No Euromillions Jackpot Winners in Spain — Jackpot Continues to Grow. No one in Spain won the top prize in the May 26 Euromillions draw. The jackpot has increased to 129 million euros. The winning El Millón code brought one million euros to a resident of Valladolid.
The Euromillones draw held on May 26 ended without a top-tier winner in Spain. Despite participation from nine European countries and a substantial international jackpot of 115 million euros, no Spanish ticket matched the complete winning combination: 06, 23, 25, 35, 37 and the stars 06 and 12. This means that in the next draw, which will take place on May 29, the top prize will grow to 129 million euros—one of the largest jackpots of the year.
At the same time, the accompanying El Millón draw brought luck to a resident of Valladolid: the holder of code CJL89675 received one million euros. As El Confidencial notes, all winnings up to 40,000 euros are tax-exempt, while amounts above this threshold are taxed at a rate of 20%. To claim large prizes—from 2,000 euros—winners must go exclusively to authorized banks such as BBVA and CaixaBank.
The cost of a single basic bet in Euromillones is 2.50 euros. To participate, you must choose five numbers from 1 to 50 and two stars from 1 to 12. Each ticket automatically enters the El Millón draw, increasing the chances of an additional win for players in Spain.
According to SELAE (Sociedad Estatal de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado), part of the ticket sales revenue is directed to social and public-interest projects. Among the beneficiaries are organizations such as Cruz Roja, Asociación Española contra el Cáncer, and Cáritas. This allows the lottery not only to attract attention with large cash prizes but also to support important initiatives in the country.
The drawing is traditionally broadcast live from Paris at 21:00 local time. You can follow the results on the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website and in El Confidencial. In the context of other changes related to infrastructure and services in Spain, it's worth noting that the Madrid authorities recently tightened controls and changed the metro schedule due to the Pope's visit — more details in the article about temporary transport restrictions in the capital.
Euromillones remains one of the most popular lotteries in Europe, and a growing jackpot traditionally sparks heightened interest among Spanish players. According to SELAE, participating in the lottery not only offers a chance at a large prize but also supports social programs. It's important to remember that the taxation rules for winnings and the procedure for receiving large sums are regulated by the state, and payouts are made only through official banking institutions. The next drawing promises to be one of the most anticipated of the year.
