Spain is one of the three original EuroMillions countries and has been part of the lottery since the launch in 2004. EuroMillions is especially popular in Spain because every eligible ticket also includes entry into the national El Millón raffle, which gives one player the chance to win €1 million.
Spanish EuroMillions combines the huge international jackpot with a strong local feature. If you already know the French My Million or the UK Millionaire Maker, then El Millón is Spain’s own extra millionaire draw.
El Millón lotto tickets in Spain
When you buy a Spanish EuroMillions ticket, you are automatically entered into El Millón. This is an extra raffle for Spanish players only, and one matching code wins €1 million in every eligible draw.
That means Spanish players get two chances on the same ticket: the main EuroMillions prize tiers and the national El Millón code draw. If you want to understand the main game mechanics first, visit our page on how to play EuroMillions.
Selecting numbers for your Spanish ticket
A standard EuroMillions ticket in Spain costs €2.50. To enter, you choose five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12, exactly like in the other participating countries.
You can choose your own numbers or use a random quick-pick option. If you like checking which numbers appear most often, you can compare your strategy with our overview of EuroMillions draws and results.
Two draws every week
EuroMillions has two draws every week: one on Tuesday and one on Friday. El Millón is linked to those same draw days, so every draw night is also a chance to become an instant millionaire in Spain.
If you buy a ticket before the relevant sales deadline, you are entered into the next available draw. Some players choose the same numbers for both weekly draws, while others prefer a fresh selection each time.
Loterías y Apuestas del Estado
Loterías y Apuestas del Estado is the Spanish state lottery organisation responsible for major national draw games, including EuroMillions. It operates through official online channels and a wide retail network across Spain.
Spain is also one of the EuroMillions countries where lottery tax matters are especially relevant. For a broader overview of withholding tax and country differences, see our guide to lottery taxes in European countries.
