El Gordo: Biggest Lottery Prize Pool in the World

When you're dealing with figures as big as 2.3 Billion, it can be a little difficult to get your head around the concept. A decent-sized football stadium holds 50,000 people, for example, but you'd need to try and visualise around 46,000 stadiums worth of people to get all the way up to 2.3 billion. With that in mind, we have created this little video for you, which comes up with some very novel ways to think about this gigantic sum of money!:

The great thing about the Spanish Christmas Lottery is that the enormous prize pool is shared out with as many people as possible. There are over 14,000 prizes to be won, meaning that you've got odds of just 7 to 1 of getting a win: pretty incredible odds when it comes to lottery pay-outs! The top jackpot prize on offer - El Gordo - amounts to €4 million (£3.56 M) but there are thousands of other prizes to be won as well.
