The winning numbers for the Lotería Nacional for Saturday, 3 October 2026, will be published from 13:30, according to the state lottery operator Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) from 13:30. The official SELAE lists, made available after the draw has concluded, are authoritative. The scheduled top prize in the Saturday draw is 600,000 euros per series.
As usual, the draw will take place at the Salón de Sorteos It is a regular Saturday draw, not a special draw. A décimo for Saturday costs the usual 6 euros. Different price bands apply to Thursday draws and to special and extraordinary draws; SELAE regularly lists these dates and conditions in its notices and calendars.
For checking prizes, only the official lists published by SELAE are authoritative. Information from the media or third-party providers is for advance information only and must be checked against the official records. Prizes are paid on the basis of these lists at authorised sales outlets and through the lottery operator’s digital channels. Deadlines for claiming prizes are governed by the applicable SELAE regulations.
Once today’s results have been published, the usual process follows: sales outlets and payment offices check presented décimos against the official number and series lists and initiate payments in accordance with the formal requirements. Participants are advised to compare ticket numbers carefully with the published data and, if in doubt, contact recognised sales outlets or SELAE customer services.
Background: the Lotería Nacional is one of Spain’s longest-established state lotteries and is organised by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. The regular Thursday and Saturday draws form its backbone; these are supplemented at longer intervals by special draws with increased prize money or specific conditions. SELAE publishes information on upcoming dates, prize tiers and any changes centrally and keeps it updated.
Today’s news is therefore clear: from 13:30, SELAE will make the official winning lists for the Saturday draw on 3 October 2026 available. Only this announcement is decisive for prize payments and legal claims.
