El Gordo, which means \“The Fat One\“ in Spanish, is the famous Christmas lottery in Spain that takes place every year on December 22nd. It is known as the world\“s largest lottery in terms of total prize money.
The lottery has a long tradition dating back to 1812 and has become an important part of Spanish culture. People across the country participate in this annual event, with many buying tickets from the same vendor year after year for good luck.
What makes El Gordo unique is its prize distribution system. Instead of having one massive jackpot winner, the lottery distributes prizes across multiple winning numbers, making it possible for thousands of people to win substantial amounts.
The drawing ceremony is a major television event in Spain, lasting several hours as school children from San Ildefonso school sing out the winning numbers and prizes. |
