Results of Spain's Christmas Lottery
Every year millions of Spanish citizens eagerly await the draw for the traditional Christmas lottery which takes place on 22nd December but perhaps this year with the economic slump worsening it was more significant than ever for many. According to a survey of 500 people carried out by the Confederation of Consumers and Users (CECU) for Madrid the economic crisis has not affected spending on the traditional Lotería de Navidad in Spain. The average amount that people from Madrid will spend on lottery tickets this year is estimated to be around 160 euros per person. This amount has only gone down by 55 cents compared to last year. In contrasts with other Christmas expenses for which spending is estimated to have dropped by 6% it appears that no price can be placed on luck.
