With interest, the term Sorteo originates from the Catalan word Sort which translates as Lot, the word sort now turns up in many languages through the drawing of lots / lottery theme. Infect, there is a town in Spain named Sort, which I am made to believe has enjoyed many El Gordo victors over the years, how lucky is that?

None more so than the Xmas time draw which often tops Euro 2.4 billions, which when you spend a quick moment to contemplate, is absolutely mind blowing.
