The Puerto Rico Lottery announced Monday the return of its traditional Valentine’s Day “Billetazo,” a semi‑extraordinary drawing that will offer $6.6 million in tax‑free prizes.
Puerto Rico Lottery Bureau Assistant Secretary Heidi Hernández Olivo said the drawing will take place this Thursday and remains one of the most anticipated events among players during the season celebrating love and friendship.
“This Valentine’s Billetazo is an excellent opportunity for our players to participate and share the excitement of winning,” Hernández Olivo said, encouraging the public to purchase tickets early through their preferred ticket sellers.
Beyond the prospect of winning, Hernández Olivo emphasized that each ticket sold contributes to community well‑being across the island. Revenue generated by the Lottery helps support essential programs focused on health, housing and services for vulnerable populations.
The Lottery Bureau said it remains committed to offering transparent and secure drawings and urged the public to participate responsibly.
