Gordo Primitiva

Lottery Articles Index

The calming and exciting Spanish Summer from the unbearable heat of Alicante to the cooler breezier north of Asturias creates a romantic and colourful background to one of the greatest lottery branded shows in the world, gordo primitiva. The spectacle of this attraction acts as a special and fundamental forerunner for the main monthly gordo primitiva selection draws. The series and progression of gordo primitiva depicts it self through amazing cash prize funds and themed lottery draws such as el gordo de navidad, sorteo extraordinario and of course that post Christmas favourite El Niño.

Just a couple of words about El Niño as it are centric to the gordo primitiva run of lotteries. The capability of the country to provide an amazing cash prize fund after one of the largest lotteries in the world just one month before is incredible.

This is for 3 main reasons:

1. Gordo Primitiva is a huge and recognised lottery brand
2. El gordo from a culture view point is engrained and part of the Spanish social fabric
3. Xmas is an expensive time anyway, yet El Nino still allows for the volume and excitement of a national and internationally famous lottery.

Therefore, gordo primitiva deserves the respect, dignity and status it holds among the Spanish Lottery genre, not of course withstanding the stature it holds among other great European lottery structures such as the Euromillions, UK National lottery and the Italian Superenalotto.

Therefore, from the playing and lottery gaming public perspective the gordo primitiva actually offers fantastic value as each main ticket or billet can be divided in to decimos or one tenths. This entices groups of people to purchase tickets between them. The massive gordo primitiva draw culminates in the month of December and will definitely create many, many millionaires.

It gives the world the opportunity to await a fantastic and marvellous event, televised internationally, and promotes the Spanish Lottery culture. So as you can see, being involved in the whole psyche and event is very important and just demonstrates how closely these are taken together by the Spanish people. Often these types of happenings and events are taken for granted and not really understood as to their latent importance, which when examined closely is quite remarkable.

The Spanish people must be congratulated and given the merited respect when it comes to the lottery spectacle. I have often said that we should be listening and watching more inherently as we as a nation can learn as well.
