Spain's El Gordo dishes out €2.6 billion in annual Christmas lotteryReply
I like the x200 top prize amount. What's the payout percentage? The State of Spain wins from the taxes, even with 100% payout.

Happy Holidays and congrats to the people of Spain. There are a lot of interesting elements to El Gordo that makes it seem like a fun AND profitable game to play. When you have people in a theater cheering for a lottery game, you know you have a good game.

Michigan man thought $1 million lottery prize was $1,000Reply
Did he buy the ticket in Spain? Did he buy the ticket in France? No. He bought it in the good old U.S.A.!!!! As a previous poster said, good thing the lottery clerk didn't hand him a thousand bucks and cashed the 1MIL himself/herself. In the end, it all worked out. Hope the winner is wise in spending the winnings. Congrats!

Kentucky man who "coasted" into gas station on empty tank wins $1 million in lotteryReply
1) Who is the other country? 2) I will note that USA is not alone in taxing lottery winnings. I know for sure Italy has a 20% tax and Spain also extracts about 20%. Not sure if they tax on winnings from lotteries not run in their country --where tax is extracted before paying out (like, if an Italian won the Euromillions lottery (Italy is part of Eurojackpot) )

Lottery Post's guide to 2023 holiday raffles across the USAReply
Wouldn't it be great if the USA had an el Gordo jackpot raffle much like Spain does? Maybe Christmastime and independence day. I think it would bring people together. Imagine how much $$$ would wound up in USA el Gordo? And all the winners with there shares of the prize? And because it would be a federal raffle ...those states without a lottery could still play. Maybe sell the raffle at the post office in each town or city? Just saying. BTW thanks for the article Ms Kate
