I'm caught up here with Christmas lottery fever and came across a couple of links that may be of interest to everyone out there who has participated in the pool.
My wife, daughter and I got up at 9:30 this morning and have been listening to the numbers as the children from San Ildefonso call them out. They've already called out 'the gordo' on the fourth slate of prizes.
Here's a link if you want to check and see if one of your numbers won:
I'm going to beat jer to the punch and inform you all that 2 of your lottery pool tickets won �200 euro prizes each!! The winning tickets were 09683 & 45393!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU! I wanted to be the first to congratulate you all !
That will teach me to buy my tickets on my own!!
Oh well, I'm thrilled for the multimadrid pool! That's phenomenal!!!
:cheers: and enjoy your winnings!

400 euros divided by ?= ? Congratulations to us! Now then, will our new wealth be deposited in our PayPal accounts or what? I think I stashed a fair amount of cash in there for the holidays, then did not shop as much online as I thought. Not even sure how to get at my account! I suppose I could consider it hidden savings for a rainy day...

Well, there were 16 of us, right? So 400/16 = 25. I don't know how taxes work over there and all that. But it looks like we may at least get our investment back.
I didn't win Powerball last night, but then again neither did anyone else. So on Wednesday the jackpot is somewhere near $300 million. That would be a nice Christmas present!
Well, cheers to us!!! :cheers:

Hey gang, this lotteryu thing in Spain is tough to get down.
I did not want to post this before Xmas so as not to bum you al out but it would seem that we only won 40 Euros and not 400
You see, each number is sold in a series (serie) of 10 tickets and the 200 Euros per number was for the series, not for just one ticket of the 10 in the series which is what we have.
So, we actually won a tenth of the 200 Euro prize on each # which is 20 Euros, hence the deal paid out 2.50 per head of the 16 of us in the pool.
Oh well, as I always say... "algo es algo".
So, it will be inpossible for me to get you all 2.50 Euros since a bank transfer or even a Pay Pal paymetn will suck up more than that in commissions.
I think a good option would be to take the 40 Euros and buy tickets for the Loter�a del Ni�o on the 5th of January, what do you all think?
