Don’t Miss The El Gordo de Navidad Draw
Christmas is nearly here and the El Gordo de Navidad lottery takes place on December 22 with a prize fund of €2.408 billion.
The El Gordo de Navidad draw has a different format from other lotteries. There are 180 series (eight more than last year) each containing 100,000 numbers. Players purchase tenths with the top prize being €400,000 which is 10% of the €4 million jackpot.
200 years of history
The advertising campaign for the El Gordo de Navidad is now well underway with the release of three commercials. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without this draw which was first held in 1812. Buy a ticket for the draw from Lottery24.
The advertising slogan for 2022 is ‘An extraordinary lottery, full of extraordinary stories.’ There are three stories being told in the adverts.
‘Three Orchids’ tells the story of a man who on a stormy day finds a jackpot winning El Gordo de Navidad ticket with the name ‘Julia three orchids’ written on the back. Does he keep it or try to locate the owner? He sees a van with the name ‘floristeria tres orquideas’ written on it. That allows him to return the ticket to its rightful owner.
In ‘Vika’ a woman has recently moved to Spain and has problems with the language. A female work colleague helps her and great improvement is made. We see them in a bar where Vika is told about the El Gordo de Navidad draw and her friend offers to share a ticket with her as “Here we have a habit of sharing the lottery we care about like our friends.”
Tradition
Finally, we have ‘The Journey’ which is set in a snowy Spanish village. Esteban is a shepherd whose best friend is in hospital. Along with his sheep, he travels a long way to visit him. When arriving there, he gives his friend an El Gordo de Navidad ticket as he does every year. It’s a tradition that simply cannot be broken.
