How to Play Summer El Gordo Raffle
El Gordo Special Raffle tickets all have five digit numbers ranging between 00000 and 99999. Each ticket is split into 10 equal shares. These shares are also known as ‘decimos’ in Spanish. Each share is pre-printed with the raffle number on them.
Look on the left of the screen and you’ll see which numbers are still available. You can’t purchase more shares than are available. Now you have various options to play:
- Either pick and buy one share of a raffle ticket number, or
- Pick several shares with one raffle ticket number. This will increase your winnings if that number wins a prize, or
- Purchase shares in different numbers so your probability of winning increases.
It’s easy to pick the amount of shares you want to play by using the (+) and (-) buttons.
If you are a winner, your prize amount will relate to how many shares you have of a raffle ticket number. If your raffle ticket number wins €250 000 and you own 1 share you will get €25 000.
The draw will take place on 01 July 2023.

History of the Summer El Gordo Raffle
The Summer El Gordo Raffle is one of a number of "Sorteo Extraordinario" or extraordinary raffle draws held by the official Spanish National Lottery operator. These are special, higher-value raffles that are held to commemorate or celebrate special days in the Spanish calendar. The Summer El Gordo Raffle celebrates the welcome return of summer to Spain.
Rules of the Summer El Gordo Raffle
The Summer El Gordo Raffle is a popular lottery game because of the high number of tickets or shares available. This is possible because all numbers — between 00000 and 99999 — are repeated in 10 series. These numbers with series references are printed on the Summer El Gordo Raffle tickets. Now each ticket is divided into tenths or ‘decimos’. These are the ‘decimos’ (shares) you can purchase.
If your number matches a drawn raffle ticket number you share the drawn prize amount with the other buyers of tickets or shares. If your number, series and decimo matches the "Premio Especial" exactly then you win the Special Prize, which in this draw is €19,800,000.
