If you walk into any bar or café in Spain right now, you will encounter the sound of choir children chanting out numbers, either out of the TV, or if they lack it, a radio. The same can be said for a lot of building receptions, offices, and living rooms around the nation.

This is the second longest-running Lottery in the world, it was first drawn on the 18th December 1812, and has been drawn annually since then, normally on the 22nd.

This is why the hypnotic chant is still happening today.
