The National Lottery draw on Thursday, February 19, 2026, is set to distribute a first prize of €30,000 for each tenth ticket. This lottery is a deeply ingrained tradition in Spain, having been established in 1811 to support fundraising during the Peninsular War against France. The draw occurs twice weekly on Thursdays and Saturdays, making it a popular event for many Spaniards.

For this particular draw, the ticket corresponds to a dedicated homage in honor of the 145th anniversary of Diario Palentino, paying tribute to its readers and contributors in Palencia. This highlights the lottery's intertwining with regional culture and support for local media. The National Lottery not only celebrates its historical roots but also adapts to modern times by linking itself with contemporary events and milestones within Spanish society.

Today's draw is part of the SELAE organization, which oversees the lottery operations and distribution of various prizes, including a main prize of €300,000 per series, along with multiple smaller prizes. This endeavor not only continues the tradition of lottery games in Spain but also provides financial assistance to various public services through its proceeds, thus holding significant social responsibility in addition to its entertainment value.
