Most players buy their El Niño and the Christmas El Gordo lottery tickets in tenths, or décimos, which cost €20 each, since a full ticket is €200 – but even first-prize winners who bought a décimo will probably be able to pay off their mortgages with cash to spare, as they will now pick up a cheque for €200,000.
Second prize went to ticket number 18442 and third prize to 23282.
Those who picked up the second-placed ticket are spread far and wide across the country, in Andalucía, Madrid, Valencia, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia, Aragón, Navarra, the Basque Country, Extremadura, Asturias, Castilla y León, Catalunya, and the Canary Islands, and a full ticket is worth €750,000, or a décimo wins €75,000.
The third-prize tickets were, again, sold from just one shop – this time at number 1 of the C/ Alfarería in Yecla (Murcia).
Holders of a full ticket won a quarter of a million euros, and those with a décimo will take home €25,000.
El Niño is one of Spain's two most famous annual lotteries – along with El Gordo, just before Christmas – and is drawn on January 6, a national holiday for the celebration of the 'Three Kings'.
