This second installment of the report takes us on a more detailed journey behind the scenes of Lotería Nacional de Beneficencia (LNB). This is how joyful wednesdays begin on the set, where everything transforms into a bustling center of activity, with a team of professionals cleaning and organizing every corner to welcome the draw’s special guests.
While the cameramen and production team make technical adjustments to achieve the perfect shot, meticulous tests are carried out in a corner of the set. The airlock is the center of attention, where each ballot is examined and weighed to ensure proper functioning, guaranteeing there is no room for error.
Israel Sirria Ramírez, Audio Operator, tells us more about the step-by-step preparation behind the scenes of the Lotería.
Likewise, Raúl Antonio Mendoza, Logistics Collaborator of the LNB General Services Department, highlighted his behind-the-scenes experience and told us how he feels about working at the institution for six years.
The delicately calibrated ballots are not touched with fingers, but with special gloves to maintain a uniform temperature and weight. This protocol ensures that each number has the same chance of being the lucky one, validating the legitimacy of each drawing in the eyes of salvadorans.
Meanwhile, Edwin Ortiz, Head of the LNB Lottery Department, tells us about the activities he carries out during the program.
Behind closed doors, an audit team monitors every detail of the drawing in real time. This team, charged with certifying the smooth operation of the process, relies on multiple screens that record every movement, from the raffle to the program script. Their work is crucial to verifying each result.
Thus, amidst lights, scripts, and rigorous control, the most anticipated part of the afternoon begins: the reveal of the winning numbers. This complex mechanism not only distributes luck, but also supports individuals and institutions in need, an act of charity hidden behind every lottery ticket.
