There is less and less until the long-awaited day of the Extraordinary Draw of the Christmas Lottery 2024 arrives. This event not only awakens the illusion of winning great prizes, but also implies an inevitable meeting with the Treasury for those lucky ones who manage to get a tenth prize. With a 20% retention for prizes over 40,000 eurosthe dream of being a millionaire can be affected by tax obligations.
The winner of ‘Gordo’, who takes a prize of 400,000 euros per tenthyou will see how the Treasury withholds 72,000 euros, finally keeping 328,000 euros. This remarkable amount of money is enough to make many wonder if there is any way to prevent the Treasury from taking a significant portion of their profits.
Although the withholding is automatic and takes place before the winner collects his prize, there is a little known legal method which allows you to recover the money that the Treasury retains.
The legal trick
This legal trick consists of take out specific insurance for the Christmas Lottery tickets. Once the draw is held, if the number wins, the insurer is responsible for returning the 20% that was automatically withheld.
However, it is essential to keep in mind that this insurance has a cost, which is around 3 euros per tenth. In addition, each tenth must be insured separately. Therefore, if a player decides to buy several tenths, they will have to pay an additional amount which, if they win a high prize, could be very beneficial.
The prize figures are impressive, but so are the taxes that must be paid. For example, The second prize awards 125,000 euros per tenth, of which 17,000 will go to the Treasury, leaving the winner with 108,000 euros. The third prize, which awards 50,000 euros, leaves 48,000 euros in the winner’s account after taxes.
