Spanish public braces itself for yearly Christmas lottery

The world's richest lottery will launch Spain's festive season on Friday, bringing with it a plethora of prize money and good cheer to the whole nation.

Before the Christmas lottery's nationally televised draw, where kids from the San Ildefonso school—a former orphanage—sing out the winning numbers and matching prizes, long lines gathered outside of kiosks.


Decimos, or 20-euro tickets, are widely bought and shared by friends, family, coworkers, and in bars, sports arenas, and social clubs.
