Spain's New Year's tradition is back with the 2025 El Niño raffle, offering another chance for hopeful participants to claim a share of a massive €770 million prize pool on January 6. Known as one of the world’s largest raffles, El Niño has been creating winners across Spain and beyond for more than half a century. This event remains a highlight for players worldwide who dream of starting the year with a life-changing prize.
Unlike many lotteries, El Niño offers players remarkable odds and an exciting ticket format. With a winning chance as high as 1-in-3, the raffle guarantees that many players will walk away with a prize. Here’s what sets El Niño apart:
Rather than selecting numbers, players purchase shares of tickets, each with a preset number. A full ticket is divided into ten shares, and players can choose to buy a single share or an entire ticket to take home all potential winnings.
Thanks to platforms like Giant Lottos, people from around the world can now take part in this Spanish tradition. Nearly 60% of Spanish adults buy El Niño shares annually, and now international participants can join them with just a few clicks.
Whether you’re buying one share or all ten, don’t miss the chance to be part of this Spanish tradition. With limited shares, tickets are likely to sell out before the January 6 draw, so grab yours early for a shot at a New Year’s windfall!
