EuroMillions: Spain creates another millionaire as UK scoops €130 million

On Friday night, Spain added yet another EuroMillions millionaire to its list of lucky ticket holders, although it did not secure the biggest prize on offer. A winning ticket in the United Kingdom, however, took home the €130 million jackpot. The Spanish lucky numbers drawn were 11 – 12 – 15 – 38 – 49, with lucky stars 10 and 12. The winning El Millón code was purchased at receptor 22,755 in San Enrique de Guadiaro, Cadiz, bestowing one Spanish ticket holder a €1 million reward.

In addition to the Spanish millionaire, Friday's EuroMillions draw yielded a third prize winner in Spain. One lucky ticket matched all five main numbers but missed both stars, confirming a €31,693.31 win at lottery shop No. 8 in San Sebastian, Guipuzcoa. On Friday, the EuroMillions draw attracted over €83.1 million in total sales across participating countries.

Spain has a history of producing large EuroMillions prizes. The country's biggest ever win was in October 2017, when a ticket from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria claimed €190 million, remaining Spain's record EuroMillions payout. The previous Spanish record stood at €137.3 million, won in Parla, Madrid, in 2014. Since the game began in 2004, Spain has produced hundreds of major EuroMillions winners.

Historical EuroMillions statistics place the UK at the forefront for total jackpot-winning tickets with 137, followed by France with 133 and Spain with 124. These figures cover the game's history and may change as new jackpots are won. Despite the UK and France having larger populations, Spain has a notable position due to its high number of winning tickets. Friday's jackpot has now been claimed, while Tuesday's EuroMillions draw will offer a guaranteed €17 million to anyone who matches five numbers and two Lucky Stars.
