El Gordo Result

This might not be the initial name one mentions when asked about big lotteries, but it will be the first one anyone in Spain thinks of. This is the world's largest lottery in terms of the total prize money paid out. El Gordo means 'the fat one.' This began as a nickname for the first (biggest) prize but later became a reference for the entire lottery.
