El Gordo lottery winners Face Prize Reduction Due to Blunder

Winners of the world’s biggest Christmas lottery will be forced to give up part of their jackpot prize because of a massive blunder.

Held every year in December, the El Gordo lottery is famous for giving out the most cash prizes per ticket purchased – with a total prize of £3billion up for grabs.

On Saturday, Spanish media reported that everyone holding a ticket with the winning number of the main prize will now receive almost their full winnings.
