(Navidad) (El Gordo) (The Fat One)
Spain's largest lottery organisation
ONLAE offers 'Navidad' (El Gordo, the fat
one) the only single lottery draw in the world to award more than $1 billion in
prizes. Navid captivates the entire nation. This can be seen not only in
the popular hobby of collecting old lottery tickets, tickets from the first
draw have been known to bring in excess of US$10,000, but also in ticket
numbers that are held, indeed cherised, by familes. Some familes have reserved
the same number for 50 years, passing it from generation to
generation. Sales during December for the annual Christmas draw of Navidad
account for approximately 23% of total sales for ONLAE
