El Gordo

After 12 years of buying tickets for the special Christmas lottery drawing, most commonly known as "El Gordo" (the fat one), I finally won more than just my money back: 50 euros on a 10-euro ticket. I only bought half a décimo, which is one tenth of a number, should have bought the whole thing! Lovely number, 02335. I put it down to the luck of the Irish, as I shared my ticket with Séamus, of the green persuasion. I even did the obligatory rubbing the ticket on a bald man's head, or at least second best, a man's bald spot!

So, what did you win? 50 bucks? 5 bucks? 5,000 bucks? I'm confused.

I got 50 euros. A full number wins 1000 euros, so a décimo gets 100 euros. Aye and verily, 'til confusing. It's even more confusing with the regular lottery, which has series and some other crazy shit.

I am so jealous! Who do you think you are, BTW?

So how come 43 isn't doing better than he is if rubbing bald heads is so darn lucky?

Yeah we won!! Although it is a good job I read your blog cos when I checked the number still wasn't showing as a prize number so I have been sitting here in Blighty not realising that I am 100€ better off!
