November in Spain is not only about anticipation for the Christmas holidays, but also a time of great hope linked to one of the year’s most iconic lottery events. We’re talking about the extraordinary ONCE draw, traditionally held on the symbolic date of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. In 2025, this event once again promises to capture the nation’s attention, as an impressive prize fund is up for grabs—one that could change the lives of several lucky winners overnight.
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, precisely at 21:30 local time, all of Spain will be glued to their screens to find out who the new millionaires are. Tickets for this much-anticipated draw can be purchased right up until 21:00 on the same day. They are available at official outlets as well as on the organization’s website. The draw will be broadcast live on television and also streamed via ONCE’s digital platforms and social media, which every year cover this exciting event.
The prize pool structure deserves special attention, as it is designed to bring joy to as many people as possible. The total winnings reach 21 million euros. The grand prize—11 million euros—will go to a single ticket holder whose number and series match the winning combination. In addition, eleven major prizes of one million euros each will be awarded. But the organizers’ generosity doesn’t end there. There are also 119 prizes of 50,000 euros, 1,080 prizes of 1,200 euros, as well as thousands of smaller—yet still delightful—rewards, including over a million refunds of the ticket price of 6 euros. This makes the draw one of the most generous of the year.
In 2025, this popular event will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. The tradition began in 2011 and has since become an integral part of Spanish autumn. Every year, the wave of luck sweeps across the entire country. In 2024, the grand prize of 11 million euros went to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while the remaining million-euro prizes were claimed by residents of Sevilla, Murcia, Madrid, the Basque Country, Catalonia, and Valencia. This lottery is not just a chance to get rich, but a true social phenomenon that gives thousands of people hope and a belief in miracles.
