In 2022, according to data from State Lotteries and Betting, the extraordinary Christmas draw generated a turnover of 3.18 billion euros. An average of 67 euros per person that hides all kinds of stories: of money earned, of money lost, of tenths shared between friends and family and, sometimes also of deceptions that end in jail. “The luck of having us”, motto of the draw for this year, has often become the misfortune of having secretly collected a winning ticket that, in reality, was shared by very close relatives and even condemnations of those who have tried to keep a ticket. lost.
The Supreme Court has analyzed several cases of raffles that started very well and ended in disaster. For example, that of two friends who, in December 2013, won a prize in a slot machine at a gas station in the Tenerife municipality of San Isidro, and with the money and euphoria decided to buy a half-share, as revealed in the trial, to see if the luck of the machine would carry over to the Christmas draw that was held the next day. The number they bought had a prize: 125,000 euros. But the person in charge of guarding the ticket decided to keep it all for himself.
