西班牙开出世界最大乐透

The Christmas season in Spain begins with the drawing of the numbers for the world's biggest lottery¹, El Gordo. This year, El Gordo (or "The Fat One") paid out more than €2 billion to lucky ticket holders² 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.
