No matey, I wasn't lucky at all! Well, there are many stories from the 'Gordo' this year. For example, this girl in Galicia, she won the Gordo with a ticket sold in the bar where she works at as a waitress. She and other 50 people who had won 300000 euros each were celebrating, free drinks for everyone, people coming and going in the bar, and when she went to her locker to get her ticket IT HAD DISAPPEARED! Somebody took it, allegedly her boss, who hadn't bought any ticket! So now she is back to nothing. However, in January, when the thief tries to get his money, the ticket office will not let him!! If your friend hasn't won any money, she can still try in the 'El Niño' draw, on 5th January, for the Three Kings Night. This is also a very popular draw in Spain! Rocio Hola!

It is a pity for her but good for us. She would probably left work if she had won enough money and I would have missed her a lot. Were you any luckier?

I have never heard that before. But it does make a certain amount of sense if you believe in cosmic equality. One of my colleagues bought a ticket for 20 euros yesterday ( but I do not know where). I will ask her if I can buy a part of the ticket. I am after all not that greedy. I will be happy if I winn only a part of the money :). So if you got broken into you are supposed to be luckier?

Yes, I play Christmas Lottery thanks to my mum because she always buys 'decimos' for everyone! It is also quite normal that someone gives you the lottery as a present. I have not had any luck yet, I am afraid! But you should definitely try! If you are in Barcelona, now is the best chance to go to 'El Gato Negro', the famous lottery office in Calle Pelai. Yesterday, some burglars broke into the lottery office and took 100,000 euros in cash! This money is what they had earned in the last week selling lottery tickets! People are saying that because of this misfortune, tickets sold there are now luckier than ever... So don't miss the chance! Merry Christmas, and good luck! Rocio Hi Elisa!

I am usually quite good with lucky things like tombolas, winning small prices etc. but I haven never managed to winn anything big. Maybe I should just try it and buy one participacion, otherwise I might miss a chance. Have you ever tried it?
