Villamanín Festival Committee Forms Association to Tackle €4 Million Lottery Dispute

The town hall maintains it had no role in the participations or their custody.

Overview

  • The newly constituted association has notarized custody of the winning décimos and is preparing a tax ID, a bank account and a secure website to register claims.
  • Organizers will offer in-person assistance for older ticket holders and plan to collect documented positions on any proposed settlement.
  • The municipal government reiterates it neither managed nor held the participations, offering to facilitate dialogue without assuming legal responsibility.
  • Associations and individuals across Spain are sending free décimos in solidarity with the local organizers.
  • Legal commentary suggests civil solutions, including a bankruptcy-style framework if consensus fails, as organizers and officials warn against sharing ticket photos or sending money before official channels open.
