Since this system only produces 100,000 unique ticket numbers, each ticket number is printed multiple times, in several so-called series (<i>series</i>). The series is also identified on each ticket by a series number. In this way, the lottery organizer is able to sell more than 100,000 tickets each year, numbered from "Series 001 Ticket 00000" through "Series xxx Ticket 99999", where xxx is the total number of series printed in a given year. In 2022, there are 180 series of 100,000 tickets each, for a total of 18,000,000 tickets available at €200 each. If all €3.6 billion tickets were sold, there would be €2.52 billion (seventy per cent of ticket sales) available for prizes. </p><p>Because the €200 ticket price may be prohibitive for many purchasers, each of the pre-printed tickets is actually a <a href="/wiki/Perforation" title="Perforation">perforated</a> tear-apart sheet of ten identical sub-tickets (or fractions) sold for €20 each. Each one of these fractions is known as a <i>décimo</i> (one-tenth). Each <i>décimo</i> is entitled a ten per cent of any prize that the ticket has won. </p><p>Tickets are officially sold in official lottery shops (<i>administraciones</i>) throughout the country as well as by licensed (and unlicensed) sellers on the street. Frequently a shop will sell a ticket number in all series meaning all the winners of that ticket will have purchased their tickets in that location. This sometimes leads to a small village full of grand prize winners. Locations where previous grand prize winners were sold (<i>El Gordo</i>) often becomes a location of lottery pilgrimage where thousands of people (both local and from far away) will queue and buy their ticket at this location "for luck". The tickets are also sold outside of Spain, usually online (legally or illegally) often with a notable markup in price. </p><p>On a private basis, or through associations, charities, workplaces, sports teams, cafés, shops, and other organizations, it is also possible to buy or be given a fraction of a <i>décimo</i> (one-tenth ticket), called a <i>participación</i> (a share). Many organizations buy <i>décimos</i> and divide them further into shares and sell them to the public, colleagues, or members of an association. Usually, with charities and special organizations, a small transaction fee is applied which is effectively a donation to the organization. Street sellers may take a commission earning a small profit. <i>Participaciones</i> (shares) are made by writing the ticket number and the amount paid on a piece of paper (possibly on a photocopy of the ticket) and then signed. The paper is a legal contract in Spain and proof of participation in the ticket. If the ticket is a winner, anyone holding a share will be entitled to their proportional amount of the prize payout. For example, a charity may buy a <i>décimo</i> (one-tenth ticket) and split it further into ten more <i>participaciones</i> (shares), in this case selling them for €2 each plus €1 extra as a donation to the charity. If their number wins, they will get a one per cent of the prize (one-tenth of one-tenth). </p><p>For 2022, there are 180 <i>series</i> of 100,000 <i>billetes</i> (from 00000 to 99999) at €200 each. The maximum ticket sales of €3.6 billion would produce a prize payout of €2.52 billion (seventy per cent of ticket sales).

Due to the sheer number of prizes, this procedure takes many hours. The children work in about eight to nine shifts, equal to the number of frames of numbers to be drawn.<sup id="cite_ref-draw2011-1_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-draw2011-1-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-draw2011-2_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-draw2011-2-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-draw2011-3_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-draw2011-3-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-draw2011-4_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-draw2011-4-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-draw2011-5_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-draw2011-5-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The balls have holes on them so they can be placed onto long wires, which are stored in frames for later presentation. When a major prize is drawn, both children pause, sing the prize and ticket number multiple times and show the balls to a committee, and then to a fixed camera with two Phillips <a href="/wiki/Screwdriver" title="Screwdriver">screwdriver</a> heads mounted at the front, all before being inserted into a frame as the others. Although the drawing is by chance, the children who draw the higher prizes are applauded. Apart from the prizes drawn from the vessel, some prizes are calculated from the winning numbers (view the table with prizes above). Once the grand prize (<i>El Gordo</i>) is declared, this number is instantly broadcast on television, online and on public screens. </p><p>The two-vessels system was the traditional system used by Lotería Nacional in its draws, but nowadays it is only used in the special Christmas draw. Since 1965 the rest of the ordinary and special Lotería Nacional draws use five spherical cages with ten balls each (numbered 0 to 9), from where the five digits of the winning numbers are drawn. </p><p>The smallest prize is the <i>reintegro</i>, tickets that end with a certain digit get the money back. That means ten per cent of all tickets get the money back. There is a 5.3% chance of winning higher prizes meaning more than ten per cent of all tickets win some prize which is a significantly higher winning rate than most other lotteries. The prize structure makes it easier to win some money compared to other lotteries, and it is common saying that the prizes of the Christmas Lottery are well distributed all around Spain. Chances of winning <i>El Gordo</i> are 1 in 100,000, that is 0.001%, while chances of winning the top prize of <a href="/wiki/EuroMillions" title="EuroMillions">EuroMillions</a> are 1 in 139,838,160 or 0.00000072%, and chances of winning the top prize of <a href="/wiki/Mega_Millions" title="Mega Millions">Mega Millions</a> are 1 in 302,575,350 or 0.00000000330496189%. </p><p>Non-winners are known to claim "it's health that really matters" after losing. Those who get their money back often re-invest it in a ticket for <i>Sorteo Extraordinario de El Niño</i>, the second most important Lotería Nacional draw, held every January 6, the <a href="/wiki/Epiphany_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Epiphany of Jesus">Epiphany of Jesus</a> day. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="El_Gordo"><i>El Gordo</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Spanish_Christmas_Lottery&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: El Gordo"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The climax of the drawing is the moment when <i>El Gordo</i> is drawn.<sup id="cite_ref-gordo2011_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gordo2011-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lottery outlets usually only sell tickets for one or two numbers, so the winners of the largest prizes often live in the same town or area or work for the same company.

However, the real meaning of <i>El Gordo</i> is simply "the first prize" (literally "the fat one" or more accurately "the big one"); other lotteries have their <i>Gordo</i> as well.
