Spain's Christmas lottery draw came to a late climax on Friday as El Gordo, the top prize, was drawn at around 1.15pm, more than four hours into the annual event. The jackpot goes to the number 88008, which is now worth 400,000 euros for each 'décimo' ticket.

The bulk of the Gordo-winning tickets were sold in Madrid; while more series of tickets were sold in Jaén, Écija (Seville) and Vilamarxant (Valencia). Locally, lottery offices in Malaga, Ronda and Benalmádena also sold tickets with a share of the top prize.

Fifth prizes

The earliest of the big prizes to come out of the drum in Spain's Christmas lottery was one of the eight fifth prizes, each worth 60,000 euros a 'billete', that is, 6,000 euros for each 20-euro 'décimo' ticket. The number 54274 came out of the drum at 9.38am, just over half an hour into the draw which is expected to go on for at least four hours. The children 'singing' this first important prize were Natalia Rodríguez and Francisco Moreno. All the tickets of this number were sold by official lottery offices in the city of Teruel.

The second fifth prize, 45353, came out of the drum just a few minutes later, at 9.53am, sung by the same children. This number was sold from offices in more than 30 provinces around the country, including Malaga, Torremolinos and Arroyo de la Miel.

Soon after the next two singers from Madrid's San Ildefonso school, Yesica Paola Valencia and Ainhoa Rosero, took to the stage, third fifth prize, 88979, was drawn. This prize money was also shared around the country, with 66,000 euros going to tickets sold in Malaga, Ronda, San Pedro de Alcántara and Fuengirola.

A large part of the fourth fifth prize, 92023, was sold in Girona and the fifth of the eight fifth prizes, 01568, was also spread around the country, the list of offices that sold the number being ten pages long, according to the official lottery company. The sixth fifth prize is 86007, the seventh 57421 and the eighth 37038.

Fourth prize

After a string of fifth prizes, one of the two fourth prizes, each worth 200,000 euros a 'billete', that is, 20,000 a 20-euro décimo, came out of the drum at 11.15am, number 93361. The second fourth prize goes to number 41147.

Third prize

It was at around 12 noon that the third prize was drawn out of the iconic drums in the Madrid theatre. A prize of 500,000 euros goes to each 'billete' of the number 31938, that is, 50,000 euros for each 20-euro 'décimo'. This number was sold entirely by one lottery office in Biar, Alicante.

Second prize

With still no sign of the Gordo jackpot, at around 1pm the children drew the second prize out of the drum. 'Décimo' tickets with the number 58303 are now worth 125,000 euros.
