The game was officially copyrighted in Mexico on this day 106 years ago.

The game is still popular today across Mexico and Latinx communities, according to Google Doodle's global marketing lead, Perla Campos. It is used as a Spanish language teaching tool or for family gaming nights.

Institutions such as NASA's Johnson Space Center's Hispanic Employee Resource Group have used the game to promote its communication priorities. In a pilot run in 2015, the cards were redesigned with a fun fact on the back of the cards in English and Spanish to inform about NASA's history, present and future explorations. It was used with 3,000 middle school students and educators taking part in the game during the Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology week.

"One of the best known versions was created in Mexico by Frenchman Clemente Jacques in 1887. The 'Don Clemente Gallo' edition, copyrighted in 1913, features the imagery that's become a form of folk art synonymous with Lotería," explains Campos on the Google Doodle blog. The interactive Doodle can be accessed by clicking the"play" symbol on the second card. Gamers are then taken to a"tabula" and given instructions on how to play and how they need to win.

The game was copyrighted 106 years ago today, which is why it is appearing as today's Google Doodle. Happy anniversary Loteria!
