Madrid's Bravo Murillo sold the entire 10-ticket series of El Gordo, the largest prize going for three million Euros, each ticket-holder winning 300,000 Euros. (Hmmm.. Doesn't sound like much of a lottery prize to me.) And the village of Getafe, Madrid won the second prize too! It was DEFINITELY a good day for Madrid - and MadridMan!!

To put it in perspective, my home-USA-state of Ohio holds two STATE lotteries every week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and the MINIMUM a $1 ticket can win is 4 MILLION Dollars (that's about 3 million Euros) and most often there's only one winner. Of course, you have to give up half of that in taxes before you see a penny, but still.

no definitively not like in previous year but every penny or centime helps ::)

Did anyone (besides me!) win the lottery?

All 10 tickets for El Gordo were sold at a Calle Bravo Murillo lottery ticket office. The second biggest winner was sold in Getafe, Madrid. Madrid REALLY cleaned up!

Did anyone ELSE out there win anything?

Saludos, MadridMan

bad bad MadridMan, rub it in, I could not even play it this year ((::o
