Every year, all over Iberia, a national event takes place. On the 22nd of December, the draw for the El Gordo lottery takes place. It's watched by virtually every Spaniard, plus countless ticket buyers from all around the world. The odds of this lottery are excellent and so the chances of winning, either the main prize or some of the secondary prizes, is very good. Technically, a single ticket costs a whopping €200, but tickets are sold by dividing them into tenths called “décimos”, at €20 each.

The first Spanish lottery was established in 1763 by King Carlos III. The idea was to help poor people, though in truth all national lotteries of the period were all about raising and collecting extra taxes. Never the less, Spain now offers some of the highest paying lottery prizes in the world. What's more, you don't even have to be Spanish in order to play. There are many websites you can logon to buy your tickets. The lottery draws are either daily, weekly, or for the largest, monthly.
