Do you like having two national lotteries?Reply

Would you support an American El Gordo?Reply

Spain holds annual Christmas El Gordo lottery drawReply
What a great christmas gift, especially to the winners. And for a 20% tax rate this will be a huge help for the economy of Spain. Lottery continues to bring surprises to people even on christmas day.

How much cut will you take if you were to sell a winning ticket?Reply
