Buy Your Mega Millions and El Gordo de Navidad Tickets Now

Christmas is nearly here and this weekend would be a great time to win a big lottery prize. Friday’s Mega Millions draw has a $825 million jackpot. Then on Sunday, it’s the El Gordo de Navidad with an amazing €2.702 billion prize fund.

No jackpot win since September

Let’s look at the stateside draw first. There hasn’t been a Mega Millions jackpot win since September. In fact, the top prize in the Mega Millions draw has only been won three times this year. The least number of jackpot wins in a calendar year is five.

Only twice since 2013 has this draw produced a jackpot win in the final month of the year. The most recent was last year when  two tickets shared a controversial $395 million Mega Millions top prize.

Tuesday’s draw produced a rollover. That wasn’t surprising as the lowest main ball drawn was 56 with four numbers in the 60s. The lowest main ball seen in the last two draws has been 36.

A draw like no other

The clock is counting down to the El Gordo de Navidad draw in Spain on Sunday December 22. With its massive prize fund of €2.702 billion prize fund.

This is the traditional Christmas lottery and the festive season wouldn’t be the same without it. It’s a draw that is played by players all around the globe, not just Spain. Tickets have been on sale for months with players hoping they can get a win in this historic lottery.

This isn’t your usual lottery draw. Tickets are sold in series of tens and players buy tenths. The top prize is €4 million, so owning a jackpot winning tenth will see you win €400,000. There are plenty of other prize-winning tiers  with prizes beginning at €20 and no rollovers.

The actual El Gordo de Navidad draw takes around three hours to complete. The wooden balls are stored in golden spherical cages and the numbers drawn (and the amounts they’ve won) are sung by children who go to the San Ildefonso school in Madrid. Will you be a winner?
