The Christmas season in Spain begins with the drawing of the numbers for the world's biggest lottery 1, El Gordo. This year, El Gordo (or "The Fat One") paid out more than €2 billion to lucky ticket holders 2 across Spain, with €18 million going to Rebollo de Duero, a small town in Spain's least populated province. A single ticket costs €200, and most people buy a one-tenth "décimo" share of that. Those who bought a single décimo for the winning number won €300,000; and each of Rebollo de Duero's 31 residents had at least one of the 60 décimos sold in that town.
