Marbella restaurant is the hub of large Christmas lottery win

Posted on: December 22nd, 2025

The Christmas Lottery draw has left approximately €160 million in Marbella thanks to the El Leonés Restaurant. The establishment, located in Las Palmeras, has been playing the same number for 35 years, a number brought from La Bañeza (León), where the top prize, El Gordo, was won. This establishment had sold a total of 400 tickets of the winning number, as explained by the restaurant owner, Tina Romero. The celebration was immediate, and many of those who won the lottery ticket came to El Leonés to toast and celebrate their good fortune in a draw that usually leaves few prizes in Marbella.
