Spanish term

mascarilla

Spanish to English Other Other
when used with regard to the Mexican lottery (Pronósticos):

for example:
las mascarillas Tris Medio Día
las mascrillas Tris Clásico

It seems to be some kind of posting of the results but I am not sure. Can anyone who knows more about Mexico help me out here?

Thanks in advance!

lottery results card

My confidence level is even lower than Neil's, but this is the nearest I can get.

All my references show a picture of a printed card of results but I've no idea whether they exist physically. Maybe someone who lives in Mexico could help out.

And the card displays the results for all the draws that were made on the same day, whether there was one draw, or four.

Maybe 'Daily list/card of lottery results would work?

Or 'Latest winning numbers'?

Note from asker:
I saw this too, Helena! Calling all Mexicans ... :)
Yeah, or maybe just results list, since I will have to put the specific lottery game name first. Thanks for the suggestion Helena.

Thank you, Neil, although I might well be barking up the wrong tree!

mask or filter

In EDI and other IT applications, a file mask is a string that specifies the type of file that the File receive handler will pick up from the receive location. It acts as a kind of "filter"...

Again, only medium confidence level.

"Results Filters are a way to view only the results that match specified criteria. This is useful to hide results you are not interested in or easily group results with matching fields."

Reference:

mascarilla de resultados

Gabriela Quiroz, encargada de la agencia local de la Lotería Nacional, informó que a pesar de que en la mascarilla de resultados de la Lotería Nacional dice que el boleto fue vendido en León, lo cierto es que fue vendido en Irapuato, toda vez que la matriz de la Lotería Nacional está en la ciudad zapatera, a la que está adscrita el puesto de don Pascual López.

It sounds like 'list of results', but because I don't know if the lists provide information about where the tickets were sold, I'm not posting my suggestion as an answer.

Here it looks as though it refers to a combined list of results.

Thank you, Neil. I would like to be able to find exactly what it is!
