Cruz Roja and Huila Lottery Results: Winning Numbers for August 25, 2026
The Lotería de la Cruz Roja announced the winning numbers for its August 25, 2026, draw, with the jackpot number 4939 and series 112 claiming the top prize of 7,000 million Colombian pesos. The weekly lottery, which supports humanitarian aid through the Colombian Red Cross, distributes over 50 primary prizes each Tuesday night.
Winning Numbers and Prize Distribution for August 25
According to Infobae and Vanguardia, the primary winning combination for the Tuesday night draw was 4939 with series 112. This specific combination entitles the holder to the 7,000 million peso grand prize. The lottery operates on a structured payout system that includes “secos”—fixed prizes awarded to numbers that do not hit the jackpot but match other specific criteria.
The prize architecture for the August 25 session included:
- One Grand Prize: 7,000 million pesos
- One “Seco” prize: 200 million pesos
- One “Seco” prize: 100 million pesos
- Two “Seco” prizes: 30 million pesos each
- Three “Seco” prizes: 20 million pesos each
- Four “Seco” prizes: 10 million pesos each
Vanguardia notes that additional winnings are available through approximations, where tickets with numbers close to the winner—specifically the number immediately preceding or following the jackpot—receive smaller payouts. Billed as a “rain of millions,” this tiered system increases the probability of return for participants, though the odds of hitting the grand prize remain approximately 1 in 1,000,000, according to Infobae.
Fiscal Obligations and Claim Requirements
Vanguardia reports that winners must present the original ticket in perfect condition, free of erasures or tears, along with a photocopy of their national identity card (cédula de ciudadanía) enlarged to 150%.
Infobae and Vanguardia both confirm that winners have a maximum of 30 calendar days from the date of the draw to claim their funds. Failure to meet this deadline results in the forfeiture of the prize.
For those claiming the grand prize or major “secos,” the lottery recommends presenting the documentation directly at the Lotería de la Cruz Roja offices.
The Economic Engine of Humanitarian Aid
The Lotería de la Cruz Roja serves as more than a gambling vehicle; it is a primary funding mechanism for the Colombian Red Cross. Vanguardia reports that proceeds from ticket sales directly finance medical care, first aid training, and humanitarian assistance in the most vulnerable regions of Colombia.
Infobae states that a single fraction costs 5,000 pesos, while a full ticket is priced at 15,000 pesos. These tickets are distributed across 31 departments and Bogotá through authorized distributors or digital platforms like Lottired and LotiColombia.
The lottery employs a variable prize plan. While the standard jackpot is 7,000 million pesos, Infobae notes that during special events—typically the first draw of the month—the lottery may pivot to an alternative plan. This alternative structure can increase the jackpot to 8,000 million pesos while reducing the total number of secondary winners.
Comparative Analysis of Lottery Logistics
The August 25 draw aligns with the lottery’s long-standing operational cadence established in 1981. The draws occur every Tuesday at 10:50 p.m. (Colombia time), with broadcasts handled by Canal Uno and official social media channels.
Unlike some regional lotteries that may shift dates for holidays, the Lotería de la Cruz Roja only moves its draw to the following business day if the Tuesday falls on a public holiday. Since August 25 was a standard business day, the schedule remained unchanged.
As the next draw approaches on September 1, 2026, the market for lottery tickets remains a stable source of non-governmental funding for Colombian healthcare.
