Iconic pictograms used in LoteríaThe origin of lottery can be traced far back in history. The first lottery games arrived to Mexico in the 18th century from Spain. In the beginning Lotería was a hobby of the upper classes, but eventually it became a tradition at Mexican fairs. At present, the Lotería has been adapted as a didactic tool, and several artists are using its pictograms as a base for their art projects.
The most famous maker of the card sets is Pasatiempos Gallo, S.A. de C.V., headquartered in the city of Santiago de Querétaro, (operating as Don Clemente, Inc. in the United States) which began publishing the game in 1887. The current images have become iconic in Mexican culture, as well as having "kitsch" value in the U.S. and some European countries
