The El Gordo Christmas draw has an undisputed leader among the winning numbers: the reintegro 5. This year, the statistics once again arouse the interest of millions of players, as the number 5 is crowned, once again, as the most graced in the history of El Gordo, having come out a total of 32 times in the first prize.
Why is 5 still the favorite?
Since this iconic draw began in 1812, the 5 has not only led the statistics, but has also captivated the superstitious, who consider it a lucky magnet. It is closely followed by numbers 4 and 6, which have appeared 27 times each. However, fortune does not smile equally on everyone: number 1, with just eight appearances, takes the title of the least lucky number in the draw.
Curiosities that surprise
The historical analysis of the draw reveals surprising data. For example, there are endings such as 85 and 57 that have been winners on several occasions, while others, such as 09, 25 or 78, have never touched El Gordo. In addition, it is remarkable that on four occasions the winning number ended with repeated numbers, such as 55,666 or 25,444, breaking the apparent randomness of chance.
The mystery behind the numbers
Although luck follows no rules, the statistics arouse both interest and hope. This year, players face a crucial decision: bet on historically lucky endings or defy the odds with less common numbers.
