Winning holiday lotto ticket bought in town called Luck

[Champ]

MADRID, Spain - Tickets bought in a town whose name means "Luck" shared the top prize Wednesday in Spain's El Gordo Christmas lottery, the biggest pot in the world.

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.

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.

All 195 tickets bearing this year's winning number were sold in the Catalan town of Sort, whose name means luck in the northeastern region's language.
