Spanish Lottery Worth 2.5 Billion Euros

(Madrid, Spain) Lotto fever has hit Spain as the annual Christmas lottery hits a new high.

El Gordo!, known as the Big One in English, is worth 2.5 billion euros.

In American money that’s about $3 billion.

The chances of one person winning the big prize is slim.
