Spain's Christmas Lottery drawing, "El Gordo", takes place Monday morning (today!) at 8:30am and generally lasts between 3 and 4 hours.

I wrote a blog entry about Spain\'s Christmas Lottery HERE regarding the 5 tickets I bought for friends as my Christmas gift to them.

Good luck one and all!! xfingers

Saludos, MadridMan

You can the WATCH the lottery LIVE via the front page of http://www.RTVE.es (excellent quality) and TeleMadrid SAT (poor quality) among many.

Good luck! It's starting NOW!!! I'm all nervous!

No winnings yet! But you can see me in the photo below holding a copy of my tickets while watching the Christmas Lottery on the small bedroom television - while I work. xfingers

In the end I didn't win anything - and checked all my numbers online. ONE of the tickets was within ONE digit on the last number. Had I gotten that number, the ticket would've won 200 Euros. Oh well.

Did anyone else out there win a little - or a lot?
