The Saturday evening draw of Chontico Noche, one of Colombia's most widely played numbers games, produced a winning combination of 4716, with a fifth digit of 9. The result was announced after the official broadcast concluded, made available through authorized operators and their digital channels across the southwestern region, particularly in Valle del Cauca where the game maintains deep roots in daily betting culture.
Thousands of players in the region check Chontico results each day with the hope of matching the drawn number and claiming prizes that scale according to how many digits align with their ticket. The game operates on a simple structure: players select a four-digit number, decide their wager amount, and purchase a ticket from an authorized seller. The minimum bet is 500 pesos. Tickets can be bought at shops, pharmacies, supermarkets, stationery stores, and other licensed points throughout the region.
The prize structure varies significantly depending on how many digits a player correctly predicts and whether they play the numbers in exact order or in any combination. A single correct digit pays 5 pesos for every peso wagered. Two digits correct returns 50 pesos per peso bet. Three digits in exact order—called pleno—pays 400 pesos per peso. Three digits in any combination pays 83 pesos per peso. Four digits in exact order, the highest single-ticket prize, pays 4,500 pesos per peso wagered. Four digits in any combination pays 308 pesos per peso. Each player must specify which type of bet they want when purchasing their ticket.
Chontico runs on a consistent schedule. The daytime draw happens every single day at 1 p.m., including weekends and holidays. The nighttime draw—Chontico Noche—runs Monday through Friday at 7 p.m., shifts to 10 p.m. on Saturdays, and plays at 8 p.m. on Sundays and public holidays. A separate game called Superchontico Millonario draws every Thursday at 9:30 p.m. All draws are broadcast live and include controls and protocols designed to ensure the process remains transparent.
Claiming a prize depends on the amount won. Prizes under 100,000 pesos can be collected directly at the point of sale where the ticket was purchased, provided the original ticket is presented in good condition. Larger prizes must be claimed at official operator locations and require the player to be of legal age, present the original ticket, and provide a photocopy of their national ID. Depending on the prize amount, operators may request additional documentation such as a tax registration number or specific forms.
The operators emphasize that tickets with crossed-out sections, erasures, or any alterations may be deemed invalid for prize collection. Players are advised to keep their tickets in good condition and to verify results only through official channels to avoid errors or fraud. Winners have one year from the date of the draw to claim their prize under Colombian law. The Saturday result of 4716 is now official and available for verification through all authorized channels.

A Conversa do Hearth Outra perspectiva sobre a história
Why does a lottery draw in one Colombian region warrant news coverage at all? Isn't this just a number announcement?
Because for thousands of people in Valle del Cauca, this isn't abstract. It's a daily ritual, a small bet with real consequences. The news serves the people who played—they need to know if they won, and they need to know where and how to claim it.
But the odds must be terrible. Why do so many people play?
The odds are what they are, yes. But the game is woven into the culture there. It's accessible—500 pesos is a small amount for most people. And there's a structure to it, different ways to win, different payouts. It feels like there's skill or strategy involved, even if there isn't.
The article mentions a lot of rules about claiming prizes. Why is that important to include?
Because people lose money not because they didn't win, but because they didn't know the rules. A ticket with a smudge becomes worthless. A winner who waits too long loses their claim. The news is partly about the draw, but it's also about protecting people from their own mistakes.
What's the relationship between this game and the broader economy?
It's categorized as economy news, which might seem odd for a lottery. But chance games like this move real money through communities. They're regulated, they're taxed, they're part of the informal financial landscape. For some people, a 4,500-to-1 payout on a small bet is the only way they see a sudden change in their circumstances.
Does the game ever produce actual winners, or is it designed so no one wins?
People do win. The payouts are real. But the game is designed so that over time, more money flows in than flows out. That's how it sustains itself. The winners exist—they're just rarer than the players.
