It seems like there might be an abundance of four-leaf clovers or rabbits’ feet along Costa Blanca South. The lucky lottery draw of Thursday, June 26 produced at least two winners in Elche and Santa Pola, each taking home €6,000!
The winning ticket number was 62,412, and two separate tickets, called décimos in the Spanish National Lottery, produced this number. The lucky winners in Elche, Alicante and Santa Pola each got to take home the second most valuable prize! In Elche, the winning ticket was sold at a lottery shop called San Pascual. In Santa Pola, the other lucky ticket was sold at a lottery shop in the Gran Alacant Shopping Centre. Gran Alacant may just be the place to get your tickets this summer, since the very same store also sold another winning ticket back in May, also for the second prize, which awarded €7,500 to 65 décimos each. Nothing to sneeze at!
In Spain, the Thursday National Lottery tickets are sold for €3 each on average, and the first prize is usually €30,000. The Saturday National Lottery tickets are a bit more varied, ranging between €6, €12, €15, or €20, and can produce a prize ranging from €60,000 to €120,000 for whoever is lucky enough to snag the winning ticket.
Needless to say, it seems like people are striking gold in Spain this summer!
