NewzA total solar eclipse visible in Spain has triggered a surge in demand for the number 12.826 in the upcoming 2026 Spanish Christmas Lottery, as it matches the date of the astronomical phenomenon, August 12. The tickets are exclusively sold at a single administration named Loterías Pepito in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid.
The high demand has nearly exhausted the available supply, leaving only 50 décimos remaining. This event marks the first time a total solar eclipse has been visible on the Spanish peninsula since 1912, providing a brief period of darkness that generated widespread public excitement and directly translated into lottery ticket sales.
