Spain's National Lottery Draw Held on Saturday, November 7
Listen to the story
Spain's Lotería Nacional held a special extraordinary draw on Saturday, November 7.
An extraordinary draw is bigger and more special than the lottery's regular weekly draws. It usually offers larger prizes to winners.
The Lotería Nacional is one of Spain's most popular lottery games. Players buy tickets with numbers, hoping to match the winning combination announced during the draw.
In this draw, the lottery distributed more than 450,000 euros among four locations in the city of Segovia. This means several tickets sold at different points in Segovia were winning tickets.
Meanwhile, in the city of Málaga, two of the biggest prizes were won. The first prize, which is the top award in the draw, went to a ticket sold there. The second prize, the next biggest amount, was also won in Málaga.
These results mean that two Spanish cities, Segovia and Málaga, were the main winners of this particular draw. After every draw, people across Spain check their tickets against the official winning numbers to see if they have won any money.
The Lotería Nacional has a long history in Spain and remains a popular tradition. Many Spaniards regularly take part, hoping for a lucky result in draws like this one.
