MADRID: A town called "Luck" has lived up to its name by turning up the winning ticket in Spain's Christmas lottery, one of the world's biggest prizes known as El Gordo (The Fat One).
The ticket which scooped a prize of 390 million euros was sold at a lottery office called The Golden Witch (La Bruixa D'Or) in the town of Sort, which in the Catalan language means "luck".
Each ticket can be divided into a maximum of 1950 segments, although those can then be shared again in cartels in which whole villages may take part.
Sort also sold one of the prize-winning numbers in last year's Christmas draw.
