El Gordo
El Gordo de Navidad is the world-famous Christmas lottery based on five-digit ticket numbers and massive prize sharing across décimos.
About El Gordo
Unlike pick-number games, you buy décimos or participations of a five-digit code. The draw uses two spherical drums — one for ticket numbers and one for prize tiers — broadcast live in December.
Hundreds of prize categories exist; many small prizes keep communities engaged. This page shows illustrative data — the Christmas draw structure is unique each year.
