The first prize of the 2025 Christmas Lottery, number 79.432, has distributed millions in León towns like La Bañeza and in Marbella, thanks to a bar run by a León emigrant. This draw, held on December 22 at Madrid's Teatro Real, distributed 2.772 million euros in total. Winners like a taxi driver and a mechanic on the Costa del Sol celebrate life changes.
In the Leonese village of Villamanín, residents have reached an agreement to cover a four-million-euro shortfall in distributing the Christmas Lottery's top prize, due to selling more shares than available tickets. The fiesta commission will cover over two million euros, while winners will cede a smaller percentage of their winnings. The deal aims to preserve community peace, though it has sparked divisions and tensions.
