The Spanish Christmas Lottery, known as El Gordo, is held every 22 December and is famous for its long draw in which children from Madrid's San Ildefonso school sing out the winning numbers and prizes. In 2016, number 66513 won the top El Gordo prize, worth four million euros per series, and the announcement became a familiar festive sound across Spain. Short clips of the chant are now reused online whenever creators want an instant Christmas, lottery or big-win cue, keeping a long-running national tradition alive in memes, videos and holiday edits.

The El Gordo winning number announcement from the 2016 Spanish Christmas Lottery draw. Creators use it for festive lottery wins, giveaways and jackpot moments.
The clip captures the moment the winning El Gordo number is announced during the Spanish Christmas Lottery draw, delivered in the draw's distinctive sing-song chant rather than a normal spoken announcement. The young voices rise and fall in a rhythmic, almost musical pattern, making the number itself feel like a celebration before its meaning even registers. That bright, excited delivery gives the short audio an instantly festive and triumphant feeling, as if good news has just landed. Listeners recognise the cadence immediately, even without understanding Spanish, because the chant carries the tension and release of a prize being revealed.
