The Lotería Nacional held its draw on February 8, 2025, with excitement breaking out across Spain as the nation awaited the results of one of its most popular traditions.
Managed by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, the draw occurred at 13:00 and resulted in the distribution of prizes totaling 42 million euros. The first major prize of 600,000 euros was awarded to the number 63457, meaning each winning ticket received 60,000 euros. This prize was celebrated across multiple locations, fostering joy among the fortunate winners scattered from Majadahonda to Torrent, as well as towns like Vitoria-Gasteiz and Elche.
Second place was claimed by the number 61790, which won 120,000 euros per series, translating to 12,000 euros for each winning ticket. Villajoyosa received the honor of being the sole receiver of this prize, highlighting the city's luck during this draw.
Smaller prize winners were also rewarded, showcasing the various extraction categories available. Four-digit extracts awarded 150 euros each to winners with numbers 1347, 1787, 2422, and 4741. Ten three-digit numbers including 091, 357, 946, and others each earned their owners 30 euros. Meanwhile, two-digit number winners like 49, 50, 36, and others received 12 euros.
The draw also introduced the concept of reintegro (reimbursements) for those whose tickets ended with the digits 4, 7, or 8, providing them with 6 euros back, effectively ensuring they at least recoup part of their expenses.
Winning tickets were issued from various towns, promoting camaraderie and excitement—where lucky participants gathered to celebrate their fortunes. The appreciation for lottery traditions runs deep, emphasizing cultural significance.
For those who won larger sums, the process of claiming their prizes is straightforward. Winners can cash out smaller amounts (up to 2,000 euros) at any authorized Loterías y Apuestas store, or through designated banks for amounts exceeding this threshold. Prizes must be claimed within three months; hence, timely visits to the appropriate venues are encouraged.
The next opportunity to join the excitement will occur on February 15, for the extraordinary San Valentín draw, where the stakes are raised even higher with potential prizes reaching millions. The lottery continuously engages the public, instilling hope and community spirit.
With today's results behind us, players eagerly ponder if fortune may smile upon them next time. The rich heritage of the Lotería Nacional remains unshaken, promising more chances for smiles and celebrations long after each draw.
