To mark the tenth anniversary of the death of singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel, Mexico’s Lotería Nacional has released a commemorative ticket series for Sorteo Superior No. 2896. The collection includes 10 different designs of the artist, known as the ‘Divo de Juárez’. 

Scheduled for August 28, the draw involves 2.4 million tickets with a total prize pool exceeding 51 million pesos. The grand prize of 17 million pesos will be split across two series. 

During the presentation, Lotería Nacional director Olivia Salomón noted that Juan Gabriel’s music helped unite a diverse Mexican population and challenged the social conventions of his era. The unveiling ceremony for the tickets was led by Salomón and Michoacán Governor Alfredo Ramírez Bedolla in Parácuaro, the artist's birthplace. Additionally, the Museo Juan Gabriel in Ciudad Juárez is set to host a related ceremony as part of the ‘Juárez Juangabrielísimo 2026’ festival.

Beyond the lottery, various events are being held across Mexico to honor the singer. In Puebla, a tribute concert titled ‘Tributo a Juan Gabriel, el Divo de Juárez’ is scheduled for August 29 at the Auditorio Metropolitano, featuring impersonator Iaán Gabriel alongside a symphony orchestra, mariachi, and choir. In Mexico City, Virgin Music Group—which manages the artist's estate with his son, Iván Aguilera—organized a specialized listening session at Casa Pedregal focusing on analog vinyl recordings, such as the album ‘Los Dúo’. Marketing director Leonardo Ramírez noted a 14% increase in the acquisition of physical music products during the event.
