　　Sodeto, which has around 250 residents, has been inundated with travelling salesmen and bankers hoping to persuade the wealthy villagers to part with their winnings.The annual El Gordo lottery has been running since 1812 and is so popular that some people take the day off work to watch the morning draw。
