The Lotería Nacional draw held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, delivered a total of €42 million in prizes across Spain. The event, conducted at 13:00 in the Salón de Sorteos de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, followed the traditional multi-drum system. This draw featured ten series of 100,000 tickets each, with each ticket priced at €60 and divided into décimos of €6. According to official figures, 70% of the total ticket sales were allocated to prizes.
The standout moment came when number 13247 was drawn for the first prize, awarding €600,000 per series, or €60,000 per décimo. The second prize, worth €120,000 per series (€12,000 per décimo), went to number 41270. These major prizes set the tone for a draw that saw significant winnings distributed nationwide.
Additional prizes included four extractions of four-digit numbers—4816, 2884, 2992, and 7537—each granting €1,500 per series. Ten three-digit extractions (011, 855, 631, 803, 658, 074, 702, 601, 073, 927) provided €300 per series, while nine two-digit extractions (44, 31, 12, 84, 56, 56, 12, 78, 60) offered €120 per series. These secondary prizes added further opportunities for participants to secure a win.
Special approximations were also awarded: €10,000 each for the numbers immediately before and after the first prize (13246 and 13248), and €5,540 each for the numbers adjacent to the second prize (41269 and 41271). Centena prizes of €300 per series were distributed to the remaining 99 numbers in the hundreds group of both the first and second prizes.
Further, 99 prizes of €300 per series were given to tickets matching the last three digits of the first prize, and 999 prizes of €120 per series went to those matching the last two digits. Reintegros, or refunds, were also a key feature: 9,999 tickets ending in the same last digit as the first prize (7), and two additional special one-digit extractions (2 and 1), each awarded 10,000 reintegros of €60 per series.
