Timesonline: Spanish rush for £2.1 billion 'Fat One' lottery
Encarnacion Ramirez spent half an hour queuing on a freezing morning before she got her chance to buy a ticket for Spain’s biggest lottery, El Gordo (The Fat One).
“I arrived early because they said people have been queuing up for two hours,” said the housewife from Madrid.
As Spain gears up for its traditional bid to win one of the biggest lottery jackpots in the world – with €2.3 billion (£2.1 billion) in prizes - the same scene is being repeated across the country.

Crash G is good enough, but 'El Gordo' may not be bad.

Sadly just because the lottery prize is a 'fat one', it will not improve your odds of winning.

During an economic downturn or crisis, more money is spent on lottery cos people believe that winning would end all their cash problems. It certainly would but it will cost you dear. Better play the horses, your odds are much higher.
