This year's world famous ‘El Gordo' Lottery draw is due to take place on Wednesday the 22nd of December – and the good news is that it is not too late to take part !
A whole ticket, or ‘billete' costs €200, but these are split into ‘décimos', or tenths to make it much easier for participants to afford to take part. The cost of one decimo is therefore one tenth of a billete, and similarly, the prize fund is one-tenth of what the whole ticket would win.
Billetes are sold in series of numbers with a set number of prizes for each series. The number of series can vary from year to year. For example 2009 contained 195 such series, therefore the draw for 2009 comprised a staggering 195 €3 million Jackpots together with 195 second prizes of €1 million , 195 third prizes of €500'000 prizes of €1,000, 390 fourth prizes of €200,000 and 1'560 prizes of €50'000 – per billet.
