The Spanish Christmas Lottery operates in a different way to the majority of other lottery games. Matka A whole ticket ‘billete’ is very pricey, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are divided up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros each. When buying your tickets you have the option of buying a single decimo, a whole ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you do not purchase the complete ticket, somebody else will buy the rest of your ticket. For example, if you obtain two decimos, somebody else buys three and another buys five and your ticket scoops 1000 Euros, then you will secure 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Due to the price tag of purchasing a whole ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to amalgamate their lottery money and each person purchase a single ‘decimo’ (tenth).
