Where Uruguay’s 5 de Oro Winner Bought the Ticket for a Prize of More Than US$650,000

Uruguay’s latest 5 de Oro jackpot winner bought the winning ticket at a small betting outlet in Toledo, Canelones. The ticket was sold by subagency 23/204 of La Banca, at Salón El Pato on Route 6, kilometer 22.800.

The Aug. 30 draw produced a single winner across all its jackpots. The winner matched the Gold pool numbers and collected $27,772,846, equivalent to more than US$650,000 and reported as US$689,717.

The Gold numbers were 4, 6, 7, 31 and 44, with 17 as the extra ball. The Revancha numbers were 6, 14, 22, 35 and 48. No one won Revancha, so that pool will rise to $49.5 million for the next draw. The Silver pool also remained vacant.

The next draw will take place on Sept. 2 at 10 p.m. and will be broadcast on El País’ Facebook page, Canal 12 and La Banca’s YouTube channel. The Gold pool will stand at $8.5 million, while Gold and Revancha together will offer approximately $58 million, according to the National Directorate of Lotteries and Quinielas.

Winners must present their ticket at the directorate’s only office, in Montevideo’s Ciudad Vieja, within 30 calendar days of the draw. After the ticket is verified, the winner must visit a La Banca branch to complete the process. Payment takes place at the following draw, when the draw’s notary hands over the cheque to the winner, an authorized representative or a bank official.
