Listen to the story

The Spanish lottery organization ONCE carried out its scheduled Friday draw on August 14, 2026, publishing results for several of its regular games.

Among these was the Cuponazo, ONCE's flagship Friday lottery, which typically offers larger prizes than the organization's daily draws. The Super ONCE, a numbers-based game, was also included in that day's results.

In addition, two smaller games were drawn: the Triplex, based on a three-digit combination, and Mi Día, a daily lottery with its own prize categories.

ONCE, whose full name refers to the Spanish National Organization of the Blind, is one of the country's most recognized lottery operators. Revenue generated through ticket sales helps fund social programs for blind and disabled people across Spain.

The organization holds multiple draws throughout the week, but its Friday Cuponazo draw is among its most anticipated because of the size of its top prizes compared with other regular games.

Winning numbers for all four games were made available shortly after the draw, allowing ticket holders to verify their results through ONCE's official channels, including its website and various media outlets that report lottery results.

Lottery participation remains widespread in Spain, with millions of citizens regularly buying tickets for both national and regional draws, and ONCE's games continue to attract a large following alongside other well-known Spanish lotteries.

As with previous draws, players were encouraged to check their tickets promptly, since certain prize categories may require claims within a specific time frame after the results are announced.
