During the months of November and December, Sort becomes one of the most visited towns in Spain. Mountain tourism and adventure sports, including skiing in Port Aine and Espot, are among its main attractions.
But coming to Sort also means winning a Christmas lottery ticket from Lleida's most famous lottery office, "The Golden Witch." If you're staying at Hotel Les Brases***, you should know that you'll find it just a few meters away.
Come to Sort and take home your Christmas lottery ticket from The Golden Witch.
La Bruja de Oro is one of the lottery companies that sells the most online. However, despite the fact that it's much faster and more direct to buy tickets online, many people decide to follow the tradition and visit Sort to buy their Christmas Lottery ticket.
Some claim that, to win the winning ticket, it brings good luck to walk into the lottery office and rub the purchased ticket against the famous image of the golden witch that you will find in the establishment.
An experience you can only have if you come to Sort!
And the data speaks for itself. According to statistics, the probability of this administration winning the Special Christmas Lottery held every December 22nd is quite high.
What are the chances of winning the Christmas Gordo?
Probability theory and countless mathematicians from around the world have demonstrated the difficulty of winning the Gordo (Big One) in the Christmas lottery. This fact is difficult to define, not only because many factors come into play, but also because someone who buys one ticket doesn't have the same chances as someone who buys 10 or 100. It's a topic that comes up for public debate every year...
However, you should know that if you decide to come to Sort and buy the Christmas Lottery, you'll be one step closer. The same data suggests that those Lottery Offices with the most numbers sold are the ones most likely to award prizes.
Among them is The Golden Witch.
The more tickets you buy, the greater your chances. This means that buying your ticket here can increase your chances of becoming a millionaire (despite the difficulty). That's why La Bruja de Oro has already distributed more than €3.207 billion in prizes.
The Golden Witch distributed her first El Gordo de Navidad prize in 2003, repeating the following year with the grand prize of the Christmas Lottery, and playing in the Sort again in 2007 and 2017.
In 2018, Sort's most famous administration awarded the fifth prize, as well as parts of the second, third, and fifth in 2019.
