How the Lotería Nacional Saint Valentine draw works
The Lotería Nacional Saint Valentine Special works with a system of five different drums. There is a drum (with 10 balls, from 0 to 9) for each of the five numbers in the tenth and another drum with the amount of the prizes. After each round, the numbers are replaced. The draw begins with the lowest prizes, five two-digit withdrawals, 14 three-digit withdrawals and two four-digit withdrawals, before then drawing the main prizes in order of third, second and the first prize, which is known as El Gordo (The Fat One).
Patrons could buy tickets for this lottery until 7 p.m., 2 hours before the draw takes place. Although it is often advised to buy tickets fast as certain numbers are snapped up pretty fast.
Although this lottery does not distribute as many prizes or as large as El Gordo de Navidad, in the Saint Valentine Special you have more chances to win because the prizes are distributed more compared to the larger jackpot lottery. Last Christmas, €2,408 million euros was dispensed in prizes and on 14th February €105 million came out of the draw and went to 3,485,100 tickets.
It is less money, but be careful with the math: while in the Extraordinary Christmas Lottery Draw, 15% of the ticket holders are awarded, but in the Saint Valentine Special draw, one in 10 tickets are winners.
