The Christmas Lottery Good fortune has smiled upon the Balearic Islands once again. Monday's special lottery draw brought luck to various locations in Mallorca and Ibiza, thanks to a third prize and two fifth prizes that were sold, in whole or in part, in several municipalities across the islands. The number 90,693 won the third prize, worth €500,000 per series (€50,000 per tenth share), and was sold in the Port of Alcudia, Cala d'Or, and Consell. The number was drawn at 11:12 a.m., on the fourth wire of the fifth board.

What if it lands here...? This is the question that sparks the impulse to buy a lottery ticket every year around this time, as December 22nd, the date of the Christmas Lottery draw, approaches. Exactly thirty years ago, in 1995, the top prize was won in Coll d'en Rabassa, Palma. It was one of the rare occasions, barely a dozen, that the Christmas Lottery jackpot has favored the Canary Islands in over two centuries of history. Unlike Madrid, where it has landed 84 times, and Barcelona, ​​44 times.

The first prize in the Extraordinary Christmas Lottery, known as La Grossa, worth €400,000 per ticket and €328,000 net after taxes, would not be enough to buy a home in the Balearic Islands. According to average price data for the archipelago, an additional €178,313 would still be needed to reach the average price of €506,313 for a 90 m² property.²
