History of gambling in Spain

Historical fact: spaniards, being by nature gambling, became the creators of playing cards. Already in the Middle Ages on the Iberian Peninsula there were gambling rooms for participating in card games. The development of the gambling business was interrupted at the beginning of the twenties of the XX century and revived with the accession to the throne of King Juan Carlos de Bourbon of Spain.

Spain's admission to the European Union in 1985 the year had a positive impact on the development of the economy and led to an increase in the number of gambling establishments. The gambling industry is becoming a significant source of state income and brings about 3% profits from the country's GDP. The legislation provides for the taxation of income like casinos and sweepstakes, and their visitors, whose winnings exceed 2500 €.

Law 85/2013 from 23/10/2013, gambling regulator, established, that losing a casino is equivalent to a failed investment, and profit is considered income, requiring payment of duties.

How to play

Lottery tickets of the game "El Gordo de Navidad" are not like tickets of other world lotteries. Instead of buying a single ticket, El Gordo de Navidad lottery participants can purchase as full tickets (isp. Ticket), and a tenth of the ticket (isp. Tenth). Similar to the Ruffle draw, participants buy pre-printed tickets, and each number can be purchased before 180 time, hence the name "Series", signifying, that many tickets with the same game numbers will be printed.

Distribution of prizes

Prize categories in each ticket:

El Gordo main prize	1	4 000 000€
Second prize	1	1 250 000€
Third prize	1	500 000€
Fourth prize	2	200 000€
Fifth Prize	8	60 000€

* The number of prizes is calculated by multiplying the number of winning combinations by the number of tickets in the series. for instance, 180 x 4 000 000€ if the number of tickets in the series is 180.

† As this number of prizes is shown on one ticket, then the prize amount is divided by the number of players, who bought a share of the ticket. for instance, if each of 10 players have 1 share of the ticket, then in case of victory, everyone will receive 1/10 of the ticket prize amount.

The table above shows only the first five prize categories, however full list (isp. Pedrea), including 100 prizes, will be presented on the day of the draw.

El Gordo de Navidad circulations often contain additional "variations", giving participants a chance to win additional prizes. So, in the draw for 2012 year there was a special prize for all ticket holders ending in a number 8.

Playing the game

There are two main schemes, on which the draws of the Spanish lottery game are held: traditional and plural. Let's consider each of them separately..

The traditional scheme of the game

This system assumes the presence of two lottery drums. The first lottery drum contains balls with ticket numbers, who have a chance to be victorious in a particular game. The second lottery drum contains balls with numbers, under which certain winnings are hidden.

The list of prizes is written on a special board. It is installed on the stage even before the draw starts..

Children are most often invited as presenters. They take the balls one by one from both lottery drums.. First, they get the ball from the 2nd lottery drum, to determine, for which prize will be the further struggle. Next is retrieved 5 balls from the 1st lottery drum.

It is from the five numbers of the first lottery drum that the serial number of the ticket is made, the owner of which becomes the owner of the claimed prize. Numbers line up from left to right, starting with the first ball drawn.

Multiple game scheme

This circulation system has been used since 1962 of the year. The Spanish lottery periodically practices its application.

What is the main difference between these two drawing schemes?

The main difference is the number of lottery drums. The traditional scheme assumes the presence of two lottery drums, and plural - five. Each of the five lottery drums has nine barrels, which contain numbers from 0 to 9. The serial number of the prize ticket is formed from the barrels of the lottery drums, taken one by one. The order of extraction of numbers is mandatory - they start with the first lottery drum and end with the fifth.

Winning tickets are determined the same way, as in the traditional drawing scheme.

Fat jackpot

Four million wins the whole ticket, состоящий из десяти тех самых купонов. Respectively, каждая выигрышная «десятина» получает по 400 thousand euros. При этом номер выигрывает во всех 170 сериях, то есть обладателями приза в 400 тысяч могут стать 1700 человек по стране. Due to the fact that tickets are often bought collectively, luck often falls together: whole families win, companies, bars, even in small villages. Кто-то бежит отмечать это в киоск, where did you get the ticket, но большинство предпочитает не распространяться — мало ли что.

Sure, for 200 лет существования лотереи реальная ценность выигрыша сильно изменилась. В начале XX века на «жирный куш» можно было купить целое здание. Предел мечтаний нынешних счастливцев — погасить ипотеку, buy a car, distribute debts. К тому же в 2013 году государство впервые за годы существования лотереи ввело налог в размере 20% to win, превышающий 2500 euros. В 2018-м, true, барьер повысили до 10 000 euros. Meanwhile, the number of players is only growing..

Из года в год с июля по декабрь испанцы всей страной сначала охотятся за билетами и «кусочками» билетов рождественского розыгрыша, потом с увлажненными глазами слушают, how lottery kids sing the winnings to someone else's number. Sigh, говорят очередное «ну ничего, на будущий год точно повезет» и идут дальше с просветленными лицами, потому что началось Рождество и кого-то настигла удача. Шанс поймать ее невелик, но на всякий случай знайте: чаще всего в испанской рождественской лотерее выигрывали номера, заканчивающиеся на 5, — аж 31 time!

Other distribution

The distribution of the prize fund in the New Year's drawing of the "Russian Lotto" lottery really turned out to be unique, no joke - for winnings in the amount 1 and 2 ruble (101 and 102) spent a billion (1 068 631 230) rubles! Nearly half of the prize pool was smashed to dust! Why do we need such small wins? There are three reasons, they are all good for the organizer, but not for players:

• большую часть таких призов участники поменяют на билеты следующих тиражей
• organizer can speak, that he has millions of winners (winners, true, in total 100 rubles)
• This distribution made it possible to assert, that every second ticket will be winning

Meanwhile, everyone who wants to play the lottery should be advised how to avoid draws, where they promise, that every second ticket will win. Because the prize money is not taken from the organizer's pocket or out of thin air, он собирается со ставок игроков. Именно поэтому обещание приза в каждом втором билете с высокой вероятностью позволит участнику лотереи лишь вернуть стоимость одного билета из 2-3 purchased. Get 100 rubles from 200-300 spent. What is the meaning of such a lottery?

Moreover, a large number of small prizes significantly reduces the chances of a bigger win! Для понимания — в новогоднем тираже лишь один билет (of 42,5 million tickets) won the jackpot - that is, the probability of this winning was 1 chance out 42,5 million! The same applies to winnings by 1 million rubles, all of them turned out to be 40, and this means that the chance to receive such a prize was 1 out of a million. Not too impressive, true?

Meanwhile, в обычном розыгрыше (when no one plans to leave 2 barrel) шансы на крупный выигрыш более интересны. For example, you can take the following circulation, № 1213. Of 4 million tickets (4 196 813) this time it was 19 winnings by 1 a million. I.e, in this case, chance was 1 of 220 885 (its useful to note, that this is not a statistical probability of winning, namely, the ratio of the number of large prizes to the number of tickets sold in a single draw)

Was it possible to distribute the prize fund differently? Sure! As an option, could not have won the last two kegs (101 and 102 ruble), and allocate the released billion to 1000 (thousand!) winnings by 1 a million. Just imagine - a thousand people could get a million! Это был бы мощный пиар — почти в каждом крупном городе оказался бы человек (or even a few) выигравший крупную сумму. Это уже стоило бы отпраздновать!

And in conclusion
