Cultural Magazine "La Loteria"
The cultural magazine, Loteria, is a regular publication of the National Lottery and contains articles on history, notable people, literature, and art. Most of the issues in this collection, spanning from 1941 to the present, have been digitized. Two sources are available: one from the Loteria publishers and one from the National Library of Panama. Each collection contains some issues that are not duplicated in the other collection. You can click on any item in the index to download the PDF for that issue.
