Spain kicked off the festive period Thursday with the celebration of one of its most iconic events, the bumper Christmas lottery that is the world's richest for the total prize money involved.

The most sought-after prize shells out 400,000 euros , or some 325,000 euros after tax, to holders of winning 20-euro tickets, known as décimos. Purchasing and sharing 20-euro tickets, especially in the run-up to Christmas, is a major tradition among families, friends, co-workers and in bars and sports and social clubs.
