The weekly Lotería Nacional draw in Spain on Saturday, October 17, 2026, features a first prize of 600,000 euros per series—amounting to 60,000 euros per tenth—organized by Sociedad Estatal Loterías y Apuestas del Estado to support social action, EL PAÍS reported.
Saturday Draw Supports Cáritas with 600,000 Euro Prizes
This weekend’s tenth is dedicated to Cáritas, the social action association of the Catholic church that assists individuals facing poverty and need. Conducted in the Salón de Sorteos de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, the Saturday fixture carries a long history dating back to the nineteenth century. Participants secure fractional shares known as décimos, with payout amounts strictly dependent on matching the official numbers drawn.
The prize schedule for the Saturday event establishes clear financial tiers across primary and secondary categories. The main awards offer 600,000 euros per series for the first prize and 120,000 euros per series for the second prize, yielding 60,000 euros and 12,000 euros per décimo respectively. Secondary allocations cover numbers immediately preceding and following the top two prizes, alongside specific four-digit, three-digit, and two-digit extractions, plus two reintegro categories returning 60 euros per series.
