How the Official Christmas Prize List is made
Thus, during the Christmas Lottery Draw, as the prizes are awarded, there are fifty people workingor to create the official list of winning numbers published by LoterÃas y Apuestas del Estado during December 22 in a PDF document.
This process seeks to avoid possible errors and verify that each of the winning numbers match those sung by the children of the San Ildefonso school during the draw. For this reason, different verifications are carried out during and after the end of the Christmas Lottery. Once the last of the checks is completed at the Teatro Real, it is at the National Mint and Stamp Factory where the last review is carried out and the Official List of Christmas Lottery Prizes 2024.
