Every December 22 for over 100 years, the extraordinary Christmas lottery draw takes place in Spain. With it, several million euros are distributed, the first prize, known as Gordo, equivalent to 4,000,000 … euros per invoice, made up of 10 tenths.
In this way, the one who has a tenth prize awarded with the Gordo number of the Christmas Lottery will win 400,000 euros, an amount from which the 20% tax levied by the Treasury will have to be subtracted.
214 are all the Gordo numbers released in the history of the Christmas Lottery draw, one per year since 1812, the first of these being number 03604 and the last, the Gordo of 2024, 72,480.
If you are one of those who still want to buy a ticket, since there is still time until December 21, you may be wondering which number would be best to choose, even if the choice does not imply anything because the prize numbers come out randomly. The truth is that, over all the years of the Christmas Lottery, there has been a specific number that has been awarded repeatedly under the name Gordo.
