An exciting new annual draw is set to take place for the first time this December after plans were finalised for the German Christmas Lottery. Scheduled for Boxing Day and based on the hugely popular El Gordo Navidad in Spain, the Deutsche Weihnachtslotterie will give away thousands of prizes to players across Germany. Players in Germany will be able to pay €20 for a German Christmas Lottery ticket and in return they will receive a five-digit code. On the day of the draw, 26th December, a series of winning codes will be selected at random and players with matching tickets will win the corresponding prizes.

There are 100,000 different number combinations in one series, but several series could be sold.
