The Lotería Nacional draw on Thursday, August 27, 2026, awarded its basic prize of €300,000 per series. It commemorated the 500th anniversary of San Bartolomé de las Abiertas, a small municipality in Toledo province. Organized by SELAE, the draw is one of Spain’s oldest games of chance. It dates to 1811, when it was created to raise funds during the War of Independence.
This week’s draw commemorated San Bartolomé de las Abiertas, a town whose name, information from the local council, was chosen by lottery five centuries ago. The commemorative ticket marked the key stage and linked the present-day lottery tradition with the town’s past.
The winning numbers for the August 27 draw were as follows: first prize, 21613; second prize, 70637. The additional four-digit extractions were 0886, 2758, 4737, and 5472. The three-digit extractions were 073, 169, 333, 462, 763, 830, and 932. The two-digit numbers selected were 03, 15, 19, 29, 41, 49, 56, 74, and 78. The reintegro numbers were 0, 2, and 3.
Each winning décimo for the first prize received €30,000, while the second prize paid €6,000 per décimo. Four-digit extractions paid €75 per décimo, three-digit extractions €15, and two-digit extractions €6. Eligible tickets could also win the reintegro prize.
Within minutes of the draw, results appeared on the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website, where participants could check their tickets. EL PAÍS also offered an online tool to check the winning numbers. The Lotería Nacional remains a fixture in Spanish society, with draws every Thursday and Saturday and many prizes. It also retains its historical significance.
The Lotería Nacional is among Europe’s oldest lotteries, and its format has evolved over two centuries. Its draws are known for their transparency and public appeal. Special editions often commemorate impressive anniversaries or local events. The system of décimos, individual ticket shares, allows broad participation and makes the lottery part of everyday life for many Spaniards. This year’s dedication to San Bartolomé de las Abiertas reflects the lottery’s ongoing connection to Spanish history and regional identity.
