What is the Christmas Lotto?

The Christmas Lotto, or El Gordo 'Sorteo Extraordinario de Navidad', is an annual lottery that takes place on December 22nd in Madrid, Spain. It is the biggest lottery in the world when measured by prize pool size. The estimated prize pool for this year's draw is currently €2.8 Mrd. 

 

In Spain, each series of numbers between 00000 and 99999 has 198 complete sets sold. This makes up the large prize fund; however, at Lottoland, we only run one series of numbers for each available number. The main jackpot prize is known as "El Gordo" - a huge €4,000,000 payout! 

 

At Lottoland, you can bet on the outcome of the draw and win the same prizes as if you had bought a ticket for the official draw.
