The Spanish Christmas Lottery – El Gordo
The Spanish Christmas Lottery is the biggest day of the year in Spain. It dates back to 1812 when it was introduced by King Carlos III. He brought the idea to Spain from Naples. The Spanish Christmas Lottery will be held on December 22, 2019, and the payout will be more than 2 billion Euros.
The nickname El Gordo means Fat one. It is called that because there are so many big cash prizes to be handed out. In fact, almost everyone will end the day with cash. People will be able to buy shares in El Gordo. It cost 200 euros to buy a ticket. That is a lot of money. So people buy shares in the tickets. A share is 20 euros for 1/10th of the prize money. Offices chip in, families, ball teams and any other group you want to get in. There are cash prizes handed out all day.
Experience
They say the experience is part of the fun. But what if you want to let your family and friends in on the fun that does not live in Spain? Maybe you are having your Christmas party early in December. Give your friends and family Spanish Christmas Lotto Tickets. Give them the chance to become rich beyond their wildest dreams!
You do not have to count them and go stand in line to buy them. You can go online at Lottoland and purchase your tickets. Just print them and put them in a card and you are the hit of the season. On the day, you can all check your numbers together. If you live away from each other pull up Facetime, Skype or whatever program you use and see if anyone in your group has become an instant millionaire or billionaire!
How the numbers are picked
Every 22nd December from 9 am in the morning forty children aged 8 to 14 years old from the school ‘Colegio de San Ildefonso’ in Segovia, which was formerly an orphanage.
The children are called ‘los niños de San Ildefonso’ and in pairs, they pick out small wooden numbered balls out of the two big golden drums that contain all 100.000 numbers. This lottery ceremony is called ‘el soniquete de los Niños de San Ildefonso.’
One drum has the winning numbers and the other has the prize amounts. The children come forward in pairs and pick and announce a lottery number from one drum, and then pick and announce a prize amount for that number from the other drum.
The ceremony takes place at the ‘Teatro Real de Madrid’. It takes over three hours to perform this custom. It is festive, sweet, and part of the Spanish holiday.
Give Spanish Christmas Lottery Tickets for your holiday gifts this year and bring the excitement to your celebration.
