Yesterday I wanted to play lottery (lotería) with my friends.

Unfortunatelly some of them don´t speak Spanish, so I would like to translate the names of the figures in the table for them. Could you please help me to translate the names of the figures below for them?

I will start with the first one:

1 El gallo, the rooster.

Well done! I hope you have enjoyed this game. By the way, what is the difference between shrimp and prawn? I've never heard this word.

the shrimp is apparently British English and prawn is American English or the other way round ;) - monilonis, May 12, 2011
