Melate Movil SAN DIEGO, July 1
SAN DIEGO, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Pronosticos para la Asistencia Publica,
the public lottery organization of the Federal Government that provides
significant resources for public assistance while operating and distributing
the leading lottery games nationwide in Mexico, has successfully rolled out
the first mobile state lottery network in the Americas. This innovative
development was made after considering the increasing popularity of mobile
devices in Mexico and the technologies available to create new channels for
interactive distribution of lottery games. Pronosticos para la Asistencia
Publica along with Digital Orchid, the leading operator and developer of
wireless content and distribution services for regulated lottery games,
reached an agreement to launch an innovated system that allows people to play
the lottery in Mexico from the comfort of their homes. The service is
available nationwide for the popular Melate lottery game and is called Melate
Movil.
Melate Movil is the first totally wireless state lottery sales channel in
the Americas that allows people to participate in games and draws through
mobile devices. The Melate Movil lottery service was initially made available
to all subscribers of Telcel, the leading mobile phone operator in Mexico,
starting April 15, 2008. With the purchase of a Melate Movil prepaid card,
which are available at retail locations nationwide at a cost of sixty or one
hundred pesos, players will be able to fund their Melate Movil accounts. The
account will be generated once the player enters the Melate Movil system from
their cell phone's browser. This procedure prevents fraud when participating
in the draw. The players' accounts will not have minimum or maximum balance
amounts since their balance will be determined by the players themselves based
on the number of times they want to play and the number of cards they choose
to purchase. By logging into their accounts, players will be able to play
Melate con Revancha from a Telcel cell phone, without incurring any browser
charges. They just have to decide which version they want to play; Classic
Melate or Melatico Quick Pick
Just as easy and simple as it is to play, knowing if one is a winner is
even simpler. The lottery system will let the players know when the draw is
over as well as provide them with the draw results and prize amounts. The
player then has the choice to either credit the prize to their account or to
collect the prize money from an authorized Pronosticos para la Asistencia
Publica payment center or authorized retail agent that is responsible for the
prize payments for each of the draws. Telcel is not responsible for the
payment of prizes; Pronosticos para la Asistencia Publica will be entirely
responsible for the prize payouts.
With guaranteed prizes of a minimum of 40 million pesos and jackpots that
have surpassed 400 million pesos, Melate con Revancha is without a doubt the
most popular state lottery game in Mexico.
So play with Mexico, and help the public assistance organization by
participating in the Melate con Revancha lottery from your Melate Movil cell
phone ... Do you see yourself as a millionaire on your cell phone yet?
