On February 27, 2025, the Lotería Nacional, one of Spain's most beloved lottery games, held its weekly draw featuring exciting prizes and eager participants. The event took place at 21:00 hours in the Salón de Sorteos de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, utilizing multiple drums as per usual practice.
The grand first prize of €300,000 went to the winning number 67880, which has made headlines across the country. Notably, this amount is awarded per series, meaning each decimo, or tenth of the lottery ticket, earns players €30,000. This significant win was entirely sold out of Narón, A Coruña, making many locals ecstatic.
The second prize, valued at €60,000 per series, was claimed by the ticket number 35064. This ticket was sold across several locations including L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), Can Picafort (Baleares), A Coruña, Cúllar Vega (Granada), Oñati (Guipúzcoa), San Fernando (Las Palmas), Beniel (Murcia), Écija (Sevilla), and Las Cabezas de San Juan (Sevilla).
Besides the main prizes, there were additional opportunities for lottery players to win. The draw featured several smaller prizes:
- Four digits winning number results totaled four numbers: 0373, 5175, 3298, and 3124, each earning €750 per series.
- From the three-digit category, winners included 580, 098, 934, 534, 700, 916, and 770 earning €150 per series.
- Finally, the draw also featured two-digit winning numbers: 08, 03, 50, 32, 46, 91, 37, 69, and 85, which provided €60 per series.
Reintegros, or refunds, were also part of the draw, allowing additional recovery of bets for tickets ending with the digits 0, 3, and 2. When players do not win but have their ticket's last digit matching the winning number, they are entitled to get back their stake, making the game even more appealing.
For those curious about how to get involved, tickets for the draw are reasonably priced at €3 for the Thursday event. On ordinary Saturdays, ticket costs rise to €6, and special draws can range from €12 to €20 depending on the event. This accessibility ensures many can participate, keeping the lottery popular across various demographics.
It's worth noting the longevity of the Lotería Nacional, with its first draw occurring on March 4, 1812. Since then, it has become deeply ingrained as part of Spanish culture and society, regularly drawing participants every Thursday and Saturday.
Winning is just one part of the excitement. Checking results is easy, as they are made available shortly after the draw concludes. Players can view results via the official site of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado or through other news platforms.
Collecting winnings has also been made straightforward. For prizes up to €2,000, winners can claim their rewards directly at any lottery office. For larger sums, they need to visit authorized entities such as Caixabank and BBVA, ensuring they're prepared with their winning ticket and proper identification to facilitate payment quickly.
With many prizes available and the opportunity to win large sums, the Lotería Nacional continues to be one of the most cherished pastimes for Spaniards. Participants are reminded about the importance of the lottery - not just as individuals seeking to win but as part of the vibrant cultural fabric of Spain.
