The Loto Plus lottery in Argentina hosts draw number 3909 on Saturday, August 15, featuring an estimated prize jackpot of 19,233,000,000 pesos. Players across the country participate in the weekly drawing operated by the Buenos Aires city lottery authority.
The drawing takes place at 10 p.m. local time in Argentina, with ticket sales closing one hour earlier at 9 p.m. A single wager costs 4,000 pesos and grants entry into all four primary game modes during the draw.
Draw schedule and ticket purchasing
Tickets for draw 3909 are sold through official lottery agencies, where vendors issue printed tickets confirming entry. Online tickets are also available through the official digital platform managed by lottery administrators.
The draw follows the previous edition, draw 3908, which took place on Wednesday, August 12. Viewers can watch the Saturday drawing live on YouTube and Facebook through official channels operated by Lotería de la Ciudad, as well as through live updates published by El Comercio.
Loto Plus is owned and organized by Lotería de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, the municipal gambling regulator for the autonomous capital city. In the province of Córdoba, Argentina's second most populous province, ticket distribution is handled by state-owned Lotería de Córdoba S.E.
Game mechanics and prize modes
Loto Plus functions as a pool-based game of chance, meaning the total prize fund depends directly on total revenue generated from nationwide ticket sales. When ticket sales increase, the overall jackpot pool grows accordingly.
Players can place a multiple bet by selecting more than the standard six numbers on a single ticket. Choosing additional numbers allows participants to compete with multiple number combinations within a single play.
Each ticket also requires selecting a Número Plus, a single digit ranging from zero to nine. Matching this number activates the Multiplier mode, which increases prize payouts earned across other winning categories.
The current draw format also includes a game variation known as New Loto Plus without Jackpots, offering alternative prize distribution structures for participants.
Prize collection and headquarters procedures
Winners holding tickets for Loto Plus, Loto 5 Plus, and Poceada de la Ciudad can collect their winnings starting on the first business day following the draw. Players who bought tickets online receive their payouts directly into their registered digital gaming accounts.
Standard retail lottery agencies pay out smaller prize claims in cash. However, any prize exceeding 2,100,000 pesos must be claimed in person at the headquarters of Lotería de la Ciudad in Buenos Aires.
Lottery officials direct major prize winners to present themselves at lottery headquarters located at Santiago del Estero 126 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, or at Santa Fe Avenue 4362 in the Palermo neighborhood of the capital. Winners must book an appointment in advance using the official website.
To complete a high-value claim at headquarters, winners must present a valid National Identity Document alongside the original winning bet ticket or receipt. Headquarters payouts are processed exclusively through bank transfers rather than cash.
The deadline to claim prizes is determined by specific game regulations outlined in official programming documentation and printed directly on each bet ticket.
Tax deductions and legal regulations
Prizes larger than 1,333.34 pesos are subject to a mandatory statutory tax deduction of 28.5 percent under Argentine law. The tax automatically reduces the gross payout credited to the winner.
This withholding is mandated under Law Number 20,630, which governs tax surcharges on lottery prizes and gambling winnings across Argentina. The legal tax requirement applies equally to Loto Plus, Loto 5 Plus, La Grande de la Ciudad, Brinco, Raspa Ya, and Quini 6.
