December 22 is one of the most anticipated days of the year. That date in which the hope floods millions of Spanish homes with the hope that the children of San Idelfonso will sing the ‘El Gordo’ number and that this coincides with your Christmas Lottery tickets.
Although you can buy tickets for the draw since the summer, it is these days when you enter the final stretch to get that specific combination and you begin to see long lines at the most emblematic administrations. The reasons for buying are many, although one of the most repeated is ‘just in case’.
The provinces where the most Lottery tenths are sold
Not all provinces spend the same amount. State Lotteries and Betting publishes a dossier every year where you can see the lottery allocation in the different provinces and communities, in this case in 2024.
In Madrid, for example, there have been allocated 575,081,000.00 euroswhich represents an average of 83.83 per inhabitant. However, the capital is not where most is spent on lottery. This is the ranking of the provinces, according to the allocation per inhabitant in 2024.
