ONCE Weekend Coupon Awards €20,000

A €20,000 ONCE Weekend Coupon prize landed in Sanxenxo after a ticket sold in the Pontevedra resort town matched the Saturday, May 16 draw, according to Faro de Vigo. The newspaper reported on May 18 that the winning ticket had been sold by ONCE vendor Rubén Díaz Escudero on his route through the locality. The prize was attached to a single coupon, the report said. ONCE’s official results pages list winning numbers and payment information for its lottery-style games. ### Which draw produced the Sanxenxo prize? The winning ticket in Sanxenxo corresponded to the ONCE “Cupón Fin de Semana” draw held on Saturday, May 16, Faro de Vigo reported. The paper said the prize amounted to €20,000 for one ticket sold in the town. ONCE describes the Weekend Coupon as one of the organization’s regular games and directs players to its JuegosONCE results pages to verify winning numbers and prizes. The organization also says those platforms provide information on how winners can check and collect prizes. ### Who sold the winning ticket? Rubén Díaz Escudero was the vendor who sold the €20,000 ticket in Sanxenxo, according to Faro de Vigo. The newspaper said he sold the coupon on his local sales route rather than from a fixed kiosk. Sanxenxo is part of the Pontevedra area in Galicia, and Faro de Vigo’s report placed the sale within Díaz Escudero’s regular route through the municipality. The article did not identify the buyer. ### What is ONCE, and why are its coupons widely followed in Spain? ONCE is the Spanish National Organization of the Blind, a long-established institution that combines social services with fundraising through authorized games including daily and weekend coupons, according to the organization’s website. ONCE says revenue generated by sales of its gaming products is dedicated to its social purposes. The Weekend Coupon format regularly produces local news coverage in Spain because prizes are often tied to named vendors and specific neighborhoods or towns. Faro de Vigo has previously reported similar ONCE wins in Pontevedra province, including other €20,000 Weekend Coupon prizes and larger multi-ticket payouts. ### How large is a €20,000 Weekend Coupon win in this format? A €20,000 prize is a standard secondary payout in ONCE Weekend Coupon reporting, based on ONCE’s own descriptions of past draws and local press accounts of winning tickets. ONCE news releases about Weekend Coupon results have described draws in which one top “Sueldazo” prize is accompanied by multiple tickets paying €20,000 each. That makes the Sanxenxo result notable as a single-ticket local win rather than a jackpot-scale payout. Faro de Vigo’s report framed it as one coupon sold in the town, with Díaz Escudero identified as the seller. ### What do winners do next? ONCE tells players to use its official JuegosONCE results pages to check whether their coupon number matches a prize and to review the procedures for collecting winnings. (once.es) The organization’s website says those pages cover both current and historical results for its games. For the Sanxenxo ticket holder, the next step is to verify the coupon against the Saturday, May 16 results through ONCE’s official channels.
