On a date when most of Spain focuses its attention on the Christmas Lottery, one of the most followed draws of the year, there is another date that does not stop even on Christmas Eve: the ONCE Triplex. This draw, which is held 365 days a year, offers players several daily chances to win prizes with simple mechanics and relatively high odds thanks to its three-digit format.
This Wednesday, December 24, 2025, a holiday eve but with usual activity in the lotteries, ONCE carried out its five daily Triplex draws, several of them already with known numbers. Before all the numbers were completed, these were the results of the first two draws:
-
Draw 1: 753
-
Draw 2: 863
The last three draws were still pending at the time of going to press, but the general mechanics and partial results already show how the day unfolded.
What is the ONCE Triplex and how does it work?
The ONCE Triplex is one of the games that the organization celebrates most frequently. Unlike other draws that are only repeated once or twice a week, this one has five draws every day, seven days a week, including holidays such as Christmas Eve.
The main attraction of this daily draw is its simplicity: players buy a share with a three-digit number (from 000 to 999), and each draw draws one of these numbers. The maximum prize is 150 euros per participation if the three numbers are drawn in the same order in which they are drawn during the draw.
With only 1,000 possible combinations, the odds of winning are higher than in other lottery games with longer numbers, which partly explains its popularity among those who prefer frequent draws with immediate results.
In addition to the main prize, there are other ways to win money with the Triplex:
-
10 euros if the three numbers are matched in different order.
-
2 euros if the first two numbers are matched.
-
2 euros if the last two numbers are matched.
-
50 cents if only the first digit is correct.
-
50 cents if only the last digit is correct.
These options mean that even a partial success can mean an extra gift on special dates such as Christmas.
Why the Triplex continues every day of the year
One of the particularities of the Triplex, along with the Super Eleven and other games such as Bonoloto, is that it does not stop on any day of the calendar. ONCE decided to design this format to offer fast and continuous frequencies of play, something that has cultivated a loyal player base looking for instant or almost daily results.
In addition, players who take advantage of multiple bets or who participate on a recurring basis find in this model an activity that fits better with daily life as opposed to other less frequent draws.
A quick, simple and multi-chance sweepstakes
The Triplex format, with five daily chances to win, contrasts with other draws such as the Christmas Lottery, which is held once a year and distributes a huge number of million-dollar prizes. The Triplex, with more modest but frequent prizes, offers players a different dynamic: it is not necessary to wait for long periods to know the results, and partial wins can also bring benefits.
For many participants, especially those who prefer the excitement of everyday life, the possibility of playing several times a day without large financial investments is attractive. Unlike games such as the Christmas jackpot, the Triplex is not life-changing with a single prize, but it can brighten the pocketbook on dates such as Christmas Eve or bring an unexpected extra.
Relationship with other daily drawings
In addition to the Triplex, ONCE organizes other games on a daily basis. The Super Once, for example, is also held every day of the year and offers different ways to win according to specific combinations. For its part, the Bonoloto, organized by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (LAE), also has daily draws.
In addition to the daytime drawings, on Wednesdays such as December 24, ONCE adds to its programming the ONCE Daily Coupon in the evening, increasing the game and prize options for participants.
