Millions of people in our country dream of winning the lottery. Although the chances of winning a jackpot are low, this does not stop Spaniards from participating in the Extraordinary Christmas Lottery Draw, one of the most popular.

The long-awaited Christmas draw will take place next Friday, December 22, so hundreds of people have already taken to the streets to buy tickets to win El Gordo. However, many do not know what should never be done with a Christmas tenth. We’ll tell you then.

The National Police has published a video on its profile with the aim of advising the population. Once we buy a Christmas Lottery ticket, the best option is to keep it in a safe place, writing down the number and series in case it is lost.

Likewise, special care must be taken if we share the ticket with other people: “If you share it with someone, do not forget about it, sign it and keep a photocopy,” says the Police.

In case we lose the ticket or it is stolen, the best option is not to panic and go to the Police to file a report. Of course, it is essential to have a photograph of the tenth.

Finally, the Police offer advice if you win: “Be discreet and do not wait until the last minute to collect it, since it expires after three months.”
