0:00 / 0:00

Listen to the story

ONCE, the Spanish organisation for blind and disabled people, held its regular Cuponazo draw on Friday, 14 August 2026. The organisation also carried out the Super Once draw on the same day.

The Cuponazo is a weekly special edition of the daily ONCE lottery. It normally offers larger prizes than the everyday draws. People across Spain buy tickets with different numbers, hoping to match the winning combination.

Super Once is a separate game that is also drawn regularly. Players can choose to take part in both draws if they buy the right tickets. Results are announced live and then published quickly.

Every Friday, thousands of people in Spain check whether they have won a prize. ONCE publishes the official results on its website soon after each draw finishes. Newspapers, including El Mundo, also report the numbers so readers can check them easily.

ONCE is well known in Spain because sellers offer tickets in the street every day. Money raised through these lottery games supports the organisation's work with blind and disabled people. Because of this, the draws are followed with interest not only by regular players but also by people who support the organisation's social mission.

On 14 August 2026, both the Cuponazo and Super Once draws took place as scheduled, and results were made available for anyone wanting to check their tickets.
