Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for International Players
Can non-residents or foreign tourists legally collect prizes in Spain?
Yes, absolutely. Under Spanish legislation, lottery prizes are paid out to the legitimate bearer of the validated ticket, regardless of their nationality or place of legal residence.
How does tax withholding work on Spanish lottery winnings?
Under regulations from the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ), all prizes up to €40,000 are 100% tax-free. Any amount exceeding €40,000 is subject to a flat 20% state tax, which is withheld automatically when the prize is collected.
What is the cut-off time to validate tickets online on draw days?
You can place orders on our platform up to approximately 20:00 - 20:30 CET on draw days. This gives our staff sufficient time to print and validate your ticket directly through the official state mainframe before system closing.
