Last Tuesday, November 4, turned out to be a lucky day for Euromillones lottery players in Spain. Although no one hit the main prize, several tickets purchased in the country brought significant winnings to their owners. With no first-category winner, the jackpot will continue to grow and could exceed an impressive €97 million in the next draw.
One player from Argentona, a small town in the province of Barcelona, had particular luck, winning a second-category prize of €197,500. Fortune also smiled on a participant from San Cristóbal de La Laguna in Tenerife and another lucky winner whose tickets also matched the second-category winning combination. These successes prove that you don’t need to hit a multimillion-euro jackpot to win big.
However, the biggest prize of the evening in Spain was awarded in the special national draw ‘El Millón.’ A guaranteed €1 million went to the autonomous city of Ceuta. This extra draw is an exclusive feature for Spanish participants, where each ticket is assigned a unique code—one of which is guaranteed to win with every drawing.
The winning combination for Tuesday’s draw was: 6, 9, 25, 28, and 45. The lucky ‘Stars’ this time were 1 and 4. The code that secured victory in ‘El Millón’ was VDZ25537.
Euromillones, one of the world’s largest transnational lotteries, has a rich history. It was launched in February 2004 by lottery operators in Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. Over time, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland joined the project, turning it into a pan-European phenomenon. Draws are held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, attracting millions of players with the dream of winning a colossal prize.
The rules are quite simple: you need to pick five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two additional numbers, called ‘stars’, from 1 to 12. There are 13 prize categories overall, so there’s a chance to win even if you match just a few numbers. The minimum guaranteed jackpot is 17 million euros, and starting from 2024, its maximum is capped at 250 million euros, making it one of the most sought-after lottery prizes in the world.
