Copia de Copia de Copia de Copia de Copia de Copia de Euromillions June 9, 2026: draw result, winning numbers and winning combination

The transparency and legality of Euromillions are guaranteed through a dual level of control: on one hand, common European rules managed by the technical company Service Aux Loteries en Europe (S.L.E.), with procedures such as the Rapid Audit protocol; on the other hand, the supervision and regulation exercised by each national operator and its gaming authority. The draws are conducted with mechanical drums and physically verified balls, in front of a presidium table with officials and, depending on the country, notaries or other certifiers. Additionally, the computer systems for validating bets and paying prizes undergo periodic certifications and technical audits.

1. Common European framework of Euromillions

The basic game rules (how to participate, how bets are validated and canceled, how prize categories are distributed) are included in common rules coordinated by S.L.E., which centralizes the file of valid bets before each draw through the Rapid Audit protocol, described in the Spanish regulations published in the BOE and in the Euromillions Rules. Each national operator generates a file with all sold combinations, which is cross-checked with S.L.E.'s to ensure that no valid bet is excluded from the draw.

2. Technical controls of randomness and security

The main Euromillions draw is conducted with mechanical drums and not with digital random number generators. Before starting, the presidium authorizes checking that the balls are complete and homogeneous in weight and size, according to the technical procedures included in the Spanish regulations and in rapid audit standards mentioned in the BOE ([link]). The unique bets file is validated against S.L.E.'s central database and sealed to prevent later modifications.

The computer systems for validating bets via terminal or internet are subject to prior certification by the gaming authority; in Spain, the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling, according to the normative reference accessible on the Ministry of Finance website ([link]), requires independent certification reports before authorizing their use.

3. Public supervision of the draw

The draws are held publicly and broadcast live (television or streaming), similarly to other Spanish draws whose transparency is explained in informative pieces such as Antena 3's on the Christmas Lottery (article on transparency). The presidium includes officials from the organizing lottery and representatives of the administration; they certify the result and sign the records.

In Spain, Euromillions is integrated into the catalog of the State Society Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE). The newspaper Demócrata recalls that SELAE is the state operator designated by Law 13/2011 for Euromillions and other games (article on SELAE).

4. Operators and national regulation in each country

According to the Euromillions information sheets published recurrently by the newspaper Demócrata (draw July 14, 2026, June 23, June 19, June 16, June 12, June 9), the national operators are:

• Spain: SELAE, under state supervision and with additional controls on prize management audited by the Court of Auditors (resolution on SELAE auditing).
• France: La Française des Jeux, whose exclusive license has been validated by the European Commission as compatible State aid (note on FDJ).
• United Kingdom and Ireland: The National Lottery, supervised by their respective gaming commissions.
• Portugal: Jogos Santa Casa.
• Belgium and Luxembourg: Loterie Nationale.
• Austria: Österreichische Lotterien.
• Switzerland: Swisslos and Loterie Romande.

Each applies its own gaming, anti-money laundering, and consumer protection regulations, but within the common Euromillions rules framework.

5. Validation, payment, and legal controls of prizes

The specific rules for claiming and expiration of prizes are included in official portals and guides such as Euromillions Rules and SELAE's prize information (SELAE help center). In Spain, prizes over €40,000 are subject to a 20% withholding on the excess and must be claimed through authorized financial entities.

Additionally, lottery tickets are considered securities subject to strong criminal protection, as noted in the reference entry on the National Lottery in Wikipedia (National Lottery). SELAE's prize payment control system has been specifically audited by the Court of Auditors (audit report), which includes recommendations to strengthen anti-money laundering prevention.

6. Limits and absence of a single European regulator

There is no single Euromillions regulator at the EU level: S.L.E. acts as a technical coordinator, but the physical execution of the draw, final verification of results, and prize payment depend on the operator and authority of each country. This explains why, although there is a common set of rules, aspects such as tax treatment, claim deadlines, or complaint channels differ by territory. No further information is available in the consulted sources about specific external audits (for example, which firm certifies the drums), beyond the existence of the Rapid Audit protocol and the technical certifications required in Spain.

A foreign citizen can participate in Euromillions in Spain and claim their prizes as long as they meet the same basic requirements as a Spanish citizen: be of legal age, not be registered in the gambling exclusion registry, and be able to properly identify themselves when playing and, especially, when claiming. Spanish regulations do not require residency in Spain to participate, but identification and anti-money laundering rules, as well as specific taxation on lottery prizes, apply to both residents and non-residents. All this is mainly articulated through the Law 13/2011 on gambling regulation and its associated development and tax regulations.

Basic applicable legal framework

Participation in games like Euromillions, which are state-wide and operated by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, is framed within:

• General gambling regulation: Law 13/2011, on gambling regulation, amended by Law 23/2022. This law sets principles for participant protection, minors, and fraud prevention.
• Technical requirements and online identification: Royal Decree 1613/2011 (technical requirements for gambling activities) and Royal Decree 1614/2011 (licenses, authorizations, and registries).
• Safer gaming environments and protection of vulnerable groups: Royal Decree 176/2023, which develops responsible gaming policies linked to Law 13/2011.
• Taxation of prizes and non-residents: tax rules such as Law 2/2010 (which modifies the Non-Resident Income Tax) and orders regulating the special tax on lottery prizes (for example, Order HAP/70/2013, Order HAP/2368/2013 and its update through Order HFP/1286/2023).

Requirements to participate (in-person and online purchase)

Law 13/2011 establishes that participation in gambling is subject to several subjective prohibitions and controls:

• Legal age: only persons over 18 years old may participate. This applies to both foreigners and Spaniards.
• Not listed in the General Registry of Gambling Access Prohibitions (RGIAJ): Law 13/2011 and its regulatory development (for example, chapter VII of Royal Decree 1613/2011) establish participant identification and control of excluded persons.
• Identification:
  • In regular in-person Euromillions purchases, documentation is not required except for atypical operations (very high amounts, significant cash payments) for anti-money laundering reasons.
  • In online participation (gaming account), operators must verify identity and age with official documents; this also applies to foreigners, following the identification technical requirements of Royal Decree 1613/2011.
• Residency in Spain is not required: state-level gambling regulations allow non-residents to participate; what matters is proper identification and compliance with prohibitions (minors, self-excluded, persons linked to operators, etc.).

Requirements to claim a prize as a foreigner

When claiming a Euromillions prize in Spain, the fundamental legal requirements are:

• Prove identity: gaming and anti-money laundering rules require identifying the winner when the prize is high. In practice, a valid official document (passport, foreign national identity document, etc.) is required and, if applicable, data on tax residency (related to rules such as Royal Decree 1021/2015, which requires identifying tax residency in certain financial operations, and Law 2/2010 on non-residents).
• Claim at authorized points: the licensing and registry regime of Royal Decree 1614/2011 implies that prize payments are made through authorized lottery administrations or, for very high prizes, through authorized financial entities and Loterías y Apuestas del Estado itself.
• Comply with responsible gaming and anti-fraud controls: Royal Decree 176/2023 strengthens operators' duty to monitor risky behaviors and unusual operations. For very high prizes, justifying the origin of funds may be required if money laundering is suspected.

Taxation for foreigners claiming prizes

Euromillions prizes obtained in Spain are subject to the special tax on prizes from certain lotteries and bets, which is implemented through:

• Withholding at source: Orders HAP/70/2013 (forms 230 and 136) and HAP/2368/2013 (form 270), updated by Order HFP/1286/2023, regulate the declaration of special tax withholdings. The operator applies the withholding automatically, so the winner—resident or non-resident—receives the net amount.
• Non-residents: Law 2/2010 adapts the Non-Resident Income Tax to EU regulations. Prizes claimed in Spain by non-residents are treated as income obtained in Spanish territory, subject to the special tax withholding. Generally, the taxpayer does not need to take additional steps if the withholding has been correctly applied, unless the regulations of their country of residence require declaring the prize or allow requesting a partial refund under a double taxation avoidance agreement (this depends on the specific agreement, not covered in the cited regulations).

In summary, a foreigner can play and claim Euromillions in Spain without needing to be a resident, but must be of legal age, be able to personally identify themselves when claiming, accept the application of Spanish tax withholding on the prize, and comply with the responsible gaming and anti-money laundering controls provided in Law 13/2011 and its development regulations.

The information you request—the number of prizes over 40,000 euros awarded in Spain in the last five years through Euromillions—falls within the scope of gambling statistics and commercial data of lottery operators. It is not part of political, regulatory, or institutional activity, nor of the political-social current affairs coverage that is the focus of this assistant. For that reason, I do not have specific or updated data on that volume of prizes and cannot provide you with a reliable figure.

Euromillions is a game managed, in Spain's case, by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, but quantitative details about the exact number of prizes by amount bracket (for example, over 40,000 euros) in a five-year period correspond to internal statistics, annual reports, or specialized databases of the commercial entity or gambling regulatory bodies. Those records are not parliamentary, normative, or strictly political material, and fall outside the type of information this assistant is designed to provide.

My specialization focuses on content related to:

• Spanish politics: functioning of the Government, the General Courts (Congress and Senate), and, to a lesser extent, regional parliaments.
• Parliamentary and executive activity: bills and legislative proposals, royal decree-laws, appearances, debates, votes, parliamentary questions, and Council of Ministers agreements.
• Political-social current affairs: major public debates in Spain (legal reforms, economic and social policies, territorial conflicts, equality policies, housing, health, education, ecological transition, etc.).
• Political and interest actors: parties, parliamentary groups, political leaders, social and business organizations when their actions have public or regulatory relevance.
• Regulatory framework: explanation of rules, legal reforms, distribution of competences between State and autonomous communities, as well as legislative and regulatory processes.

Within that framework, I could help you, for example, with issues related to the gambling sector from a regulatory or political perspective, such as:

• How gambling and betting advertising is regulated in Spain (for example, the state regulations promoted in recent years to restrict advertising in certain time slots or media).
• What competences the State and autonomous communities have regarding casinos, online betting, bingo halls, and lotteries.
• What political debates have occurred about gambling addiction, protection of minors, or gambling taxation.
• What role gambling sector companies play as interest groups and how they participate in public consultations or legislative processes.

If what interests you is closer to those issues—for example, understanding what Spanish legislation says about lottery prizes, their taxation, or thresholds from which a certain withholding applies—I can explain the general regulatory framework, the role of the competent Ministry or the General Courts in approving or reforming those rules.

However, if your need is to know concrete figures such as the exact number of Euromillions prizes over 40,000 euros in Spain in the last five years, the most appropriate would be to consult:

• Statistics or annual reports of Loterías y Apuestas del Estado.
• Official reports or databases of the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling of the competent Ministry.
• Specialized publications in the gambling sector that work with aggregated data on prizes and draws.

In summary, I cannot provide you with the number of prizes you ask for because it is purely statistical and commercial data, unrelated to the political and regulatory activity covered by this assistant. However, I can help you if you want to understand how gambling is regulated in Spain, what decisions have been made in recent years in the parliamentary or governmental sphere about this sector, or what political debates have taken place around lotteries, betting, and consumer protection.
