Loterías y Apuestas del Estado said a Euromillones ticket validated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife matched five numbers in the Friday, May 15 draw, making it a third-category winner. The prize for that category, known as 5+0, was €83,045.77, according to the official results. The ticket was validated at Administración de Loterías No. 22 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, local reports said. The draw produced no jackpot winner, sending the top prize higher for the next drawing. ### Where was the ticket sold in Santa Cruz de Tenerife? Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the city named for Spain’s third-category winning ticket in Friday’s Euromillones draw. Local newspaper El Día reported that the ticket was sold at the lottery administration in the Centro Comercial Santa Cruz Carrefour, in Añaza. Another local report identified the outlet as Administración de Loterías No. 22. (loteriasyapuestas.es) Administración de Loterías No. 22 was the point of validation cited in coverage of the win. Loterías y Apuestas del Estado’s official draw pages list the results and prize categories, while local outlets supplied the Santa Cruz point of sale. ### What numbers came up in the May 15 draw? The winning numbers on Friday, May 15 were 03, 10, 38, 41 and 43, with Lucky Stars 02 and 09, Loterías y Apuestas del Estado said. (extremadura7dias.com) The Spanish “El Millón” code attached to the draw was BZQ73362. Two tickets across the game matched five numbers without either star, according to the published prize breakdown. (euromillones.com) That made the Santa Cruz de Tenerife slip one of two third-category winners in the draw. ### How much does a 5+0 ticket pay this time? €83,045.77 was the unit prize for the third category in the May 15 draw, according to the published results. (loteriasyapuestas.es) Independent results pages and Spanish local coverage matched that figure, with some local reports rounding it to €83,046. One second-category ticket, matching five numbers and one star, paid €710,654.01, while no first-category 5+2 ticket was sold, according to the same results table. (euromillones.com) The absence of a jackpot winner pushed the next top prize estimate to €92 million. ### Why is this a local story if it was not the jackpot? €83,045.77 is well below the Euromillones jackpot, but Spanish local papers regularly track where notable tickets are validated because the outlets are public-facing and identifiable. (euromillones.com) El Día and other regional publications reported the Santa Cruz validation point within hours of the draw. Hoy, in a report on the same draw, said smaller lottery wins can increase visits and sales at tobacconists and betting shops after a prize is linked to a specific outlet. That description was attributed by the user’s provided source context; the official lottery operator does not quantify that effect in the draw results page. (eldia.es) ### What happens next for the ticket holder? Spanish lottery rules generally require the holder to present the winning ticket to claim the prize, with the payment channel depending on the amount. Loterías y Apuestas del Estado provides prize-checking and claims information through its official Euromillones results and prize-check pages. (euromillones.com) Tuesday, May 19 is the date of the next Euromillones draw, and the jackpot is advertised at €92 million after Friday’s rollover. Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s validated ticket will remain part of the May 15 prize record held by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado. (euromillones.com) (loteriasyapuestas.es)
