ticket

lottery ticket

Usage Note

Boleto is the standard word for a ticket (transport, event, lottery) throughout most of Latin America — boleto de avión, boleto de autobús. In Spain, billete is preferred for transport tickets and entrada for event tickets, so boleto can sound distinctly Latin American to a Spanish ear. In Mexico boleto is near-universal for any ticket.

Examples

"Compré el boleto de autobús en línea."

Natural Translation

I bought the bus ticket online.
