A game made by you
One event: a $4.99 project pass
Approved educators and nonprofits pay $4.99 USD per new project pass, whether buying one or several. It is a one-time payment with no subscription. Each pass covers one project, up to 100 cards and 50 boards with the Lotería Maker logo.
You have 30 days from purchase to edit and up to three final saves. The third final save locks editing even if time remains. Replacing a final set uses another save; downloading the current saved set does not. Older passes and Etsy codes keep the benefits of their original purchase, which may include up to 100 boards.
Recurring events: choose monthly or annual membership
An active paid membership gives your account unlimited Studio projects, up to 100 boards per project, unlimited edits and final saves, and logo-free exports. Use your own or licensed images, or available Y&L catalog themes in Studio. No separate project pass is needed for those projects.
Approved education and nonprofit daily-offer rates are $4.99 USD per month or $19.99 USD per year. The daily offer runs from 1 a.m. until midnight in Denver time (America/Denver). New signups during the midnight-to-1 a.m. break use regular approved rates: $9.99 per month or $99 per year. These are scheduled rates, not a claim that the offer is active at this moment; the plans page and checkout show your current account price.
The annual amount is charged upfront for the full year, not monthly. Memberships renew at the amount confirmed at checkout until you cancel renewal in Manage billing. Canceling renewal does not immediately end the paid period. When paid access ends, projects become read-only and their saved final files remain available. Multiple staff seats are not included.
Apply before buying, with the account you will use
Educators, schools and nonprofit organizations can ask Y&L to review their use for teaching or community work. Sign in, choose the discount application below, and tell us your organization and what you plan to create. Use the email you already use for Maker; a school or .org address is not required and an email domain does not prove eligibility.
Approval is personal, not automatic. We aim to review requests in about 24 hours, but timing can vary. You can keep building your free draft while waiting. After approval, the notification links to the plan choices and the approved price follows that signed-in account for eligible passes and memberships. If the price does not look right, ask in Help before paying.
Need it printed? You can start with a free draft.
Create and save your design free, then use “Order a printed set” in the builder when you are ready. You do not need to buy a digital pass first. Choose the 50- or 100-board physical option and check the current price, shipping and delivery timing before ordering.
The education discount described here is for eligible Maker digital access. Physical production and shipping, optional AI credits, ready-made shop downloads and Etsy purchases are separate; a pass or membership is not an order for a shipped set. A physical order does not automatically include digital-download access. Catalog themes available inside Studio are distinct from ready-made shop files, and catalog artwork cannot be resold.
Start with the guide for your gathering
For a fundraiser, start with the purpose, local event rules, a realistic budget and enough different boards. For a community night, focus on the welcome, bilingual calling and a pace everyone can follow. Each guide includes a worksheet you can copy into your team notes.
A free event planner to print and share with your team
Bring the plan to the table. These two pages give you space for the event details, volunteer roles and running order, plus a blank budget and setup checklist. Fill in your own figures and confirm your event’s requirements separately. The planning notes on this page remain available too.
Download free, without an account, email address or purchase. This is a static PDF to print and complete by hand, not an interactive form or calculator. It contains planning worksheets, not Lotería cards or player boards.
