For prizes of 2,000 euros or more, winners must visit financial institutions authorized by SELAE (Sociedad Estatal Loterías y Apuestas del Estado) to claim their earnings. Both minor and major prizes have a strict 90-day collection period, beginning the day after the last draw associated with the ticket, after which unclaimed winnings expire.
It is important to note that, as highlighted by EL MUNDO, the only official and legally valid list of winning numbers is published by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (LAE). Any discrepancies or errors in secondary sources do not affect the official outcome, and players are advised to consult the LAE website for confirmation.
