El Nino Results

There is no denying that the Spanish love to play for and win the numerous games of chance on offer at a local level.

While the mega El Gordo de Navidad (‘The Christmas Jackpot’) lottery takes place at Christmas time, shares are already being sold for the next game – the El Nino lottery that draws barely a week later!

What Makes this Raffle Draw so Exciting?

It’s safe to say that all the lottery excitement concerning who will win these draws lasts throughout the festive season and crescendos again around New Years.

The Loteria del Niño offers customers the chance to play for their share of the €770 million prize pool, a first prize jackpot of €200,000, and winning chances that begin at 1:3 for lower tier prizes and can reach a fantastic 1:100,000 in terms of achieving a jackpot win.

More About the El Niño Lottery

In addition to the multitude of games on offer, the El Nino New Year’s Raffle is yet another opportunity for players the world over to stand a chance of winning fabulous jackpot prizes.

The Sorteo Extraordinario de El Niño, or more commonly known as the Spanish New Year Lottery, forms part of the super raffles offered in the Loteria Nacional Extra series.

The name itself, “El Niño”, literally means “the small one”. This is somewhat of a deceptive title, however, especially when one considers the immense prize fund that this raffle boasts.

A Raffle Fit for Kings

There is little doubt that the El Niño lottery can make its winner wonderfully wealthy, with jackpot prizes in the hundreds of millions!

The giant prize fund is not the only bait that lures in international lottery players from around the world, but also the fantastic odds of 1 in 3.

This is thanks to the El Niño principle of sharing the maximum number of prizes between as many players as possible. This makes it one of the most generous (and successful) lotteries in operation today. The El Niño Lottery offers an identical gaming structure to the El Gordo raffle.

A Ticket Drawn Means a Likely Win (How the Game Works)

Players receive a number between 00000 and 99,999 – thus, players have a total of 100,000 numbers to choose from.

All 100,000 numbers are sold ten times across fifty-five books (also known as “series”), with each series being divided into ten shares, or “decimos”.

The El Niño draw takes place every year on the 6th of January, and is held in Madrid, Spain. Players who enter this raffle through Lotto247 should be aware that we only sell decimo shares which means that they are only eligible to win 1/10 of the prize money per tier with a winning share.

The Raffle that was Started to Help Raise Money

There are many players that purchase tickets for this sought-after raffle to bet on the top prize and all the others below it.

While these days, the sale of a lucky ticket can lead to a new house and car for the person who has it, the idea behind this lottery was born on a far more charitable premise.

First thought up by Duchess Maria del Carmen Hernández (the wife of one of the wealthiest industrialists of the time), she sought a way to help children and save them from poor medical care. This raffle was thus created to pay for a children’s hospital in Madrid in 1877.

Although there was already a children’s hospital in the area, it was not able to serve all those that paid it a visit for poor health.

The Duchess decided to create a bigger hospital, known today as ‘Hospital Niño Jesús’ and a lottery dubbed ‘Raffle of the Child’ was created to maintain its funding. This is how the “El Niño” name came to be as ‘Niño’ means child.

Thanks to the lottery, the funding went through and the hospital can still be found fully operational to this day. That’s the real prize!
