As prevention is better than cure, we are going to tell you a series of tips and precautions that we recommend you take with Christmas Lottery 2025. Thus, when purchasing and especially when sharing your tenth, you can ensure that you do so in a reliable and secure way.

We are going to give you these tips in a list format, so that they are easy to understand, and at each point we will give you a simplified explanation. We’ll start with precautions when buying lottery tickets, and then we’ll move on to other tips when you’re going to share your numbers.

Precautions when sharing Lottery

Now we are going to continue giving you a series of tips and precautions when it comes to share Lottery numbers with other people. With them you will avoid misunderstandings, problems and someone taking all the money.

• Do it with people you know: It’s pretty obvious that the best way to safely share a tenth is to do it with people you trust. But what I mean by this is that you don’t share the tenths happily with people you don’t know, especially if they are the ones who buy it.
• Signed copies: If you purchase a ticket collaboratively, all participants must have a signed photocopy. It must include the name and ID of the depositary, who has the physical ticket, and who the participants are. The number of the tenth, series, fraction and draw must be included, and the amount that each person has played.
• Photocopies only for the record: The copies that are distributed can be of the receipt if you buy it online or a copy with both sides of the ticket if it is purchased physically. With these photocopies you cannot collect the number, that will have to be done by whoever physically has it, but by having written proof of who shares it you ensure that you have legal support in case there is a problem.
• If you play with clubs, let everything be clear: It is common for there to be clubs where people who are not so well known to each other make collaborative purchases. In this case, make sure that everything we have told you before is fulfilled and that everything is perfectly clear in writing.
• You can share it on WhatsApp: You can also send a photocopy of the number with all the data digitally. Whether you do it by email or WhatsApp, it will serve as proof as long as the details of the depositary, the participants and the participation of each one are included.
• All with the same photo or copy: Having a copy or a photo of the ticket with all the participants’ information does not guarantee you will collect it. Sometimes someone may claim that it is a fake photo and you will have to prove that the document is real. To do this, it is important that you all have the same photo or copy, since this makes it easier to prove that it is real, and do not forget that you must have the aforementioned data.
• Never post the tenth on social networks: NEVER share a photo of your lottery tickets or photocopies of participation on social networks. Come on, don’t let anyone see the complete number with its barcode, since they could try to charge it for you. If you want to share it anyway, delete or cover the barcodes and QR codes that appear.
• Don’t take too long to get paid: If you have had something, you should know that the tenth expires after three months, so don’t think about it too much. The sooner you collect it and distribute the money the better.

Precautions when buying the Lottery

Let’s start by giving you advice when it comes to buy Christmas Lottery. These are basic precautions to ensure that the purchase is safe and that you are not scammed, thus avoiding scams and deception.

• Buy on official sites: The first thing is to avoid buying the lottery from administrations that are not official. There are more than 11,000 official points of sale spread throughout the country, such as administrations. And if you buy it from an intermediary or from your trusted bar, always make sure it has a seal from the administration.
• Be careful with online purchases: If you are going to buy lottery from home, always do it from official websites or applications or from real lottery administrations. We have told you about several apps and pages in our article about buy Christmas Lottery.
• Be careful with individuals: Be wary of people who sell you tickets online, and who resort to scams such as sending them to you by PDF. Also always be wary of anyone who sells you a tenth below its usual price of 20 euros, because it will be false. When in doubt, it is best to always buy it only at official points of sale.
• Avoid suspicious websites: The advice from the previous point applies to second-hand buying and selling pages like Wallapop and similar. Never buy from those sites from individuals.
• For more peace of mind: We always use the example of a good website as YourLotero. There you will be able to buy lotteries from many administrations in Spain and search for specific numbers. If you want to buy online, it is always one of the best options.
• Be careful with payments: And if we have told you to buy from official or reliable websites, it is no longer just because they can scam you out of 20 euros. If you are going to take the risk and risk spending 20 euros on an unknown website, pay special attention to the payment gateways. Never give your security number along with the card number on those pages. Unless it is a well-known site such as large administrations, lottery services or similar, never enter your card information or 20 euros will be the minimum they steal from you.
