Over €136,000 Won in Lotteries in Don Benito and Alconchel. Friday evening brought substantial winnings to the residents of Don Benito and Alconchel. More than €136,000 were won in two lotteries in Extremadura. Major prizes went to winners of Euromillones and Bonoloto.
On Friday evening, two lottery draws—Euromillones and Bonoloto—brought significant winnings to residents of Extremadura. In total, more than 136,000 euros were distributed in the region, with luck smiling on residents of Don Benito and Alconchel. In both cases, these are large sums resulting from successful bets in popular national lotteries.
In the Euromillones draw held on May 29, there were no tickets that matched the jackpot combination (five numbers and two stars). However, two second-category tickets (five numbers and one star) were registered in Spain: one at lottery administration No. 4 in Don Benito (Badajoz), and the other in Oviedo (Asturias). Each winner received €98,854.13. In the third category (five numbers without stars), prizes went to residents of Granada, Murcia, and Gipuzkoa, each winning €18,903.14. The total amount raised in Euromillones that day was €68,175,265.40. Additionally, a one-million-euro prize was registered in Madrid with the special code 'El Millón'.
That same evening, the Bonoloto draw also took place. Here too, there were no first-category winners (six matches), so the main jackpot rolls over to the next draw, where the prize could reach 700,000 euros. However, four second-category tickets (five matches plus the bonus number) were recorded in different regions of the country, including in Alconchel (Badajoz). Each of these tickets brought its holder €38,303.81. The remaining winners were in Alicante, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and Madrid. The total Bonoloto revenue for this draw amounted to €2,370,942.50.
Lottery winnings in Spain traditionally attract attention not only because of the large sums involved, but also due to the wide geographic spread of winners. This time, Extremadura was in the spotlight, with Don Benito and Alconchel enjoying their moment of fame. By comparison, sports events in other regions of the country also spark public discussion: recently, for example, a Basque club secured an important victory in Madrid, which was covered in detail in the article about the decisive match between Kosner Baskonia and Real Madrid.
Spanish lotteries remain among the most popular in Europe, with their draws regularly awarding millions of euros. Euromillones and Bonoloto stand out not only for their scale but also for the odds of winning: in the first case, prize amounts can reach hundreds of millions, while in the second, more accessible prizes are more common. The next Euromillones draw promises a record jackpot of €141 million, which could attract even more participants. It is important to remember that lottery winnings in Spain are subject to taxation, and part of the funds is traditionally allocated to social and cultural projects.
