El Gordo
5 numbers from 1 to 54, plus 1 Numero clave from a separate 0–9 draw. Drawn Sundays at 21:20 Madrid time.
How El Gordo works
A line is 5 numbers from 1 to 54, plus 1 Numero clave from a separate 0–9 draw. To win the jackpot you need every one of them, which happens about 1 in 31,625,100 for a single entry. That figure comes from the matrix itself — the number of ways 5 balls can be chosen from 54 — and not from anywhere else.
Nothing about a previous draw changes the next one. The balls have no memory, the machine is checked before every draw, and a number that has not appeared for a year is exactly as likely as one that came up on Saturday.
