Revancha jackpot resets to its base level and starts building again from the next draw. It's exactly the same behavior as the Melate jackpot, just tracked in a separate account.
As a statistical reference — never a predictive one — across the 2,159 Revancha draws in our records (from draw 2088 through 4246), the number that has come up most often is 4, with 253 appearances, followed by 24 and 50; the least frequent has been 11, with 206. The sum of the 6 numbers drawn averages around 171. These are figures describing the past: every Revancha draw is an independent event, and no number is more likely than any other to come up next time.
Melate draw vs. Revancha draw: what actually differs
Although they share your combination and the same date, they aren't the same draw:
- Melate uses 6 numbers from 1 to 56 plus an additional number, which opens extra prize categories.
- Revancha uses only your 6 main numbers, with no additional number, so its prize categories depend solely on how many of those 6 you match.
- Each has its own jackpot and its own extraction, so they can be at completely different accumulation levels on the same night.
The probability of matching all 6 numbers is identical for both: 1 in 32,468,436, because both draw 6 numbers out of 56. What changes is the jackpot in play and whether there's an additional number. If you also play Revanchita, it's worth reviewing the difference between Revancha and Revanchita, since the two are sometimes confused.
Common mistakes when activating (or forgetting to activate) Revancha
The most common mistake beginners make with Revancha has nothing to do with numbers — it's about the mechanics of buying the ticket. A lot of players assume that once you've activated Revancha, it carries over to future tickets automatically. It doesn't. Revancha is activated ticket by ticket, whether you check a box on a physical slip or select the option when registering your play online, and if you buy a new ticket without checking it again, that play only enters Melate — even if you activated Revancha the week before. It's worth double-checking every single time, especially if you buy out of habit or repeat the same combination.
A second, more conceptual misunderstanding: thinking that activating Revancha somehow makes Melate easier to win, or that it splits your original ticket between the two draws. Neither is true. Melate's prize math works exactly the same whether or not you activate Revancha; the only thing that changes is that your same combination — at no cost to pick new numbers — also enters a second extraction with its own separate jackpot. These are two independent lotteries running on the same ticket, not one lottery divided into two.
A third, less common but costly mix-up: assuming Revancha and Revanchita are the same option, or that activating one activates the other. They're separate add-ons, each with its own extra cost. For the rest of the list of frequent mistakes — several apply just as much to Revancha — see common mistakes when playing Melate.
How to know if you won in the Revancha draw
Follow these steps, in order:
- Confirm you activated Revancha when buying your ticket. If you didn't check the box, your numbers only participated in Melate.
- Get the 6 winning Revancha numbers for that exact date — not Melate's numbers, which come from a separate extraction. You can find them in Resultados de Melate or in our results section.
- Compare your 6 numbers against that combination and count how many match: 2 to 6 matches open a prize category.
- If you matched, follow the claim process we detail in Cómo comprobar tu boleto de Melate, which also applies to Revancha prizes.
The most common mistake is checking your ticket against Melate's numbers when you actually meant to check Revancha (or the other way around). They're separate extractions: always verify against the right list.
Special cases: shared tickets, how long you have to claim, and forgetting to activate in time
A few questions come up separately from "did I win," and they're worth answering here because they apply to a Revancha prize exactly the same way they apply to a Melate prize.
If you played as a group — coworkers, family, a shared chat — a Revancha prize gets claimed the same way any Pronósticos prize does: against a physical ticket or an account, not automatically split among everyone who chipped in. If you're pooling money with others, agree in writing on who claims and how the payout gets divided before the draw, not after seeing the result.
On timing: a Revancha prize is claimed under the same rule as any other Pronósticos prize — there is a limited time to come forward, and both how long that lasts and the moment it is measured from are set by the contest's official rules, not by this page. Exactly how many days is set by the official rules, not by this site; if you're not sure how much time is left on a specific ticket, confirm it with the operator or at an authorized point of sale, and see the context in how long you have to claim a Melate prize.
And if you forgot to activate Revancha on the ticket that ended up winning — it happens more often than you'd expect — there's no way to fix it after the draw. Entry happens at the moment of purchase; it can't be added retroactively. The only real prevention is checking that box every time, before you pay.
Is Revancha worth activating? Deciding without guessing
That's the real question behind searching "sorteo Melate Revancha": is the extra cost worth paying? The answer doesn't come from any secret formula — it's a straightforward budgeting decision.
Activating Revancha doesn't improve your odds in Melate — they stay exactly the same, 1 in 32,468,436 — and it gives you no additional control over which numbers come up. What the extra cost buys is a second, fully independent shot at a prize, using the same combination you already picked. If that added cost fits inside what you'd already set aside to play this week, activating it doesn't change your risk profile — you're still risking the same amount you planned, just spread across two draws instead of one.
Where it's worth pausing is if activating Revancha pushes you to spend more than you'd budgeted, just so you don't "miss the chance." That sense of urgency isn't grounded in anything real: the Revancha draw runs every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, indefinitely — there's no version of it that disappears forever if you skip a week. If it pushes you to overspend, that's exactly the moment to set a clear cap before buying, not after seeing the result.
The misconception that Revancha improves your odds
It's worth naming this misconception directly, because it shows up again and again in how people search this topic: activating Revancha does not increase your odds of winning Melate, nor does it improve your odds of winning the Revancha draw itself. These are two separate draws, each carrying the exact same probability of matching all 6 numbers: 1 in 32,468,436. Playing both with the same combination doesn't multiply or combine that probability — it simply gives you two independent attempts on the same ticket, each with its own separate outcome.
This confusion is a close cousin of a better-known one: believing a number is "due" because it hasn't come up in several draws, or that a certain combination is more likely because of its recent history. In Revancha, just like in Melate, every extraction is an event independent of the last one: a number coming up less often than another across the historical record doesn't make it more "owed" in the next draw. If you want to understand why the brain falls for this reasoning trap, we cover it in depth in the gambler's fallacy.
