"Do you know which lottery has a history of over 200 years? The answer is the Spanish Christmas Lottery! The Spanish Christmas Lottery is a national lottery in Spain, commonly known as 'El Gordo' or 'The Fat One.' Have you heard of it? If not, let me provide you with some information!

According to the winning rules of this Spanish lottery, the jackpot winners can each receive a pre-tax prize of 400,000 euros! The cost of each ticket is 20 euros, equivalent to a little over 100 yuan in Chinese currency. Although the jackpot prize is substantial, the chances of winning are very small, only 0.001%. According to data, approximately 75% of Spaniards buy 'El Gordo' tickets every Christmas Eve. Besides the jackpot, there is also a 13.3% chance of winning, bringing Christmas surprises to many Spaniards. It is said that in 1812, to resist the invasion of Napoleon's army, Spain reinstated the original lottery tradition dating back to the 16th century and used the lottery proceeds for military operations.

It seems that buying 'El Gordo' tickets on Christmas Eve is a tradition for the Spanish people!"

Lottery is different from commodities. It is purely an economic calculation. Whichever lottery has a higher return rate will naturally attract more users to purchase.
