Spain's largest lottery organisation ONLAE offers
Navidad, known as El Gordo, or the Fat One, it is the only single lottery draw
in the world to award more than $1 billion in prizes.
Navidad 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
