			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Spanish love to play the lottery&#8230; and a s a resident in Fuerteventura, why not jump on the bandwagon and have a bash yourself?  Lottery tickets can be bought at the official outlets in Lanzarote &#8211; signposted as &#8220;Loterias y Apuestas del Estado&#8221;. <span id="more-236"></span>Both residents and visitors can play, and if you are lucky enough to pick the winning combination, then your prize is tax free (except for when transferring between countries of course).</p>
