This particular draw was dedicated to celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Vuelta ciclista a Asturias, a significant cycling event in Spain, and honored Julio Álvarez ‘Mendo’, the president of the Asturian Cycling Federation, who has organized the event for nearly half a century. The Lotería Nacional, with its rich history dating back to the 18th century, continues to be a cornerstone of Spanish culture and society.
For those fortunate enough to hold winning tickets, the process to claim prizes is straightforward. Winners can collect their prizes starting from Sunday, April 27, 2025, and they have a period of up to three months to claim them, or they risk losing their right to the prize. If the winning amount is less than 2,000 euros, it can be collected directly at any authorized lottery administration. For amounts exceeding that, winners must visit one of the authorized banks, such as Abanca, Banco Sabadell, BBVA, CaixaBank, Cajasur, Banco Cajamar, Caja Rural, Ibercaja, Kutxabank, or Unicaja, presenting their ID and the winning ticket.
As the excitement of the draw unfolds, the anticipation for future events remains high. The next draw of the Lotería Nacional will be the extraordinary draw for Mother's Day on Sunday, May 4, 2025, providing yet another opportunity for players to try their luck.
