Anybody win Gordo then.
So anybody strike it very rich then.
Unfortunately my grandmother spent 300 euros on tickets and didn`t grap a euro back, and she bought all over Spain.
Same with the mother in law spent a couple of hundred and not a cent back.
Even the ticket we went thirds on with my sis in law didn`t give a reason to cheer.
I never realised either that when Spaniards buy lottery tickets with another person even members of the same family, they do little contracts notifying how much they spend and how much there entitled too if they win.
You can even buy books, similar to receipt books, just for lottery contracts.
Spaniards don`t trust there families.

Re: Anybody win Gordo then.
We bought two décimos and did not win a cent.
However the good news is that we were given a free ticket by a local shop owner a few weeks ago that contained the last two numbers of the biggest prize number.
The bad news is the free ticket was only for a €0.12 share.
Total winnings = €0.72
Don't think I will be rushing round to the lotto office

Didn't win either, or last year, but I did at least get my money back on el Niño early in the year.

Re: Anybody win Gordo then.
What is the Gordo? But today I collected the hamper I won in a raffle held by a local bar. Contains 5 bottles of wine, bottles of brandy, whiskey, rum and gin. Two bottles of sparkling wine also. Trouble is I do not drink! Mind you the OH is going to enjoy the chocolates, sweets etc.
