Lottery RafflesReply
I know this was kind of dead...but is EL GORDO the same thing? How does this work? You get a ticket with a ticket number on it, like say 123456. And what happens? Do they draw a ticket out of the hopper to be declared the winner and then they distribute other prizes based on that ticket number? Or are balls brought out of the hopper? I see that EL GORDO pays 1 in every 6 tickets. That's not bad is it?

The fact is it is in Spanish and they would not be able to understand it anyways. This info comes from Spanish natives. If your friends want to think their leg is being pulled let them.

El Gordo awards over €2.4 billion in famous Christmas raffleReply
Don't know why MM and PB need to combine just to offer a Christmas time raffle like El Gordo when several states could do that on their own. They probably don't because they don't want to hear why are all the winners from New York ?
