Listen to the story

The Spanish lottery organization ONCE held its regular Friday draw on August 14, 2026. Players could check the results for several games that day.

One of the main games is the Cuponazo, a special Friday lottery with large prizes. ONCE also runs the Super ONCE, a numbers game with its own prize structure.

Two other games were also drawn that day: the Triplex, which uses a three-digit number, and Mi Día, a daily game with its own set of numbers.

ONCE is a well-known organization in Spain. It supports blind and disabled people, and part of the money from ticket sales goes toward this work.

Millions of people across Spain buy ONCE tickets regularly, hoping to win a prize. Results are published soon after each draw so players can check quickly.

People can find the winning numbers through the official ONCE website, on television, or through news reports. Many players compare their ticket numbers with the announced results right away.

The Friday draws are especially popular because the Cuponazo often has bigger prizes than the daily games held during the rest of the week.
