Until when can I collect the tenth?

The duration of the period for claiming the prize is three months from the day of the draw. Since the draw was on January 6, the deadline ends on April 6, which means that those furthest behind are in danger of losing the money.

If the amount received is less than 2,000 euros, you can simply go to a State Lottery and Betting administration.

There are more than 6,000 bank offices throughout the state that collaborate to provide this service.

How much does it take?

It is worth remembering that the municipalities of the Region took home almost three million euros with the winning coupons. Depending on the amount you had obtained, the Treasury will charge in proportion to the amount. The institution will take 20% of profits over 40,000 euros. Of the first reward of 200,000, the State Agency would take 32,000 and 7,000 of the 75,000 of the second.

Before 2013, prizes won in lotteries and bets were not taxed, but starting this year, 20% had to be counted for rewards of 2,500 euros. Over the last decade the limit has grown to reach 40,000 euros. From 40,001, 40,000 euros are deducted and 20% taxes are applied. However, don't forget to stop by your bank or administration because the days to collect it are coming to an end and a gift doesn't hurt anyone.
