Overview
- Loterías y Apuestas del Estado will publicly examine and count the balls on Dec. 21, then convene a five‑member presidential table on Dec. 22 with representatives from SELAE, the Madrid city council and the central government.
- Per Agencia Tributaria, lottery prizes up to €40,000 are tax‑exempt, with withholding applied to amounts above that threshold.
- Famous sellers such as Doña Manolita in Madrid and La Bruixa d’Or in Sort are cultural fixtures that sell far more décimos than typical shops, which raises their likelihood of distributing winning tickets in absolute terms.
- Financial advisers recommend winners first “buy time” by placing funds in remunerated accounts or short‑term low‑risk products, avoiding impulsive outlays and investing only in instruments they understand.
- Other confirmed results on Dec. 17: Bonoloto drew 10, 11, 13, 17, 33, 36 (complementary 1; reintegro 0) and ONCE announced 69672 as the winning number, awarding €500,000 per ticket.
