Spanish National Lottery Distributes €105 Million in AECC Extraordinary Draw
The Spanish National Lottery concluded its Extraordinary Draw in support of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) on Saturday, April 11, 2026. The event, which serves as a critical fundraising mechanism for oncology research and patient support in Spain, featured a total prize pool of €105 million—a figure significantly higher than those seen in standard lottery draws.
The most significant windfall of the evening was centered in San Javier, Murcia, where the first prize was awarded. The winning number, 46439, yielded €150,000 per tenth of a ticket (décimo), resulting in a total payout of €1.5 million for the major win in San Javier.
This annual draw, established in 1989, highlights the intersection of public gaming and corporate social responsibility, leveraging high-stakes incentives to drive philanthropic contributions. The scale of the prize pool underscores the continued economic viability of this model in funding national healthcare initiatives.
Other major awards distributed during the Madrid-based event included:
- Second Prize: Number 46504, awarded €30,000 per décimo.
- Third Prize: Number 78721, awarded €15,000 per décimo, with reports indicating prizes awarded in Córdoba via a double third prize.
The lottery as well issued a wide array of smaller prizes to maintain broad participant engagement. These included five-digit numbers rewarded with €75 per décimo, four-digit numbers at €375 and three-digit numbers at €75. Two-digit numbers received €30, while reimbursements for numbers ending in 1, 5, and 9 provided €15 per décimo.
The draw commenced at 13:00 (peninsular time) on April 11, 2026, at the LoterÃas y Apuestas del Estado headquarters in Madrid.
