Tomorrow's the BIG DAY Spain's El Gordo Christmas Lottery! Woo Hoo!
It starts promptly at 9am and can be followed live on Spain's TVE, channel 1 either via local television or online at
http://www.rtve.es/ . It should last about 1.5-2 hours, I think.
Tickets are sold in "
décimos" (a "one tenth") and each ticket contains 5 numbers. There are 10 tickets in each series, all containing the same 5 numbers in the same order. Buy the entire 10-ticket series (at 20-Euros a pop!) containing the same 5 numbers, match those numbers in the lottery, and you win 4 MILLION Euros!
Buy only one of the "
décimos", match those 5 numbers in order, and you win 400,000 Euros. There are 180 winners for each 5-digits.
Tomorrow, you'll see televised winners outside bars, shooting-off bottles of Cava in celebration of their 4 Million Euros, 400,000 Euros, or much less. They love to celebrate ANY win. Can you blame them?!
I've got my 2 tickets, 2 different numbers, choosing tickets which end in 4 and 7 - two of my lucky numbers. Let's see if we win anything. It's also common to buy and then gift tickets to friends and family. I've done that for the last several years. Last year my group of 5-persons won like 80 Euros - after I'd spent 100 Euros on tickets. Hehehe...
Check numbers online at
http://www.elgordo.com/ . Best of luck, everyone! I'll be watching live!!
