The winning décimos can be claimed starting the day after the draw, with a 90-day window for collection. Prizes under 2,500 euros are payable at any Loterías y Apuestas del Estado administration, while amounts above 40,000 euros are subject to a 20% tax withheld by the Agencia Tributaria.
This year’s July draw also carried a special dedication: the décimo design honored the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, highlighting the lottery’s tradition of supporting social causes. The Lotería Nacional, managed by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) under the Ministry of Finance, traces its roots back to 1763, with its current format established in Cádiz in 1811 as a means to fund the public treasury during the War of Independence.
In total, the draw distributed 3,755,500 prizes, reinforcing its status as a major summer event for lottery enthusiasts across Spain. The structure of the awards included 1,500,000 euros per series for the first prize, 300,000 euros per series for the second, and 150,000 euros per series for the third, alongside twelve additional prizes of 7,500 euros each.
For those interested in other major events in Spain this July, the national focus also extends to sports, as Spain prepares for a high-stakes football semifinal against France, following a dramatic victory over Belgium.

The Lotería Nacional remains a fixture of Spanish life, combining tradition, excitement, and the chance for life-changing prizes, while also supporting public causes and reflecting the country’s enduring enthusiasm for games of chance.
