Lucky Velez-Malaga player banks over €112,000 in Friday EuroMillions draw

Fortune smiled on a lottery ticket holder in Velez-Malaga after Friday’s EuroMillions draw delivered a second-category prize worth €112,479. Staff at the Administracion de Loterias Virgen de Lourdes lottery shop on Calle Cristo confirmed the winning slip that matched five main numbers plus one Lucky Star.

Winning numbers drawn were 26, 29, 35, 38 and 47, with stars 1 and 2. Only one first-category ticket (five numbers plus both stars) appeared across Europe, and that landed in Belgium, scooping a jackpot of €111,058,174. Spain produced two second-category winners in total; the other ticket was sold in Oropesa del Mar in Castellon.

Axarquia and Malaga Province keeps the good luck rolling

This latest payout continues a decent run for Malaga province. Earlier in the week an El Millon code worth one million euros was sold at Administracion number 10 in Estacion de Cartama on Avenida Andalucia. That earlier success already had local players talking, and Friday’s result in the Axarquia has only added to the chatter.

El Millon itself went to a ticket in Teia, Barcelona, on this occasion. Code FDB34577 was the lucky one. Next Tuesday’s draw will open with a guaranteed first-category fund of €17 million, so plenty of players will be back at the counters hoping the streak continues.

What the numbers mean for Spanish players

Second-category prizes of this size remain relatively rare and always generate local excitement when they land in smaller towns. Velez-Malaga’s central lottery shop on Calle Cristo has now joined the short list of outlets that have handed out six-figure EuroMillions cheques this summer. Official results and full prize breakdowns are published by Loterias y Apuestas del Estado and can be checked on the SELAE website.

Players still holding tickets from Friday have three months to claim any winnings. With the jackpot reset to a more modest level, many will view the next few draws as a good time to play again without the pressure of a massive rollover. Whether the next big Spanish win lands in the Axarquia or further afield remains to be seen, but Friday’s result has given one Velez-Malaga resident a very welcome boost.

Anyone wanting the full European prize table or past results can find them on the official EuroMillions results pages or the Loterias y Apuestas del Estado website. Local lottery shops across Malaga province continue to report steady interest as the summer draws roll on.
