The Lotería Nacional held its latest draw on Saturday, March 29, 2025, distributing a total of 42 million euros in prizes. This long-standing lottery, celebrated every weekend, continues to capture the attention of many across Spain.

The first prize of the day, amounting to 60,000 euros per décimo (600,000 euros per series), was awarded to the number 74834. This winning number was sold entirely in the towns of Pilar de la Horadada and Orihuela, both located in Alicante.

The second prize, which offers 12,000 euros per décimo (120,000 euros per series), went to the number 49825. This prize was sold entirely in the capital of A Coruña, adding to the joy of those lucky enough to hold winning tickets.

In addition to the major prizes, the draw also featured several smaller prizes, providing a chance for more players to win. Four-figure extractions awarded 150 euros per décimo to the numbers ending in 0023, 6969, 8645, and 9167. Meanwhile, ten three-figure extractions rewarded players with 30 euros per décimo for numbers ending in 066, 086, 141, 339, 555, 644, 645, 687, 822, and 912.

For those with two-figure tickets, nine numbers were drawn to award 12 euros per décimo. These numbers were 02, 16, 21, 39, 71, 72, 85, 92, and 97. Additionally, the reintegros, which allow players to recover their stake, were for tickets ending in 0, 4, and 5, each returning 6 euros.

Players should be aware that while the first 40,000 euros of any prize are exempt from taxation, any amount exceeding this will be taxed at a rate of 20%. This means that only those who win the major prizes will need to consider tax implications.

Looking ahead, the next draw will be the Sorteo Extraordinario de la Cruz Roja, scheduled for the following Saturday, which will offer a first prize of 150,000 euros per décimo. Tickets for this special draw are currently available for 15 euros each. Additionally, an ordinary draw will take place on Thursday, featuring a first prize of 30,000 euros per décimo, with tickets priced at 3 euros.

The Lotería Nacional has a rich history dating back to the 19th century and remains one of the most popular games in Spain. The draw this Saturday was particularly special as it marked the 50th anniversary of the Hospital Clínico Universitario de la Virgen de Arrixaca, with the lottery ticket dedicated to this significant milestone.

Players looking to check if their tickets have won can easily do so by visiting the official website of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, where they can enter their ticket number and find out instantly if they’ve struck it lucky. This user-friendly feature allows players to verify results not just for the current draw but also for past draws.

As the excitement builds for future draws, players are reminded that the Lotería Nacional is not limited to just Thursdays and Saturdays. Special editions are held on significant dates such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day, often featuring much larger prizes that attract even more interest.

In conclusion, the Lotería Nacional continues to be a source of hope and excitement for many in Spain, with each draw bringing the possibility of life-changing winnings. As players prepare for the upcoming draws, the thrill of the lottery remains a cherished tradition.
