The Bonoloto draw on August 20 ended without a top-prize winner. One ticket in Andorra secured more than €163,000, while over 517,000 players received a small refund. Tax rules apply to larger winnings.

Thursday’s August 20 Bonoloto draw produced no winner in the top category, leaving the basic jackpot unclaimed. The winning numbers were 1, 2, 16, 20, 28 and 47, with 10 as the complementary number and 9 as the reintegro, or refund number. El Confidencial reported that, with no first-category winner, the jackpot would roll over to the next draw, increasing the potential prize pool for future participants.

In the second prize category, which requires five correct numbers plus the complementary number, a single ticket validated in Sant Julià de Lòria, Andorra, won €163,907.67. It was the only ticket to achieve this combination in the draw. Meanwhile, 74 players matched five numbers, each receiving €1,107.48. The fourth category, for four correct numbers, had 4,579 winners, each awarded €26.85. Another 87,955 participants matched three numbers and received €4 each. Also, 517,653 tickets matched the reintegro number, entitling their holders to a €0.50 refund.

Bonoloto is held daily, and each ticket costs €0.50. Winners have three months from the day after the draw to claim their prizes. SELAE’s draw-specific results pages list the winning combination and the complementary and reintegro numbers, while separate prize notices detail the distribution across categories. Later draws show how those categories work: on October 23, 2026, a first-category ticket validated in Sarria, Lugo, won €400,316.65, while four second-category winners received €36,392.42 each, information from a report citing Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE). The August 20 draw began at 21:30 and was broadcast live on SELAE’s official website, with minute-by-minute coverage from El Confidencial.

The largest Bonoloto jackpot to date was awarded on January 17, 2024, when a ticket validated in Lorca, Murcia, won €10,614,853.61. Spanish lottery prizes above €40,000 are subject to a 20% tax on the amount exceeding that threshold. The rule so applies to the portion of the Andorra-validated prize above €40,000. The Spanish new idea sector has also seen recent achievements, including the recognition of ITI director Laura Olcina for her leadership, as highlighted in a recent report on national new idea awards.

Bonoloto remains one of Spain’s popular lottery games, with daily draws and an accessible ticket price. Its prize categories offer returns to lower-tier winners, while rollovers can increase the jackpot when no ticket matches all six numbers. Frequent draws, modest entry costs and the chance to win large prizes continue to attract participants across Spain and neighboring regions. Players should check their tickets promptly and account for the tax treatment of larger prizes.
