Almost 98% of the adult population of Spain plays the Loteria de Navidad making it a beloved Spanish tradition.
The Loteria de Navidad is known in Spain as “El Gordo” (The Fat One) because of its enormous prize pools.
The first ever Spanish Christmas Lottery was conducted in 1812, which makes it one of the oldest lotteries in the entire world.
Since the currency for the prizes of the Loteria de Navidad were changed from pesetas to euros, the entire duration of the results ceremony was reduced. This happened because it takes less time to sing the word “euro” than the word “pesetas”.
Every year, the Spanish Christmas Lottery creates a very special template for the tickets. To honor Spain’s vast cultural heritage, Loteria de Navidad tickets include a digital print of the greatest paintings in Spanish history.
On Loteria de Navidad's 2021 tickets, you can admire "The Virgin of the Pomegranate". It is attributed to Fra Angelico and is a true masterpiece of its time (15th century). This painting was acquired by the Museo del Prado in 2016, and was said to be in an excellent state of conservation. The Virgin of the Pomegranate is part of a series of Virgin & Child compositions painted in the 1420's by Fra Angelico. It truly reveals the mastery of anatomy, light and space of this amazing artist.
On the 2020 tickets you could see a print of the La Adoracion de los Magos (Adoration of the Magi), by the internationally renowned El Bosco. The triptych oil painting on wood panel by the Netherlandish artist Hieronymous Bosch dates back to 1485-1500.
The Loteria de Navidad is more than a simple lottery in Spain because it is already part of Spanish tradition. As such, every small detail that goes into organizing this marvelous yearly draw is made to pay tribute to all the amazing things about this wonderful country.
