Four million wins the whole ticket, consisting of ten of the same coupons. Respectively, each winning tithe receives 400 thousand euros. In this case, the number wins in all 170 series, that is, the winners of the prize in 400 thousand can become 1700 people in the country. Due to the fact that tickets are often bought collectively, luck often falls together: whole families win, companies, bars, even in small villages. Someone runs to celebrate it at the kiosk, where did you get the ticket, but most prefer not to spread - you never know what.

Tickets, tithes, share

Carmen, the most active member of the Sodeto Housewives Association, drove six miles to the lottery office in Granien, owned by Pilar and Fortunato, and examined all the tickets displayed in the window. The government annually prints Christmas lottery tickets with numbers from 0 to 99 999, and for every 100,000th episode there are several big prizes. The more series produced, the more winners (with the same ticket number). IN 2011 there were such series 180.

One ticket costs 200 euros, and few can buy it entirely, so it is usually broken down into tithes (tenth) by 20 euro per piece, they, in its turn, are divided into even smaller shares (quarter decims). Local communities in small villages, such as the Sodeto Housewives Association, buy a roll of tickets and sell them with a small markup of a door-to-door share, using small commission income to help settle - for example, paying for food and decorations during local festivals. Five euros for participation (a plus 1-1,5 euros, donated to housewives) involve citizens in the game with a chance 0,001 on El Gordo.

Any, who opened the door to public distributors, will buy at least one share, due to obligations, feelings of camaraderie or even guilt. Someone buys a few tithes - three, five, or even more.

Statistics says, that the spaniards, average, spend on the Christmas Lottery almost 70 euro per person, that is, for a family it can be 200-300 euros. Of course, it all depends on the level of income and passion ... but participation in El Gordo is a great national tradition.

A dozen (tenth) # 58268 - these are the numbers that Carmen chose

Tickets end up glued to the fridge, put in a drawer, left next to a stack of mail and forgotten. for most, this is part of a Christmas ritual and even a donation. Of course, it is difficult to seriously count on a big win, but.. still it's Christmas, when a miracle is possible and ... what, if wishes come true?

Where is this little village?

The Christmas lottery draw begins at 9 hours in the morning and lasts several hours. Grand Prize, Fat, can be announced in three hours, but in December 2011 there was only 9:57 in the morning, when ... when the main prize was determined.

Rosa Pons (mayor of Sodeto) did not even watch the broadcast from the Royal Theater in Madrid, only half listening to her on the radio. Nine fifty seven in the morning. It is early, she says to herself. The voice speaks the number, and then says, that it fell to the village of Granien. Where is this little village? the announcer asks. And Rose almost answers: on the plain of Monegros, in Aragon!

Then the winning number is called out loud, completely - 58268 - and she goes in panic for her ticket ... can this be? Then Carmen from the Housewives Association calls her. But what? But what? Could it be? - she's screaming, and Carmen says: "Yes, we won. We took El Gordo!».
