El Gordo is the largest lottery in the world

El_Gordo_lottery.jpg Christmas is the best time of the year. I'm one hundred percent convinced of this after reading about the El Gordo (or the "Fat One") Christmas lottery in Spain. It's not a normal lottery, in fact I think it's a lottery made by Santa himself. It is worth almost 3 billion dollars in prizes. To add icing to the cake, the Spanish government doesn't tax it. It is definitely the world's largest lottery. It is said that 18% of the participants stand a chance at winning something, which means extremely good odds. There are only a limited amount of tickets sold at $260, which are further sold in decimos at $26 (if you win you get only 10% of the prize). So take a gamble this Christmas. Santa might just reward you through this. Depends on whether you've been naughty or nice.
