Spain’s 200-year-old holiday lottery "The Fat One" delivered a hefty prize again this year, with over $2.8 billion in prizes warbled out by school children and watched live around the world. The annual drawing for "El Gordo" took place on Sunday at Teatro Real, the country's preeminent opera house in the capital Madrid. El Gordo is held annually on Dec. 22, and is a key part of the Christmas season in Spain offering one of the largest lottery prize pools in the world.
