The Christmas Lottery is one of the most anticipated events of the year in Spain. However, there are numbers that are practically impossible to achieve, becoming a true utopia for players. Here we explain what these numbers are and why they are so difficult to find.
The Hardest Numbers to Find in the Christmas Lottery
Every year, some Christmas lottery numbers become very popular due to important events or important dates. In 2023, the numbers related to the municipal and regional elections (28523 and 23723) and the Spanish women’s national team’s victory in the World Cup were quickly exhausted.
In 2024, the number 14724, which coincides with the date of Spain’s victory in the European Championship, is one of the most searched numbers.
Effect of special dates
Another factor that makes it difficult to buy specific numbers is special dates. Many players look for numbers that coincide with birthdays, anniversaries, or historical events.

This makes certain year endings, such as 24, highly sought after. Additionally, some numbers, such as 06174, are sought after for superstitious reasons or for their association with mathematical principles such as Kaprekar’s constant.
Numbers and myths
Superstitions also play an important role. Some numbers are considered lucky, while others are avoided. Endings in 13, 15, 17, and 69 are particularly sought after because of their cultural and superstitious connotations.
Although the number 13 is considered an unlucky number in many places, there are those who seek out this number specifically. All in the hope that bad luck will turn into good luck in the draw.
Online Sales and Restrictions
Although the Internet has made it easier to purchase tithes, not all numbers are available online. Some popular numbers are reserved for physical sale in some departments, making the process of obtaining them more complicated.
This is especially true for current year ending numbers and other numbers that have historically high demand. Some departments receive more popular numbers due to local demand or specific agreements, which means that some tithes can only be purchased at specific locations.
This creates a disparity in availability and makes it necessary to travel or resort to contacts in other cities to get those desired numbers.
