Who has not ever dreamed of winning a prize from the Christmas Lottery draw? Who hasn’t done it at some point by winning ‘El Gordo’? Dreaming is free, but it seems that when December 22 arrives, even more so. State Lotteries and Betting once again excites everyone once again with the Christmas Lottery draw, the one that brings together thousands and thousands of people in front of the television and the live broadcast of LA VERDAD who are waiting with hope to be able to toast because fortune has knocked on his door.
There are numerous prizes distributed in this raffle. The main ones are the first, which is called ‘El Gordo’, a second prize, a third, two fourths and the eight fifths. Then comes the rocking and the approximations, but everyone is excited about winning, if not it can be the 400,000 euros (per tenth) of the first, one of the biggest. For this reason, it is important to buy one or several tenths to play with, and even more so to check in the TRUTH search engine if that number that has been stored in the drawer for a while has a prize. You never know when luck may smile on you.
The most precious is the Grand Prize, which has received this name for several centuries. ‘El Gordo’ de Navidad gets this nomenclature from a small, tall character from the late 17th century. This became a kind of mascot for the Christmas Lottery draw. He starred in several advertising campaigns and was baptized as ‘The Lucky Dwarf’ or ‘The Lottery Fanatic’. He was a small man dressed with numerous Lottery balls and was sometimes depicted next to the five balls with the draw numbers. Although only the symbolic value of this figure remains and the representation of it was lost, the name continues to be one of the words most closely related to the draw.
This is one of the curiosities of a raffle that every Christmas renews the hopes of those who trust that that special number that they always buy will come out, or those digits of the tenth that they have chosen this year. There are those who follow the same bet all their lives and others who prefer to change when luck does not come.
Draw time is approaching. To trust in fortune again, to pray that it is your turn once and for all or to put yourself in the hands of Saint Pancras, the saint of the Christmas Lottery. If it is not the ‘Gordo’, it could be one of the many other prizes awarded by State Lotteries and Betting. It’s time to chill the champagne and have it ready: you never know when the time may come to toast and celebrate with your loved ones. And to give yourself that whim or fulfill that dream that had been on hold for so long.
