The Lotería Nacional delivered a rare twist as number 91.770 claimed the top prize for the second time in less than three weeks. With major winnings spread across Spain and strict rules for claiming prizes, this draw stands out for both its luck and its logistics.
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 like 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 this Thursday’s win still meant a big payout. Anyone holding 91.770 has now collected 90,000 euros per décimo across both draws.
The official results confirm that the first prize for the September 17, 2026 draw was distributed across a wide range of Spanish provinces, including Alicante, Burgos, Granada, the Balearic Islands, Las Palmas, Madrid, Murcia, Pontevedra, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Valencia.
The second prize—60,000 euros per series, or 6,000 euros per décimo—went to number 33.436. All of these winnings were sold in Valencia, making the city the main focus for 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 got the reintegro, which refunds the ticket price.
How you claim a prize depends on how you bought your ticket and the amount won. If you bought online through the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado site, winnings are credited to your account, and larger prizes are transferred to a verified bank account. For physical décimos under 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.
According to multiple independent media and the official Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, the only legally valid results are those published by SELAE. News sites may provide preliminary or aggregated data, but final verification should always be done through the official platform.
Taxes are another factor. 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—with tickets selling for 6 euros. Regular draws happen every Thursday evening and Saturday midday, with special events like the Christmas and El Niño draws at other times of year.
To check results, visit the official SELAE website, where you can enter your ticket number and draw date. You’ll need to keep your décimo in good shape, since it’s the only proof you can use to claim a prize.
This week’s décimo featured the illuminated Kursaal façade, marking the 74th San Sebastián International Film Festival. Six million tickets with this design were sold across Spain, tying the lottery to the country’s cultural calendar.
The odds of winning the first prize are just 0.001%. The reintegro gives a 30% chance of getting your ticket price back. Still, as the repeat win of 91.770 shows, unlikely things do happen. For a few players, this Thursday’s draw turned an ordinary ticket into a major win.
