Villamanín Festival Committee Banks Gordo Winnings, Plans Winner Registration Portal

Registration will be mandatory to claim through the association, with a March 22 cutoff.

Overview

  • The committee says the prize money has been deposited into an association bank account to provide control, traceability and secure payout handling.
  • A web platform is being built for winners to enroll and is expected to go live in roughly two weeks, according to the committee.
  • Registered claimants will review a distribution agreement and state whether they adhere to it to enable verification and payment.
  • The process aims to confirm ownership and prevent duplicate claims as a dispute persists over about €4 million in unofficial participations alongside nearly €36 million in official tickets.
  • In-person help sessions will be arranged in Villamanín and in León for people with limited digital access, and the website will be the only official channel for claims.
