El Sol is the watchful shining sun pictured in the number forty-six (46) card in the traditional bingo-like Mexican board game Loteria. The popular game has a deck of 54 picture cards, which is used to draw a picture card that will be the basis to find a corresponding matching picture in the randomly created 4 x 4 grid of pictures known as the tabla. The first to complete a previously agreed pattern on the tabla will shout “Loteria” and will be declared winner of the particular round of the game.
El Sol is a hopeful card in Loteria. He wears a long-sleeved black T-shirt, black stretch pants, black sneakers, a red face, and a giant Loteria card.
