‘The other song’ from the Christmas Lottery

Don Quixote, another of the classics of this December 22, has been in the queue that reaches the Plaza de Ópera for four days. He is accompanied by a group of guards from the Reina Sofía Hospital in Murcia: “We have left half a salary in the Lottery,” they joke. To liven up the wait and cope with the sub-zero temperatures this Sunday, they have been singing some numbers and the little song that they have prepared for this day: “This little music hooks me, it gives me a good vibe and a lot of fun. And when an award is played, people dance to it and go crazy. This little music is cool to me, let’s see if my ball comes out in El Gordo.” Helena Cortés tells it. Video by Juan Bitrian.

More tributes to Valencia as the Teatro Real fills up for the Christmas Lottery

“We want the big one for Valencia.” It is the message sent by Aitor and Gonzalo, two teenagers who, covered by the flag of Valencia, have decided to pay tribute to their land. They have come accompanied by their parents, who were removing mud from the towns most affected by DANA and distributing food until help arrived.

The hope of experiencing the Christmas Lottery draw live

María José from Valladolid was, just two hours before the draw began, the last in line. She has come from Valladolid with some friends with the hope of experiencing the draw live this year: “We dressed up as a ball at Carnival and we said that this year we were going to come and experience it from here, which is different,” she says. The lotteries (and bars) in his town have printed the numbers that they sell in case, closer to the drums, they attract more luck.

Testimonies from the Teatro Real before the Christmas Lottery draw starts: “I prefer that it be played in the towns affected by the dana than that it be my turn”

Among the earliest risers are the Valencians Elena and Vincent, which is the sixth year that they have come to the Teatro Real to experience the draw live. Normally, they come dressed as foxes, but this year they wanted to pay tribute to their land and have come dressed as falleros: “The occasion deserved it,” they say proudly. Their town, Lliria, was saved from the floods caused by DANA that devastated the region on October 29, although they have several friends in affected municipalities. Like thousands of young people, they were helping to clean Chiva. I hope luck smiles on this entire area today, they ask, because “it is needed and it can still be seen.” “It would make me happier than if it were my turn,” Vincent says.

What happens if the Lottery Jackpot doesn’t hit anyone?

It is unlikely that anyone will take Gordo’s money, there are 193 series for each number and each series is divided into tenths, which adds up to a total of 1,930 tenths per number. This amount can increase if they are subdivided into the usual shares. However, if no one bought the winning number from the Christmas Raffle and it remained unassigned, the millions of euros destined for the Jackpot prize would go to the State coffers, specifically to the Treasury.
