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
