The tricks to avoid being deceived with the Christmas Lottery: how to know if a tenth is fake

The Christmas Lottery draw is just around the corner and the millions of tenths that are circulating throughout our country could be tickets to fortune or a very well prepared trap, just as happens with the fake tenths that come every year. They threaten many players who try their luck.

Having a fake tenth ticket is not as strange as it may seem, and to avoid it we must first be cautious and apply a series of prior measures to avoid falling into scams, making sure that we get official and valid tickets for the draw.

The most important thing is that we decide to buy the tenth ticket at authorized lottery stands, both physically or online. All these establishments and web portals will have logos, codes and verification elements to demonstrate their veracity and to be especially suspicious of those very cheap tenths.

Once we have the tenth, what we will have to look at is if the coupon is stamped by the entity where it was purchased and if it can be read Fractionation authorized by State Lotteries and Betting, along with its numbering and barcode linked to the stake.

Of course, it is essential to make sure that the design of the tenth is that of 2023, in which you can see a representation of the painting The Nativity, by Maestro de Sopetrán, and the logo of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Another very useful way to rule out counterfeits is to have a tenth already spent and check what the paper is like, very characteristic and with a unique texture, to compare its feel and composition, just as happens with money.
