The Christmas Extraordinaire Draw Announces a Highlight Jackpot
Every December 22, Spain experiences a traditional event: the Christmas Extraordinaire Draw, which many call the Fat One. This year, the total amount to be distributed exceeds two thousand four hundred million euros, an amount distributed across several categories. The National Lottery organizes this event that maintains a deeply rooted custom. 🎄
Structure of Prizes and Categories
The main prize, known as the Fat One, is assigned to the first number and series drawn from the drum. This prize awards four hundred thousand euros per tenth. In addition, the draw includes other awards such as the second prize, the third, the fourth prizes, and the pebbles. Each type of prize has a defined amount. The system also includes refunds for those tenths whose number ends with the last digit of the Fat One. This wide distribution makes the probability of winning some prize higher than in other draws. 🏆
Key Details of the Top Prize:- Drawn first from the main drum.
- The amount is 400,000 euros per tenth.
- Requires matching the full number and series.
Transparency and randomness of the result are fundamental aspects that the organizers guarantee in every edition.
Traditional Mechanics with Wooden Drums
The heart of the draw consists of two large wooden drums. One drum contains one hundred thousand balls, each with a number between 00000 and 99999. The other drum holds the balls that establish the prize amount corresponding to each number drawn. Children from the San Ildefonso School are in charge of singing the numbers and prizes during a ceremony broadcast on television. This process ensures that the result is completely random. ⚙️

- Drum with prize balls.

Hope Against Statistics
While the television presenters review the statistics of the numbers that have won in past years, millions of people search for their tenth with hope. Mathematics indicates that most will not win a main prize, but the tradition and hope remain intact. Participants purchase their tenths with the expectation that luck will smile on them in a draw that is already part of national culture. 🍀
