The biggest lottery in the world
Spain's Christmas lottery, the Lotería de Navidad, pays out more in total than any other draw on earth, and the country stops for it on the twenty-second of December. Whole tickets are expensive, so they are sold in tenths called décimos and shared out — offices, bars, families and neighbors buy in together, which means a winning number tends to enrich an entire town at once. The numbers are sung, for hours, by schoolchildren from the San Ildefonso school, live on television. The top prize is called El Gordo: the fat one.
