Spain’s state-owned lottery is under fire after a 15-year-old was revealed as the winner of a €200k jackpot.

This weekend, Spanish media revealed that Cosmin Rotariu, a 15-year-old Barcelona student, held a winning €200k ticket in the latest El Niño lottery draw. The lucky kid helpfully informed reporters that he purchased the ticket with the €20 he’d won playing the El Gordo lottery shortly before Christmas.

Trouble is, the state-run Sociedad Estatal Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (SELAE) requires lottery players to be 18 years or older. Rotariu claims the ticket was purchased with his father Valeriu’s permission, although that doesn’t absolve the ticket seller or SELAE of its obligations to uphold the law.

Naturally, groups representing Spain’s licensed gambling operators – who are routinely subjected to accusations of luring underage gamblers to their doom – are calling on the government to hold someone – anyone – to account over this public relations cockup.
