National Lottery today, live: results, numbers, tenth winner and prizes of the draw on Thursday, August 13, 2026

The Lotería Nacional draw for Thursday, August 13, 2026, has taken place, with results now available. The draw, which occurs annually on Thursdays, featured a range of prizes, including the top prize of 30,000 euros per tenth of a ticket and 300,000 euros for the full series. The second-tier prize was 6,000 euros per tenth and 60,000 euros for the series, while additional prizes were awarded for four four-digit extractions, seven three-digit extractions, nine two-digit extractions, and two special extractions. Each of these prizes was divided into amounts payable per tenth of a ticket and per full series. The draw began at 9 p.m. local time, as is customary for all weekly draws. Participants had until 8:30 p.m. to purchase their tickets online via the state-run Loterías y Apuestas del Estado website. A single tenth of a ticket costs 3 euros for this particular draw, consistent with the standard price for Thursday lotteries. In contrast, special occasions such as the Christmas lottery see higher prices for tickets. This week’s draw marks another instance of Spain's long-standing tradition of national lottery. Established in 1763 under King Charles III, the initial lottery known as the “Lotería Real” eventually evolved into the current format. It wasn’t until 1812 that the modern draw system was introduced, transforming the lottery into its present form as the “Lotería Primitiva Nacional.” Each Thursday, the lottery offers a variety of prizes designed to reward different levels of participation. The structure ensures that both casual players and dedicated participants have opportunities to win. The top prizes are reserved for those who hold full series tickets, while smaller rewards cater to those holding individual tenths. This system encourages widespread engagement and maintains the lottery’s popularity among the public. The draw itself was covered live by several media outlets, providing real-time updates on the numbers drawn and the winners. While the exact winning numbers were not specified in the reports, the focus remained on the overall structure and the potential for large sums of money to be distributed. The process typically involves multiple rounds of drawing, ensuring transparency and fairness in the distribution of prizes. As with previous draws, the results will be published shortly after the event concludes. Winners can claim their prizes through designated channels, though the specific procedures for claiming remain unchanged. The lottery continues to serve as a cornerstone of Spanish culture, blending historical significance with contemporary entertainment and financial opportunity.
