Good Luck to all the players. In the picture it looks cold damp. So, on Dec. 22, I hope they get a warm

day. Hearing the children sung the numbers out sounds interesting.

Tomorrow, December 22, 2016, is the date to remember.

It will be in the US national and international news.

How high will it go

I don't think they are legally allowed to do hat.

Last year a Senegalese refugee won if I remember correctly.

don't you have to be a citizen of Spain to collect a jackpot win for the EL Gordo?

I remember reading a story about an American who hit it about 10 years ago.

Spain refused to pay.

I use thelotter regularly and this site has ads for them and is using their affiliate program.

They had a customer who won $6M in December 2015 who was from Irag. If I remember correctly the Oregon Lottery comission (where the Iragqi won) confirmed that it was paid out to an Iragi citizen. You can google for the reports arounf that.

I have received some smaller winnings where withdrawing them was somewhat pointless.

Thanks, I don't mind the mark up but is it safe to use them? I'm speaking credit card wise and their history of paying out should there be a winning ticket.

In the summer of 2015 i became friends with 2 girls who had just moved here from spain. After hanging out a few times the lottery came up. In 2014 one of the girls actually won the el gordo. She and her family members won about 30k each. I was very excited to be friends with someone who has won a lottery. Gives me confidence that real people do winand hopefully one day i will be one of those real people

So in the case of the 215 Sodeto winners they all individually won 18.604 , hardly what I would call spectacular. (I'd take it, though

Exactamundo, Mr./Ms. Eddessaknight!

I could sure do with just $1mill, but I'm always harping on that point.

Anyway, it's nice to see that I'm not alone. I'm sure if our lotto models were

altered to reflect those you suggested, we'd have a lot of 1 and 2 $billy hopefuls change their minds.

I do try to amicably change the minds of those friends here, at

Lottery Post, to try and be happy with a $1million prize, instead of the 1 and 2 $billy jackpots.

Of course, I'm unawar... [ More ]

Uhhh, yeah.

Brings back fond memories of the Monopoly game they tried.

The smaller state jackpot games are out there for those that want that type of game.

instead of one 100 Million winner, how bouts 100 one million dollar winners ???

Yeah. You've got to wonder why states have never tried offering smaller lotteries to see if people prefer them to the really big jackpots of PB and MM, huh

The successful popular El Gardo's model, even modified ,could be adopted here, ex instead of one 100 Million winner, how bouts 100 one million dollar winners ??? Imagine the growth potential for the lotteries.

Think about it $$$

On December 22, 2016 there will be a huge party in Spain. I wish I was there and I wish I knew how to speak Spanish.

Less than two weeks before Christmas, the line to buy a ticket for Spain's biggest lottery at Do a Manolita, which some consider the country's luckiest ticket vendor, was roughly 100 people long on a chilly Tuesday evening.

Considering the frenzy that builds as the holiday nears, it was a short wait. Would-be players will stand for up to three hours in a line that snakes along back streets and past storefronts, crowding the capital city's holiday-festooned pathways for a chance to win the mor... [ More ]
