Villamanín Lottery Payout Nears Finish as Penal Complaint Targets Three Unregistered Slips

A shortfall of tickets forced a negotiated reduction in prizes.

Overview

  • The Villamanín festival association, which disclosed the update Thursday, said 446 of 447 registered participations have been paid, with one due later in April.
  • Owners of three unregistered participations have filed a criminal complaint, and one complainant alleges the slips were stolen from a car.
  • Two suspected fraud attempts involving slips whose authenticity could not be verified are under review by Gómez Gallardo Abogados.
  • Six registered winners who rejected the reduction still received the same payout as others and kept their right to sue.
  • A missing booklet meant more participations were sold than backed by décimos, so each share paid about €59,400 rather than €80,000, and the association will send final account statements after closing taxes and costs.
