Christmas lottery: what is the deadline to buy tenths?

There are only a few hours left until the Christmas Lottery Draw begins and there are many who are still thinking about getting an extra tenth to try to win the Gordo. Like many other things at Christmas, the tradition of many participants in this draw is to buy the lottery on the last day. There are also many absent-minded people who, as in the State Lottery and Betting announcement this Christmas, forget to buy their shares and arrive at December 21 with the task pending. If this is your case, you should know that there is a deadline to buy from the administrations.

This Friday, December 22, the drums will begin to spin to distribute prizes. It will be at 9 in the morning when the draw begins, which can be followed live on La Información and on television on TVE. This year, State Lotteries and Betting have issued a total of 185 series, five more than in 2022, with 100,000 numbers each.
