The Mexican consulate in New York turned 200 years old, and to commemorate its opening in 1826, the National Lottery unveiled a ticket with a Grand Prize of 21 million pesos, with the drawing to take place on Tuesday, October 6.
During the presentation of the lottery ticket, for which three million 600 thousand tickets were issued, it was highlighted that this consulate is one of the oldest Mexican representations in the world.
Cristina Planter, Undersecretary for North America at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), noted that the commemoration allows highlighting the shared history between Mexico and the United States "and the central role that consular work has had, has, and will continue to have in foreign policy."
Planter explained that the 200 years of consular presence in New York, now under the leadership of Consul Marcos Bucio, represent generations of Mexican people, diplomats, and institutions that have kept the channels of communication open between Mexico and the United States.
"Our consulates build bridges between Mexico and its communities abroad and keep alive the ties that unite us," she declared.
The director of the National Lottery, Olivia Salomón, expressed that this ticket recognizes two centuries of service and, above all, migrant people "because where our people are, there is Mexico."
