Overview
- Spain’s gambling law bars minors, self-excluded or judicially banned individuals, legally incapacitated people, significant stakeholders and staff of the operator, and certain gaming commission personnel from taking part in the Christmas Lottery.
- Prizes under €2,000 can be collected in cash at lottery outlets or via Bizum by generating a QR code in the player’s banking app for the clerk to scan.
- Winnings above €2,000 must be processed at a bank through transfer under the procedures set by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado.
- Players are urged to buy only through official channels, as street resale is penalized with fines of €601 to €3,000 under the Lottery Regulations and can void payment if fraud is proven.
- News sites will publish provisional results on draw day that must be confirmed against the official list released by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado.
