A lucky winner from Pollença will collect €1,561,913.92 after matching all six numbers in the Bonoloto lottery draw held this Tuesday. According to Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (the Spanish National Lottery), the winning ticket was validated at lottery outlet number 60,205, located at 8 Miquel Costa i Llobera Street and run by Pep Vallori, who has been at the helm of the business for nearly 50 years. "We are very happy, because it brings prestige to us," the owner of the establishment points out. Vallori notes that this is not the first time they have distributed a prize of this magnitude, recalling a couple of prizes of €1,000,000 or more over the years. "We are experts at distributing these kinds of prizes," he remarks. However, Vallori still doesn't know who the winner is. "It could be someone from Pollença, Palma, or who knows; lots of people come here for excursions or walks," he points out. "We only know that they placed three bets of €1.50 each," he explains.

The 2025 Christmas lottery draw is already underway. Since 9 a.m. at the Teatro Real in Madrid, students from the Sant Ildefons school have been drawing balls from the drums and announcing the winning numbers in the traditional Christmas draw, which is expected to last until after 1 p.m.

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.
