There is less time left for the 2023 Christmas Lottery. In just over two months, the long-awaited Friday, December 22, will arrive and the drums will begin touring at the Teatro Real in Madrid, like every year. Therefore, if you have not yet gotten your ticket, perhaps it is time to buy it to save yourself the queues and last-minute rush.
In this sense, remember that you can locate your numbers on our website. It is a simple and quick way to know where you can get that combination of digits that inspires you confidence or that you have been betting on for years. Who knows if this year it could be the number awarded with the most beloved prize of the year, the Christmas Lottery Jackpot.
This first prize of the draw distributes 4 million euros to the series and 400,000 euros to each tenth winner. A great loot that, despite the percentage that the Treasury takes, in these times of inflation can also be used to buy some whim that you could not afford under normal conditions.
The numbers that Gordo have repeated
Therefore, the big key is which number to choose. Each player follows a certain pattern to buy their tenth: a combination that conveys luck, the one their family has played all their lives or simply the first one they find in an administration. Any can be valid. After all, the probability of El Gordo playing is one in 100,000. That is, 0.001%. Of course, there are many more possibilities than other draws that are more repeated during the year, such as the EuroMillion, whose probability is approximately 1 in 76 million.
In any case, what cannot be ruled out is that a number that has won on other occasions wins the jackpot again. In fact, it has happened twice in the lottery’s more than 200-year history.
The first number was 15640, which El Gordo won for the first time in 1956 and repeated a little more than 20 years later, in 1978. The other left a much longer parenthesis. It is 20297, which was the luckiest combination in 1903. In 2006, more than a century later, it once again won the Christmas Lottery jackpot.
Almost a third of municipalities
Where El Gordo has not been repeated many times is in the Region of Murcia. In fact, not even a third of the municipalities have ever been able to celebrate the ecstasy of winning this award. Specifically, 14 locations: Murcia, Cartagena, Yecla, Alcantarilla, Fortuna, La Unión, Alcantarilla, Lorca, Molina de Segura, Cehegín, Torre Pacheco, Mazarrón, Villanueva del Río Segura, Las Torres de Cotillas, San Pedro del Pinatar.
