Spain’s social lottery organisation Grupo ONCE has delivered a standout performance, announcing a record €2.829 billion in net revenue during 2024, marking the strongest result in the foundation’s history and exceeding prior forecasts by a notable margin.
As the entity behind the highly successful Cupón Diario and regional lottery products, ONCE credits the surge to sustained demand and operational leverage across its digital and retail channels. The latest achievement underscores the model’s dual mission: delivering financial support for social initiatives while maintaining ambitious commercial growth.
While ONCE operates under a non-profit mandate, the revenue surplus enables it to expand funding for services targeting visually impaired communities, employability programs, and accessibility innovation—empowering its status as both social movement and economic actor. The organisation emphasises that the financial outperformance directly benefits its broader public mission.
Industry analysts note that the result positions ONCE as one of the most efficient lottery operators within the EU lottery ecosystem. Despite challenging macroeconomic conditions across Iberia—currency fluctuations and low inflation—ONCE managed to preserve margins via cost discipline and digital drive, with online lottery contributing significantly to volume.
Moving forward, Grupo ONCE is expected to channel part of the surplus toward bolstering its digital product suite and cooperative ventures in Latin America and other European markets. Its ability to sustain social impact in tandem with steady revenue growth continues to serve as a benchmark for mixed‑model operators worldwide.
