Spain’s 2025 Christmas Lottery Confirms Bigger Ticket Run, Bizum Option for Small Wins

Guidance prioritizes eligibility rules, tax thresholds, plus official verification for safer play.

Overview

  • Organizers put 198 million décimos on sale across 198 series with €2.772 billion in prizes, including El Gordo at €4,000,000 per series, second prize at €1,250,000, and third at €500,000.
  • The draw is set for 22 December 2025, with each décimo priced at €20, according to the latest outlet guidance.
  • For Lotería de Navidad, one report states prizes under €2,000 can be paid at administrations in cash or via Bizum by scanning a QR code in the winner’s banking app, with Bizum supported by about 40 banks.
  • Coverage of other State games notes a separate practice: prizes under €2,500 are paid at administrations, while larger amounts require bank processing with ID.
  • Ley 13/2011 bars minors, self‑excluded players, certain operator staff and CNJ officials from participating, and buyers are urged to use official channels as resale of décimos is prohibited and punishable by fines.
