Of course, the rest of the prizes also have a good booty associated with them. The second distributes around a third, 125,000 euros. The third, 50,000 euros. And the two rooms, 20,000 euros each.

How much does Treasury take from the prize?
After enjoying the joy and euphoria for being awarded in the most special draw of the year, there is a question that assails all the lucky ones on this December 22: how much does the Treasury take? It is, obviously, another winner of the Christmas Lottery. The one that repeats every year, in fact.
The money that goes to the Treasury has been maintained compared to last year, and depends on the amount of the prize. In fact, if the loot that the tenth player has does not exceed 40,000 euros, the prize is exempt from taxes, which has been the case since 2018. That is, if you have won less than that amount, you get the money in full. Therefore, only the Gordo, the second and the third prize must pay taxes, since the rest of the prizes award less than 40,000 euros to the tenth. The fourth, the next largest, distributes 20,000 euros for each ticket.
The winners of the three great prizes of the 2022 Christmas Lottery are obliged to transfer part of the money to the Tax Agency, but the 20% tax is calculated by subtracting the total of 40,000 exempt euros. Therefore, the holders of 05490 will keep 328,000 euros: the prize is 400,000 euros and the 20% tax is extracted on the remaining 360,000. Treasury takes 72,000 euros.
As for the second, which this year went to 04074 and to which a loot of 125,000 euros per ticket corresponds, the tax is calculated on 85,000 euros: €17,000 for the Tax Agency and a sum of 108,000 for the winner. Finally, the third prize subject to taxes is the one that the balls of the draw awarded to number 45250. Of the 50,000 euros, the buyer of the tenth wins 48,000, 2,000 less.
This tax, yes, should not be declared separately. The winner, when he collects the tenth, will already receive the corresponding amount with the discounted tax. The revenue from the Treasury from this draw accounts for almost a third of the annual total for State Lottery and Gambling prizes.
