The Lotería Nacional is the second-longest continuously running lottery in the world. During the Spanish Civil War, the lottery draw was moved to Valencia after the Republicans were forced out of Madrid. The first lottery to use the Sorteo de Navidad name was held in 1892.

The draw is often referred to as El Gordo, although this name is also used for other large lottery draws in the country.

The Christmas draw is based on tickets with 5-digit numbers ranging from 00000 to 99999. This method only produces 100,000 unique numbers but each ticket number is printed multiple times, in several series. Therefore, each ticket also has a series number. This means that more than 100,000 tickets can be sold each year.
