El Gordo Result

While it might not be the first lottery that springs to mind, El Gordo, Spain's Christmas Lottery, is legendary, especially around December. Known as "The Fat One," it's famed for dishing out the biggest total prize pool worldwide. Think of it as the highlight of the 'Loterías y Apuestas del Estado', bringing festive cheer – and life-changing jackpots – to players across the country.

The draw happens live from Madrid's Teatro Real every December 22nd at 9:00 am CET. It's more than just a lottery; it's a national tradition. El Gordo is a special, once-a-year draw of the weekly Lotteria National, designed to spread Christmas joy – and massive winnings.

Imagine scooping €4 million for the top prize! Second place bags a cool €1.25 million, followed by €500,000 for third. Two fourth-place tickets win €200,000 each, and eight fifth-place tickets grab €60,000 apiece. With such incredible prizes, El Gordo truly lives up to its name!
