State lottery and betting draws can change your life and make you a millionaire overnight. That’s what happened this Thursday with Primitiva, where one lucky winner won more than 87 million euros, and with Bonoloto, where another winner won 3 million euros.
In the EuroMillions draw this Friday, August 23, two third-category winners from Spain each won €26,006.73. Their tickets were bought in Valencia and Tarragona.
There are no first category (5+2) winning tickets in today’s EuroMillions draw. Thanks to the EUROJOT generated in the next EuroMillions draw, one first category (5+2) winner could win €104 million. The winning El Millón ticket was validated at the Lottery Office No. 1 of La Cenià (a municipality of 5,000 inhabitants in Tarragona), located at Passeig de la Clotada, 9.
Here are the winning numbers for the draw:
09 15 24 47 50
Stars: 8 and 9
Million: FVK24890
Here’s how the winners’ lives changed
The Valencian from Bonrepos won 80 million and joined the Ferrari club.
Javier Espinosa has been betting on the same numbers at Primitiva for almost his entire life (a tradition started by his parents) until luck knocked on his door in 2019 and he took €80 million from Primitiva. The winning combination consisted of the numbers 7, 13, 23, 40, 41 and 49, an additional number of 16 and the key number (return) of 3. These 8 numbers changed the history of the Bonrepos resident who sealed his ticket to Tarvern Blanques, near Valencia.
Javier had a family business selling plumbing supplies for over 25 years, which had been in serious trouble for many years. When Javier called his girlfriend to tell her the news, she, incredulously, told him to go to the Oscars for his good performance before hanging up.
Javier ordered a Ferrari, his childhood dream, and soon after built a house in Bonrepos. His neighbors say he already owns half a dozen cars and that he entered the exclusive “Ferrari Club” on his own, thanks to money from Primitiva.
They always played the same numbers and lost the only day they didn’t place a bet.
The story of Rachel Kennedy and Liam McCrohan is one of unlucky luck. The English couple came very close to winning €182 million. The young students always entered the EuroMillions draw and, what’s more, always bet on the same numbers. They never failed on a single day, and what’s more, they had a platform in place that allowed them to automatically buy tickets every week.
However, one Friday they did not do so because their bank account ran out of funds. “We didn’t think they were going to come clean,” they told British media outlet The Sun.
They were wrong. When they checked the app, they received a notification with the numbers they always played, which were set. And they saw that they had won the biggest prize. So they lost the chance to win 182 million euros, which was the exact amount of the jackpot.
He wins over 5 million euros and finds out about it in a bar
Rufino became the most famous resident of Valuengo, a small town in Jerez, after winning the Gordo de la Primitiva. He spent 5 million four hundred thousand euros on it. The most curious thing is how he found out he had become a millionaire: in a bar and by chance. Rufino was drinking coffee in an ordinary bar. The conversation among the customers was that someone from the town had won the Primitiva jackpot. A local waiter offered to check Rufino’s ticket: “The one from Gordo is you.” And hence the general distrust. No one in the bar believed it, not even the winner himself. At the company where he worked, Rufino had an accident that cost him three fingers on one hand and disability.
Winner wants to sue lottery for ruining her life
Jane Park won EuroMillions when she was 17. Now, four years later, he has admitted that what he thought would improve his life has done the exact opposite. In fact, he wants to sue the lottery for “ruining” his life.
The young woman was lucky because she won the prize with the first ticket she bought. The figure she got it with was exactly 1,175,000 euros. According to him in an interview with the newspaper “Zerkalo”, the prize drove him crazy and he spent the money on designer clothes, cars and cosmetic surgery.
He now admits that he would prefer not to win the EuroMillions because his life would be “simpler”. Despite having a lot of money, he admits, his life is “empty” and he finds it very difficult to find a partner who is not only interested in his money.
Bonoloto combination, almost repeating itself after 48 hours.

They prevent the couple from winning the ONCE prize of 400,000 euros.
Daniela went from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds. She says that, like every year, her mother gave her and her siblings an ONCE ticket for the January 1st draw. He bought it on Avenida del Oeste, the closest stall to the Central Market. A family tradition. They never lost hope that one day they would get lucky. And then, finally, the winning ticket with the number 8290 was in his hands. The woman received 400,000 euros. But soon, what had been the luck of his life turned into a nightmare.
“I asked my husband to go to the ONCE Territorial Delegation to find out how he could pick it up, because I couldn’t be away from work. They didn’t explain the process well and gave him three pages, one on top of the other, and he didn’t realize he was signing that the ticket belonged to him,” says Daniela Tuccelli through tears.
A few months ago, her husband registered with the General Registry of Gambling Access Prohibitions (RIAJ). This means that you cannot access online games and reserved games (lotteries) that are held in person. Therefore, you will not be able to receive a winning coupon either. “My husband is not a gambler. He signed up after our conversation because he always watches football and sometimes bets. A small thing. About 20 euros. But I told her to sign up because I was tired and wanted my house to be able to watch something else on TV,” says the heartbroken woman. She is afraid of the consequences that could arise for her husband on a personal level for his “stupid” act. “The result of the fight.”
But now, because of this hasty decision, he cannot receive the 400,000 euros that correspond to him.
Ruth, the millionaire who never stops working
Ruth Breen, 39, won the EuroMillions prize when she was going through tough financial times. The British midwife, who has a young daughter, saw her fortune when she won the lottery.
But she made it clear that she didn’t want to change the course of her life. She kept working and used the money to send her daughter to a good school, help her brother buy a house, and pay for her parents’ insurance.
