Words like 1lambre,?copa,?lira,??umbrella,??table,???hopper, and??trumpet are again the main characters. Millions listen to timeless words thanks to the Christmas Lottery. The Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) has incorporated these words with new meanings into the updated dictionary of Spanish language.
These words all have the lotero meaning, which can be found in an academic dictionary. Additionally, terms like ‘chapel” and ‘postero/ra, which are linked to the National Lottery for over two centuries, have their own place in the Dictionary of the Spanish language.
The dictionary contains approximately 1,500 words about the game, and 70 words that have a mark specific to the Lottery. The word everyone wants to use on December 22nd is Gordo. This is the name of the first prize in the Extraordinary draw of 2020 Christmas Lottery 2020. It distributes four million Euros per series (400,000 euros for the tenth).
These meanings indicate whether the word is used in lotteries in “some countries”, or in Spanish lottery. The ‘chapel’ is a final model of a 10th in which a draw numbers has not yet been printed. However, the table’ is an exhibitor in which the winning numbers and the prizes are displayed. The only article addition was that of “postero” or “postera”, which refers the “person in charge of a lottery stand.”
There are many other words in our vocabulary that can be used to refer to lottery terms. These include ’tenth’ which is the tenth of a ticket and costs 20 euros. ‘Participation’ is when the tenths of a ticket are divided into shares. ‘Pedrea’ is the minor prize of the Christmas Lottery but is also the most popular. They consist of 1,000 Euros distributed among the 10 tenths. A common word is “reimbursement”, which means that winners are reimbursed for what they played, provided their tickets have the same ending as the Gordo.
