ONCE

The Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles (ONCE), or National Organization of Spanish Blind People, is a Spanish organization well-known for managing various lottery games. These include the daily 'Cupón Diario', the weekend 'Sueldazo', and the Friday 'Cuponazo', all popular in Spain. ONCE is newsworthy due to recent lottery draws, with prizes ranging from €500,000 in the daily draw to €6,000,000 in the Cuponazo. Recently, the Cuponazo distributed €6.6 million in Madrid. Beyond lotteries, ONCE supports people with disabilities. The Museo Tiflológico de la ONCE recently hosted an exhibition by a visually impaired artist, Carmen Bozzano. ONCE also highlights the achievements of disabled individuals, such as Javier García Pajares, a deaf-blind man who advocates for inclusivity. ONCE's activities demonstrate its dual role: providing lottery services and supporting the blind and disabled communities in Spain.
