¡La posta! / El ancho de espadas / El comodín / La que vale


Explanation:
“La posta” is a bit colloquial. "El ancho de espadas" comes from the Argentinean card game "truco", in which this card is the highest value. Something commoner is "el comodín” but with the same connotation. “La que vale” is the most accurate term. It all depends on the degree of colloquiality of the book concerned.

in my opinion "esto es!" no es tan malo como tìtulo. Creo que serìa como responder a la pregunta implìcita: you're asking yourself what's the lottery? this is it!
very colloquial, very simple, aimed to a not so skilled target.. keep it low!
