In just under two weeks, Spain will come to a complete stand still for the draw of the El Gordo Christmas lottery, which will be called in Euros for the first time. The draw takes place on the morning of December 22 and by then, per capita in the Balearics, an average of 51 euros will have been spent on Christmas lottery tickets. However, the Balearics are not the biggest Christmas lottery gamblers. Spaniards are expected to spend £1.4 billion on tickets for the nation's 190th Christmas lottery, the world's biggest single gambling event and this year El Gordo could even become the richest lottery ever with everyone in Spain tempted by the prospect of winning a share of tax-free prizes totalling £980 million.
