A true sensation unfolded in the northern Spanish city of Vigo: a local resident won one million euros in the latest Euromillones draw. The Spanish lottery has once again lived up to its reputation as a generous bringer of fortune, and Lorient Street, 12, will now forever be part of the city’s history as the place where the lucky ticket was issued.
On Tuesday, January 20, excitement around Euromillones reached its peak. Across Europe, two participants matched the second-tier combination, each receiving €295,401.45. In Spain, seven people won fourth-tier prizes, earning €1,075.22 each. But it was in Vigo where the top El Millón prize—a one-million-euro jackpot exclusive to Spanish players—was won by a random holder of the code XGJ14421.
The Secrets of Euromillones
Euromillones is more than just a lottery—it’s a phenomenon uniting millions across Europe. Since its launch in 2004, when France, Spain, and the United Kingdom first teamed up, the game has only grown in popularity. Today it includes nine countries, with staggering sums drawn every week.
Its main attraction is the chance to win a massive jackpot, starting at €17 million and potentially rising to €250 million. To win, players must match five numbers out of fifty and two lucky stars out of twelve. Even if the top prize eludes you, there are 12 additional prize tiers, making your chances of a win quite tangible.
The Spanish Exclusive
El Millón holds a special place in the Euromillones system. Only Spaniards are automatically entered into this additional draw, and every week someone becomes a millionaire, regardless of their main combination. This unique advantage has attracted even more fans to the lottery across the country.
This time, luck smiled on a resident of Galicia, specifically Vigo. The ticket was purchased at one of the city’s most renowned lottery outlets. Now, this address has become a pilgrimage site for everyone who believes in good fortune.
Record Jackpot
After the last draw, the main prize keeps growing. The next draw will have 99 million euros at stake. This attracts not only avid players but also those who are usually skeptical about lotteries. After all, anyone brave enough to try their luck has a chance to become a millionaire.
This Tuesday’s winning combination was: 22, 18, 19, 50, and 11, with the stars being 1 and 11. For El Millón, the code XGJ14421 was drawn. These numbers have already become a symbol of hope for thousands of Spaniards dreaming of financial freedom.
How to participate
Taking part in Euromillones is simple: just pick five numbers and two stars, and the system will automatically assign your ticket a unique code for El Millón. Draws are held on Tuesdays and Fridays at 21:00 Spanish time. Even if you don’t win the main prize, there’s always a chance to claim a substantial amount in one of the other categories.
With each new draw, excitement around the lottery only intensifies. Spaniards discuss the lucky winners, make plans for their potential winnings, and never lose hope that the next million will be theirs.
