Number 91.770 surprised lottery players by taking the top prize in the Lotería Nacional for the second time in just 19 days. After winning on August 29, the same number came up again on Thursday, September 17, paying out 300,000 euros per series, or 30,000 euros per décimo, in cities including Torrepacheco, Vigo, Alhendín, Madrid and Valencia.
It’s extremely rare for the same number to win twice in such a short span. The Lotería Nacional has been running since 1811, and repeats like this almost never happen. The August draw was on a Saturday and paid out more, but Thursday’s win still brought a big payout. Anyone holding 91.770 has now won 90,000 euros per décimo across both draws.
The first prize in the September 17, 2026, draw was also distributed across Alicante, Burgos, Granada, the Balearic Islands, Las Palmas, Madrid, Murcia, Pontevedra, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Valencia, Las Provincias reported.
The second prize, 60,000 euros per series, or 6,000 euros per décimo, went to number 33.436. All tickets carrying the winning number were sold in Valencia, making the city the focus of this week’s second-tier prize.
Other prizes included four four-digit numbers (2.596, 3.743, 5.802, 9.582), each worth 75 euros per décimo. Seven three-digit numbers (072, 164, 299, 420, 544, 581, 738) paid 15 euros per décimo, and nine two-digit numbers (02, 25, 31, 35, 59, 62, 86, 86, 87) paid 6 euros per décimo. Tickets ending in 0, 8 or 9 received the reintegro, which refunds the ticket price.
How you claim a prize depends on how you bought your ticket and how much you won. If you bought online through the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado site, winnings are credited to your account, while larger prizes are transferred to a verified bank account. For physical décimos worth less than 2,000 euros, you can collect your winnings at any authorized lottery retailer. Bigger prizes require a visit to BBVA or CaixaBank. In every case, you need the original décimo in good condition to claim your prize.
El Mundo reported that Loterías y Apuestas del Estado and multiple independent media outlets say only results published by SELAE are legally valid. News sites may provide preliminary or aggregated data, but final verification should be done through the official platform.
Taxes also matter. Prizes up to 40,000 euros per décimo are tax-free, so both the first and second prizes from this draw are exempt from the 20% tax that applies to larger winnings. Winners keep the full amount.
The next draw is coming up soon. Saturday’s first prize will be 600,000 euros per series, twice as much as Thursday’s, and tickets cost 6 euros. Regular draws take place every Thursday evening and Saturday midday, while special events such as the Christmas and El Niño draws happen at other times of year.
To check results, visit the official SELAE website and enter your ticket number and draw date. You’ll need to keep your décimo in good condition, since it’s the only proof you can use to claim a prize.
This week’s décimo featured the illuminated Kursaal façade to mark the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival. Six million tickets with this design were sold across Spain, linking the lottery to the country’s cultural calendar.
The odds of winning the first prize are just 0.001%. The reintegro gives you a 30% chance of getting your ticket price back. The repeat win of 91.770 shows how unlikely events can happen: for a few players, Thursday’s draw turned an ordinary ticket into a major win.
