Peña rules

Christmas 2026 · version 6 of the rules

These are the rules accepted when each ticket is registered. Here you can only read them: accepting goes with each ticket, from inside, and is recorded with the date and the exact text that was read.

My share is my tickets divided by the penya's total, and it applies to every ticket, whoever keeps it.

Example: if the penya has 11 tickets and I put in 1, I own 1/11 of each of the 11; if the Gordo hits any of them, I collect 1/11 of the prize (€400,000 → €36,364 gross). The share is recalculated with every addition or withdrawal until closing and is frozen at that moment.

I keep this ticket. If any ticket in the penya wins €2,000 or more, I will go to the bank with my ID together with the other members, or grant a notarial power of attorney, and the bank will pay each of us our share.

Prizes under €2,000 per ticket are collected at any lottery outlet: whoever keeps the ticket collects it and transfers each member their net amount within 7 days at most. From €2,000 up, they are collected at a partner bank: whoever keeps the ticket presents it once together with the participants document (each member's name, ID number and share); all members go to the same branch, where the bank identifies each of us with our original ID, or we grant a notarial power of attorney to someone to go on our behalf; and the bank withholds tax from each one and pays each member their share into their own account. I am responsible for safekeeping: if the ticket is lost, stolen or destroyed before the draw, I report it and it leaves the penya.

I can withdraw this ticket, several or all of mine until closing (21 Dec 2026 22:00). After closing nothing can be changed.

When a ticket is withdrawn it leaves the penya and everyone's shares are recalculated. After closing no additions, removals, withdrawals or changes of any kind are accepted, and no decision is taken after the draw. If I have not withdrawn before closing, I am in with all my registered tickets.

This ticket is real, it is mine and it is a paper ticket, with the number, series and fraction I entered.

A non-existent ticket would earn a share without contributing anything. Only paper tickets are accepted: one bought online cannot be shared, because if it wins €2,000 or more the site it was bought from pays all of it to its holder. The administrator may ask to see the ticket or a new photo before closing. A ticket that cannot be verified is left out of the penya before the draw, and the decision is recorded.

I authorise the use of my name, ID number and IBAN in the participants document, and I accept that 20 % is applied to my part above my exempt portion.

ID number and IBAN are stored encrypted, only the administrator and the holder of the winning ticket see them for the bank document, and they are kept until I ask for their deletion. Tax: €40,000 exempt per ticket, prorated by share; the rest is taxed at 20 %, withheld by the bank on payment.
