The Special Public Lottery program, with a budget of €8.5 million, concluded today at 15:00, the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family announced. The draw, held at the Independent Authority for Public Revenue and conducted in cooperation with an independent certified body, selected 8,500 winners; each winner will receive €1,000.
