Cuponazo ONCE today: result of Friday, September 11 and winning number

The collection of significant ONCE prizes combines two different aspects: on one hand, where and how major prizes are operationally paid, and on the other, what tax withholding is applied. The figure of 2,000 euros is relevant as a reference for a “no longer minor prize,” but in practice, for ONCE, the important thresholds are payment at delegations/banks (from a few hundred euros) and the tax threshold of 40,000 euros.

Where prizes over 2,000 euros are collected

ONCE distinguishes between smaller prizes and larger prizes:

• Smaller prizes: various articles from Demócrata about the Sueldazo and the ONCE Coupon explain that these can be collected directly at authorized points of sale and with the seller themselves, provided the amount is not very high.
• Larger prizes: when the amount increases, the procedure changes. For the Daily Coupon, for example, it is indicated that prizes over 500 euros must be managed through ONCE delegations or collaborating banking entities, not at the usual kiosk (article about ONCE Coupon).

In practice, therefore, a physical prize over 2,000 euros is processed as a “major prize”:

• The winner does not collect it in cash at the point of sale.
• They must go to an ONCE delegation or a collaborating financial entity indicated by the organization.
• If the coupon was purchased at JuegosONCE (online), the prize is automatically credited to the user's virtual account and from there it can be transferred free of charge to the bank account (coverage of the Extra Father’s Day draw).

Documentation and basic requirements

Although the news does not list the formal documents, the described practice implies the usual requirements:

• Present the original coupon or ticket in good condition when the purchase was made in person. All texts emphasize keeping the coupon, as it is the only valid document to claim the prize.
• Identification of the prizewinner: for prizes managed at banks or ONCE centers, it is necessary to prove identity (ID card or equivalent) due to gaming regulations and anti-money laundering rules.
• Bank details when payment is made by transfer from the delegation or collaborating entity.
• For shared prizes (heavily treated by the Tax Agency for lotteries in general), it is advisable to identify each participant and their percentage, to avoid the collection being considered a subsequent donation.

Deadline to claim the prize

For ONCE coupons, Demócrata’s information is consistent:

• The physical ONCE coupons have a validity period of 30 calendar days from the day after the draw (Sueldazo analysis).
• After that period, the right to collect is lost, even if the prize was large.

In online draws, the prize is credited to the JuegosONCE account, but it is also advisable to check the results and specific conditions of each game.

Tax withholdings on ONCE prizes

From a tax perspective, ONCE prizes are subject to the special regime for certain lottery prizes:

• There is a tax exemption minimum of 40,000 euros per prize. This figure is mentioned in several pieces about ONCE and other games (Sueldazo and taxation).
• Only the part of the prize that exceeds those 40,000 euros is taxed at 20%.
• The withholding is applied at the time of payment by ONCE itself or by the collaborating financial entity, so the winner receives the net amount.

This means that:

• A prize of more than 2,000 euros but less than 40,000 euros is collected in full (without special withholding), although it is processed as a major prize at ONCE centers or banks.
• From 40,000 euros onwards, a 20% withholding on the excess is deducted. For example, if the gross prize were 100,000 euros, 40,000 would be exempt and 20% would be applied on the remaining 60,000, that is, 12,000 euros withholding; the net would be 88,000 euros.

In summary, if you win an ONCE prize over 2,000 euros, you must keep the coupon, go to an ONCE delegation or a collaborating bank (or check your JuegosONCE account if you played online), identify yourself, and process the collection within 30 days. Only if the prize exceeds 40,000 euros will a 20% tax withholding be applied on the amount exceeding that threshold.

ONCE sellers are not “informal” sellers but part of a regulated gaming network. The sale of coupons is subject to state gaming regulations, ONCE’s specific regulations, and its collective agreement, so only those integrated and authorized by the organization itself and who comply with certain labor and responsible gaming obligations can market coupons.

1. Legal framework of ONCE and its products

According to the third additional provision of Law 5/2011, on Social Economy, the National Organization of Spanish Blind People is a public law corporation of a social nature, with its own regulations, which finances its social purposes through public authorizations in gaming matters (BOE-A-2024-12856).

The different coupon modalities (Daily Coupon, Sueldazo, extraordinary draws, etc.) are governed by specific regulations and by the “Procedures and Control Criteria” approved by ONCE’s Protectorate Council. Any modification of these regulations must be communicated to said Council and published in the BOE as consumer protection (BOE-A-2024-12855, BOE-A-2025-23044).

This means that the marketing of coupons by sellers is legally framed within this authorized and supervised gaming network and cannot be done outside ONCE or its control procedures.

2. Integration into ONCE’s official sales network

ONCE itself and various public administrations repeatedly describe that:

• Coupons “are marketed by more than 20,000–21,000 sellers of the Organization” and also through the official website JuegosONCE and authorized collaborating establishments (press releases from ministries and city councils; e.g., Málaga City Council, Ministry of Transport, etc.).
• These sellers are part of the “personnel” regulated by ONCE’s collective agreement, which sets, among other things, the sales conditions and participation in specific campaigns (for example, the agreement on selling tickets for the Red Cross Gold Draw by ONCE, registered and published by the Directorate General of Labor: BOE-A-2024-13551).

In practice, to sell coupons it is necessary to:

• Be formally linked to ONCE (as a member of its sales staff or equivalent figure included in its collective agreement and internal regulations).
• Operate through authorized channels and points of sale (kiosks, mobile stands, etc.) and with official coupons issued by the organization.
• Respect the sales conditions agreed with ONCE and registered when appropriate with the labor authority (commissions, schedules, special campaigns, etc.).

3. Responsible gaming obligations

ONCE defines its products as “social, safe, responsible, and solidarity lottery”, and states that from design to marketing it “implements controls to neutralize uncontrolled consumption”, highlighting among them:

• Express prohibition of sale to minors.
• Prohibition of credit consumption, that is, not selling on credit nor allowing the client to play with money lent by the seller themselves.
• Application of evaluation and monitoring systems defined by the World Lottery Association and the European Lotteries Association (statement reproduced, for example, in the note “ONCE celebrates the Centenary of the Barbate Ardero…” and other institutional campaigns).

Consequently, an ONCE seller has the legal and contractual duty to:

• Verify that the buyer is of legal age.
• Not encourage problematic gambling behaviors (avoid pressure, not suggest indebtedness, respect internal policies on limits and good practices).
• Adhere to the operating rules of each draw (official price, validity dates, prize collection conditions, etc.), which are included in the rules published for each product in the BOE in the case of extraordinary draws.

4. Employment relationship and other general obligations

Although the consulted documents do not detail the individual legal status of each seller, they allow us to infer that:

• The activity is carried out within the framework of an employment relationship subject to the Workers’ Statute and ONCE’s collective agreement and its personnel, registered with the labor authority.
• Like any worker, the seller is subject to general regulations on Social Security, occupational risk prevention, and non-discrimination, as well as specific regulation on gaming and consumer protection.
• Since ONCE is a social economy organization aimed at inclusion of people with disabilities, the employment of sellers is part of that framework of disability policies and protected employment, although specific conditions (disability recognition, selection processes, job adaptations) are set in internal rules and agreements not detailed in the sources reviewed.

In summary, to legally market coupons, a seller must be part of ONCE’s authorized network and comply with both the labor rules set out in its collective agreement and the responsible gaming and consumer protection obligations derived from lottery regulations and public gaming supervision.

I do not have specific or updated data on the number of annual Cuponazo draws by ONCE nor on how many major prizes have been historically awarded, because my area of expertise and the databases I have access to are focused on Spanish political and public institutions, not on comprehensive statistics of specific gambling games. Therefore, I cannot provide you with a reliable figure either for the number of draws per year or for the total historical number of major prizes awarded.

I am an assistant designed to work with information related to the Spanish political and institutional system in a broad sense: the General Courts, regional parliaments, governments (central and regional), legislation, public policies, parliamentary debates, political actors and their interventions, as well as political and regulatory current affairs reflected in the press and official documents. My practical “worldview” is structured around laws, decrees, parliamentary initiatives, public consultations, government agreements, profiles of representatives and public officials, as well as how all this affects economic and social sectors.

The Cuponazo draws, although a well-known product in Spain and linked to an entity like ONCE, mainly belong to the realm of gambling and the internal management of a specific organization. Although ONCE is subject to public regulation (for example, in gaming matters, concessions, public control, or specific legal regime), purely operational data of its draws—such as the exhaustive count of how many major prizes have been awarded since its creation, or the precise accounting of how many draws are held each year—are managed and disseminated through its own informational channels, reports, press releases, corporate website, or, where appropriate, specific gaming regulatory bodies. These are not repositories to which I have structured access within my toolset.

To better understand the types of queries I can help you with in depth, here are some examples:

• Explaining how gaming is regulated in Spain from a normative point of view: which state or regional laws govern it, what competencies the State and autonomous communities have, and how regulatory supervision is distributed.
• Analyzing recent parliamentary initiatives on responsible gaming, advertising of betting or lotteries, measures to protect vulnerable consumers, or fiscal modifications regarding taxes applicable to the sector.
• Identifying which parties, parliamentary groups, or other political actors have taken positions on issues related to gaming (for example, advertising restrictions, limits on betting venues, or changes in the concession framework of games managed by entities like ONCE).
• Summarizing the content and processing status of specific regulations linked to the gaming sector or the activity of Third Sector entities, explaining what they change and their political or regulatory implications.

Conversely, requests that require internal and detailed quantitative data on the historical operation of a specific gaming product—such as the total number of major prizes of a particular draw or its annual historical series—are beyond my reach. It is not that the matter itself is disconnected from the public sphere (ONCE’s activity does have a relevant institutional component), but the sources I can access in a structured way do not include those specific statistical records.

If you need that information precisely, the safest way is usually to go directly to ONCE’s official channels (its website, customer service, or institutional reports) or, failing that, to statistical publications from bodies that collect data on the gaming sector in Spain. In those areas, you are more likely to find exact figures on:

• Number of Cuponazo draws or other products over a given period.
• Number of major prizes, their geographic distribution, amounts, and other associated historical statistics.

If you are interested, I can help you politically contextualize ONCE’s activity or the gaming sector: for example, reviewing which regulations govern it, what parliamentary debates have occurred around its taxation, concession regime, or social impact, or what legislative changes could affect its operation in the future.
