The day of the lottery marks the start of the holidays, it is the first day of the Christmas break, the morning after the end of exams party. People spend the year buying tickets for the lottery, they buy a ticket with everyone they care about in different parts of the country… you buy a ticket with your parents, a ticket with your wife’s family, a ticket with your husband’s family, a ticket with your cousins, a ticket with your co-workers, a ticket with your swimming team friends… you buy a ticket in your mom’s hometown and in that other place you visited with your girlfriend during the Easter break… and then you get 12.37 euros without taxes after you spent 25. But it doesn’t matter, because as the motto of the holiday goes el mayor premio es compartirlo meaning “the biggest reward is sharing it”—and you bet you share it, the 12.37 euros with your dozen friends from the swimming team.\
