London, Dec 18 (ANI): Here’s one of the most popular ticket numbers in Spain’s Christmas lottery - 25609, the day King of Pop Michael Jackson died.
Dubbed ‘El Gordo’, the lottery has been billed the world’s richest by experts, reports the Telegraph.
According to a statement from Ventura24.es, a website for lottery ticket sales, the ticket, corresponding to June 25, 2009, “is one of the most requested” this year.
The statement said that the combination 66666 “charged with superstitious and demoniac symbolism” is also a very popular choice, as it has been in past years.
El Gordo - The Fat One - is a national institution, with millions glued to their television screens on December 22, watching the old-fashioned ritual of schoolchildren chanting in Gregorian-style the numbers and prize amounts.
As per national statistics, 80 per cent of Spaniards play El Gordo, using half their annual lottery spending on the festive draw. (ANI)
