MADRID, Spain — Winners of Spain’s Christmas lottery celebrated Saturday by drinking toasts and singing songs after thousands took a share of the $3.1 billion in prizes.
Up to 1,850 tickets carry the winning number — 06381 — with each holder receiving $430,000.
Spaniards were glued to the radio and television as the prize numbers were called out in an event considered the start of the Christmas season. An estimated three out of every four Spaniards and thousands of foreigners buy tickets in a tradition that stretches back to 1812.
