Mexico.- President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has called on the public to participate in the Special Grand Draw 291 of the National Lottery, which will take place on September 15. This draw will offer cash and in-kind prizes exceeding MX$252m (USD 14,400,000). The prizes include MX$40m (USD 2,285,714) in houses, watches, jewelry, and refunds. Each ticket, known as a "cachito," costs MX$250.
In his statements, President López Obrador highlighted that this will be the last draw during his term and emphasized that all prizes will be awarded. "The novelty of this draw is that all prizes will be awarded. If not all tickets are sold, nothing will remain undistributed. Everything that is won comes from the Institute to Return the Stolen to the People, including legal houses and jewelry, with the goal of continuing to support the people," he highlighted in the media.

In the context of the national festivities, the Special Grand Draw 291 continues the historic mission of supporting the most disadvantaged sectors of the population. This event not only offers prizes in kind and cash but also generates funds for the federal government's social initiatives.
The draw is a collaboration between the National Lottery and the Institute to Return the Stolen to the People (Indep). The prizes include houses, cars, jewelry, watches, and cash. Each 250-peso cachito offers the opportunity to win big prizes, and buying more tickets increases the chances of success.
Among the highlighted prizes are:
The cachitos are available at more than 11,000 points of sale of the National Lottery throughout the Mexican Republic, as well as online through alegrialoteria.com.
The decision is based on the judge's assessment of the potential damages that the closure of the casino could cause to the company and its employees.
Spain.- The Administrative Litigation Court Number 3 of Toledo issued an order within the framework of precautionary measures, suspending the Resolution of revocation of a casino's authorization in Castilla-La Mancha, issued by the local administration.
According to the judge, a closure would be inappropriate, as it could harm both the company and its workers.
This order is the product of a contentious-administrative procedure directed by the law firm Santiago Moreno-Abogados. According to Moreno, the importance of this suspension lies in the judge's assessment of the possible damages that the closure of the casino could cause to the company.

The judge, in his resolution, points out that, given the expected duration of the procedure until a final judgment is reached, the establishment would face significant losses of clientele and long-lasting economic problems. Moreover, there could be serious harm to the employees who would lose their jobs.
Even if a favorable judgment were issued for the lawsuit, the reactivation of the business could be costly both financially and in terms of recovering the operation.
