“I started with just the Rona one and then kept having ideas for others," Gonzales said.

Since the first card came out he’s created over a dozen more.

“It has become a light-hearted distraction from all the news and being stuck at home,” Gonzales said.

Other cards include “La Botella” depicting a bottle of hand sanitizer, “El Hoarder” showing rolls of toilet paper and “El Homeskool” depicting a tablet.

“Our SA community relates to Loteria and it brings a sense of comfort, family, and fun during all of this,” Gonzales said.
