Introduction to the Key Figures and Their Roles
Olivia Salomón, the General Director of Lotería Nacional, emphasized that this institution was born from a forward-thinking idea: consumerism should not be a space for exploitation but a ground for rights.

The Significance of the Commemorative Lottery Ticket
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Federal Procurator for Consumer Affairs (Profeco), Lotería Nacional introduced the design of the Zodiac Sorteo No. 1733 ticket, acknowledging an institution that has become a cornerstone of Mexico’s economic democracy and is crucial in the history of social justice, merchant law, and consumer protection amidst a constantly evolving global and digital market.
The Unveiling Ceremony
Held at the Lotería Nacional’s headquarters theater, the unveiling was led by Olivia Salomón and César Iván Escalante. This event recognized Mexico as a pioneer in Latin America for being the first to establish such a consumer advocacy body.
Olivia Salomón’s Perspective on Profeco’s 50th Anniversary
Salomón highlighted the importance of commemorating 50 years of Profeco, an institution born in 1976 with the vision that consumerism should not be a space for abuse but a ground for rights. She asserted that Mexico set a precedent in Latin America and laid the foundation for true economic democracy.
Salomón emphasized that today, Profeco is a present, proactive, and sensitive institution, understanding that each complaint represents a family, every price protects an income, and every purchasing decision upholds a right.
Iván Escalante’s Gratitude and Profeco’s Mission
Iván Escalante, the Federal Consumer Procurator, expressed gratitude to Lotería Nacional and its director, Olivia Salomón, for their sensitivity and vision in promoting socially impactful lotteries. He also acknowledged the Profeco workers who have built, sustained, and defended the institution for 50 years.
Escalante reiterated that Profeco was founded five decades ago with the powerful and just idea that consuming would not imply deception, abuse, or indifference, as “behind every purchase lies a family, effort, and income earned through hard work.”
