El Gordo - Lottery

[djedwardsmith]

Evening all. Bit of a random one this but does anyone play the Christmas "El Gordo" lottery from outside of Spain?

Thinking of grabbing a ticket but wasn't sure if there was a particular website to go through (or whether it was even possible for someone overseas).

the numbers are read out by kids on state tv. the event is a bit of a national institution (i think they're orphans but I might be wrong on that)

Yeah they are - I love the whole history of it, how it's presented and how everyone gets involved (and of course the classic interviews when half the town are winners).
