The El Gordo draw takes place in Madrid, in a pretty spectacular manner: there are two spheres on stage, one holding 100,000 ticket numbers and the other one holding the names of the prizes. They are drawn simultaneously and sung out by two children. There is an incredible volume of prizes and they vary through the years, but the biggest prize pool was a staggering 2,31 billion Euros! Also, usually more than 10% of all tickets win a prize, which makes El Gordo the lottery with best odds in the world. If you’d like to buy a ticket, you can do it here

To enter El Gordo, you choose your ticket number by picking five numbers anywhere from 00000 to 99999 (which are the regular ticket numbers in El Gordo) and wait for the draw to see what you’ve won. If you choose the winning combination, you’ll win the same amount of money as people who have bought the physical winning ticket either through us or an outlet.
