The images on lotería cards are also considered folk art, depicting popular Mexican figures such as "El Borracho" (The drunkard), "La Calavera" (The skeleton), and "La Chalupa" (The flower boat). Other images on traditional lotería game cards can also include fruits, vegetables, world flags, etc. Nowadays, modern lotería game cards don't show as many Mexican fixtures, but can be a tool to teach Spanish in American schools.
