When a person wins one of the main prizes, it is most common to collect it the same day. However, the same is not the case when it comes to minor prizes such as, for example, the refund that is usually left for days and even weeks to come. Regardless of the amount, any winning number can be cashed from 6 p.m. on the same December 22 to March 22, 2022, that is, there is three months deadline to do so.

Where can you collect the Christmas Lottery
Within that period of time, depending on the amount won, you will have to go to one place or another:
–When the prize is less than 2,000 euros, can be collected at any lottery administration by presenting the tenth. As novelties, this year you will also be able to charge through Bizum and in compatible banks. To do this, a QR code will be generated that the winners can scan and start the collection process.
–When the prize is greater than 2,000 euros, you have to go to financial entities arranged by the State Lottery and Gambling Society of the State (Selae).
Payment is made instantly and the usual thing is to issue a nominative check or make a transfer to the prize winner’s bank. In order to make the payment, from Selae it is recalled that financial institutions are obliged to collect the documentation and information necessary to comply with the legal identification obligations (regulations on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, tax regulations or regulations of any kind that may be applicable). It is important to remember that no bank can force you to open an account to have the prize and cannot charge any expense or surcharge or commission.

The procedure for collecting shares is different from that of tenths and also more complex. When the prize exceeds 2,000 euros there are two possible formulas. The first is that all the holders present themselves at the bank for identification and the second, that a representative is appointed to carry out all the previous procedures as long as he is empowered to do so by means of a public document before a notary public.
