ONCE Daily Draw: Check Wednesday's Results
Listen to the story
ONCE, the Spanish organisation that supports blind and visually impaired people, held its daily lottery draw on Wednesday, 12 August 2026.
The daily coupon, a type of ticket that people can buy every day, was linked to a draw called 'TrÃo de Eclipses'. Players were able to check whether their numbers matched the winning ones.
ONCE also runs another game called Super Once. This draw also took place on the same Wednesday, and results were published for people to check.
Selling these daily coupons is one of the main ways that ONCE raises money. The money helps fund services and support for blind and visually impaired people across Spain.
Many people in Spain buy these tickets every day, often from street sellers who work for the organisation. Winning a prize can mean anything from a small amount of money to a much larger sum, depending on the game and the numbers chosen.
After each draw, ONCE publishes the official results, so that anyone who bought a coupon can quickly check if they have won. This system runs every day of the year, giving people regular chances to win prizes while also supporting a good cause.
