Spain's World Cup final date number 19726 sells out except in Motril

The number 19726, which matches the date Spain won the 2026 World Cup final (19 July 2026), has become one of the most sought-after décimos for Spain's Christmas Lottery. It is nearly sold out nationwide, but a small supply remains at Loterías Fajardo in Motril, Granada, thanks to a local water polo club that has played this number for years Source: El Confidencial.

The phenomenon

The Club Waterpolo Motril has long reserved the number with the administration. After Spain's victory over Argentina, demand surged, and the club's president, Gerardo Romano, says they are "desbordados" by calls from across Spain Source: Infobae. Romano notes the number "se ha hecho viral a consecuencia de ganar España su segunda estrella" Source: El Mundo.

Limited availability

Romano warns, "Ya nos quedan pocos e igual no llegamos a septiembre al ritmo que llevamos" Source: El Confidencial. María Jesús Egea, from Loterías Fajardo, says only the décimos reserved by the club and other regulars remained Source: Infobae. She adds that the number is still available in other draws throughout the year Source: El Mundo.

A lucky year?

Romano believes 2026 "va a ser nuestro año," citing the World Cup win and the fact that a Motril-born actress, Tusti de las Heras, appears in this year's lottery TV ad Source: El Confidencial. The story reflects a common tradition of choosing numbers linked to special dates Source: El Confidencial.
