MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Tickets bought in a town called "Luck" have shared the top prize in Spain's El Gordo Christmas lottery -- netting a total of 390 million euros ($522m).

The winning coupon number -- known as El Gordo, or the Fat One -- was 54600 and was picked from the golden drums by school children who sang it out in a time-honored cadence.

El Gordo with its pot of 1.8 billion euros ($2.4 billion) is touted as the world's biggest.

The Gordo uses a complex system of shared numbers that divides wealth among millions of people holding numbers that go from 00001 to 66,000. Complicating matters further, each of those 66,000 numbers is repeated 195 times with different serial numbers.

Needless to say my parents didn't win HAHA but since they moved to Spain 3 years ago they play like crazy! HAHA
