Rojales celebrates €60,000 lottery win in National Lottery draw

Lady Luck smiled down on the Vega Baja region, as the first prize in the National Lottery draw was awarded in Rojales, where one of the winning tickets was sold. The draw, which took place on Saturday, May 9, resulted in the winning ticket number 21,254, worth €600,000 per series, meaning €60,000 per ticket.

Rojales’ lucky locals: Major prize awarded in the Costa Blanca South municipality

The winning ticket was sold at the lottery administration located at Calle Valentín Fuster, Number 16 in the Costa Blanca municipality of Rojales. Apart from the jaw-dropping sum, the awarding of this prize was especially significant for the administration: this was the first major prize it has distributed since 2022, the year in which it distributed the second prize of the National Lottery in the Thursday draw.

How the Spanish National Lottery works

In Spain, the Thursday National Lottery tickets, called décimos, are sold for €3 each on average, and the first prize is usually €30,000. The Saturday National Lottery tickets are more varied, ranging anywhere in price from €6, to €20, and can produce a prize ranging from €60,000 to €120,000 for whoever is lucky enough to snag the winning ticket.

Other major prizes awarded this year on the Costa Blanca

This is far from the first time that residents have struck gold on the Costa Blanca. Earlier this year, a Benidorm lottery office struck gold twice in just four days. The winning ticket number, 46,705, was awarded the second prize of the National Lottery on January 10, worth a jaw-dropping €300,000 per number, and was sold at El Racó de La Sort, located on one of Benidorm’s main tourist and commercial arteries.

This exciting award came just four days after the same outlet sold winning tickets for the first prize of the El Niño draw, making it the second major prize in less than a week for the lottery office.
