Spain is buzzing with anticipation for one of the biggest lottery events of the year. This Saturday, November 8, the highly awaited Extraordinary ‘Cultura’ Draw for 2025, organized by the State Lottery and Gambling Administration, will take place. Second only to the legendary Christmas and New Year’s draws in scale, this event captures the attention of millions across the country. The total prize pool will reach an impressive €105 million, representing 70% of the total ticket sales worth €150 million.
The top prize could completely change the winner’s life: €1.5 million per series, which means €150,000 for each winning tenth-ticket, or ‘décimo’. The second prize is also substantial—€300,000 per series (€30,000 per décimo), and the third brings €150,000 per series (€15,000 per décimo). And the generosity doesn’t end there. There are twelve more prizes of €75,000 per series, along with numerous smaller payouts. In total, over 3.75 million prizes will be awarded, making the odds of winning very appealing for participants.
One of the main features of this draw is its accessibility. A single “décimo” costs just 15 euros. This is noticeably lower than the ticket prices for other major lotteries, such as the Christmas draw, making it possible for a wide range of people to try their luck without significant financial outlay. This pricing policy makes the lottery truly popular and underlines its social significance.
The draw ceremony itself will take place in Madrid, in the renowned Draw Hall of the State Lottery Administration. The procedure will follow the traditional system using several lottery machines, ensuring maximum transparency—an essential feature of all the major national draws. The atmosphere in the hall promises to be tense and exciting, as the whole country watches new millionaires being made live.
For those who want to follow the event live, there are several options available. The draw will begin precisely at 13:00 mainland Spain time and will last about twenty minutes. You can watch the live broadcast on the official website of the state lottery, where the complete list of winning numbers will be published immediately after the event ends. Additionally, results will be announced during the special TV program “La suerte en tus manos,” which airs every Saturday at 15:50 on one of the major national channels.
This lottery is more than just a game of chance—it’s an important event dedicated to celebrating and supporting Spain’s rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the importance of valuing the art, history, and traditions that shape the nation’s identity. For many, taking part in the lottery is not just a chance to win big, but also a way to express their connection to the country’s cultural life.
