- jmpeagle, on 12/23/2007, -2/+47spain uses the Euro dumbass, which is worth more than the dollar
- l2OI3, on 12/23/2007, -1/+26Jesus, with people like mooseontheloose, it's no wonder the dollar is so weak.
- wispygalaxy, on 12/23/2007, -1/+21Spain uses the Euro...
- forgiste, on 12/23/2007, -6/+23Bait and switch! That title was very misleading.
- annonimality, on 12/23/2007, -1/+14See the "$" in the title? That means U.S. dollars.
- gapingass, on 12/23/2007, -5/+18I see they named their lottery after Rosie O Donnell
- realjames, on 12/23/2007, -6/+19This article is just depressing. EUR2.2 billion = $3.2 billion? USD fails.
- Disablez, on 12/23/2007, -0/+10It's an official national lottery, so there are 0% taxes on the prize (state keeps part of the 30% from the collected money that doesn't go to prizes).
Of course, you might have to pay higher taxes as you're now 300.000 € richer but... that's another story. - inactive, on 12/23/2007, -5/+14Lame. Misleading.

- Godel, on 12/23/2007, -2/+7Apparently, you're also to upset to learn how to type.
- Dohko_Xar, on 12/23/2007, -0/+5maybe you haven't seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YnKVRb_LDM
- Vigo, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4$ doesn't mean U.S dollars. it just means dollars. Lots of countries use dollars such as the Canadian Dollar which at times has been worth more than the U.S Dollar
- essjay, on 12/23/2007, -0/+4I don't think I've ever seen a more ignorant comment, ever, anywhere, on so many levels. Wow.
Congratulations, you've exceeded the stupidity quota for the rest of the world, now everyone else has to be smart to make up for your mistake. Well done. I'm going to have to spend the holidays reading now... - inactive, on 12/23/2007, -0/+3"Real money"? You're kidding. Right?
- pilot3033, on 12/23/2007, -0/+3I can finally afford to build my fleet of all gold deathstars!
- ordago, on 12/23/2007, -0/+2I'm not sure but I think you should be able to type € pressing Alt Gr+5 or Alt Gr+E.
- inactive, on 12/23/2007, -2/+4*****
- jmpeagle, on 12/23/2007, -2/+4of course it's accurate, but that is not what he is complaining about. He's complaining about how it is misleading. I for example thought it was a lottery with only one winner or a handful at most.
- mllawso, on 12/23/2007, -3/+5Apple really needs to include an "exit" feature in the next version.
- redfox2600, on 12/23/2007, -1/+3No one got $3.2 billion dollars "top prize this year was 3 million euros" even then "Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize." Although $20 per ticket is a bit high.
- JorgeGT, on 12/23/2007, -0/+2Well, I won 20 euros of that ^__^
- supermanred, on 12/23/2007, -3/+4You're a Digg user with a nickname of gapingass. I bet Rosie Odonnel's clothes are too small for you. Have another Dorito.
- Lewie, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1LOL! I was wondering how long that would take to make it to Digg!
- nationalist, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1apparently spammers watch the news
- trixnfx, on 12/23/2007, -3/+4Nice name. Ever been in prison?
- AshamedAmerican, on 12/23/2007, -1/+2Ah ok, thanks. :)
- blehh, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1Or pesos, too.
- inactive, on 12/23/2007, -1/+2What is so hard about typing €?
- Vigo, on 12/23/2007, -1/+2sorry but the U.S dollar isn't so ***** hot these days
- Canadian0207, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1have any of you guys ever received a letter from El Gordo in the mail saying you've won a substantial amount of money but the only way to get it is to send money? or if not send money, give your financial information so they know the account to send it to?
- fofusion, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1Ahhh yes because the dollar is so strong right now.
- warriorscot, on 12/23/2007, -0/+1I don't know about you but thats not even on my keyboard I have a $ and £ but no €(had to copy from your post).
- gapingass, on 12/23/2007, -2/+2keep them coming.
- warriorscot, on 12/23/2007, -1/+1The title says awards 3.2 billion not one person wins 3.2 billion its pretty accurate I would be surprised if one person did get so much because it would go against the grain of how the lotteries usually work.
- mydave, on 07/28/2008, -0/+0oh fantastic!

http://www.trgovinca.org - D3xJ3an, on 02/16/2008, -0/+0I have just received by courier (via the post office) a document El Gordo which says to me that I gained(won) a rather important sum! There is a form to be filled(performed) and has to send back(to dismiss) by fax...
I wanted to know if it is reliable? - AshamedAmerican, on 12/23/2007, -2/+2I wonder what the taxes on that are.
- ragedriven, on 12/26/2007, -1/+01 in 180,000,000
the lottery is a tax on the mathematically challenged!
oh but it all goes to eduction you say? thats reverse welfare, poor black people sending white middle class kids to college...
when will this atrocity end? - Poltron, on 12/23/2007, -5/+2In other news... Chuck Norris Sues Himself when He finds out his tears do not cure cancer. More as it develops.
- supermanred, on 12/23/2007, -5/+1Apple didn't invade Iraq, and I barely know what you are talking about. Second thing, if Sagags was using an Apple, then he would have spellcheck throughout the OS and all his misspelled words would be underlined in red. RIght click to correct them. In ANY ***** browser.
- supermanred, on 12/23/2007, -10/+5Title seems accurate. I actually read the ***** article, maybe you should too.
- Johnny87, on 12/23/2007, -11/+6I have just won the Spanish National Lottery! I'm Rich! Rich! RICH!!
