At 10:24 the first jackpot of the draw has arrived.

Around 12:30 they have sung 79,138, the sixth fifth prize. To the surprise of the attendees, when the girls from San Ildefonso continue taking the balls out of the bass drum, the next number they have sung has also been awarded another fifth prize, the seventh, 36,142.
The 79,138 has fallen entirely in Madrid, while the 36,142 has been more distributed throughout the peninsula, specifically it has fallen in Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Sort (Lleida), Madrid, Santiago de la Ribera (Murcia), Andorra, Gandía ( Valencia), San Pedro del Pinatar (Murcia) and Manises (Valencia).

Counting on these fifth prizes, 2,520 million euros in prizes are distributed throughout the draw, including the Gordo of 4,000,000 euros for the series, that is, 400,000 euros for the tenth; the second prize, of 1,250,000 euros for the series and 125,000 for the tenth, and the third, of 500,000 euros for the series and 50,000 for the tenth.
In addition, fourth prizes come out, of 200,000 euros for the series, 20,000 for the tenth. Another 1,794 prizes of 1,000 euros are also distributed for the series, 100 euros for the tenth.
The minimum exemption from taxes has been raised this year to 20,000 euros, so both the fifth prizes and the one known as ‘pedrea’ will be exempt from payment to the Treasury.
The lucky ones who have a prize-winning tenth have until March 22 to collect their prize.
