The Dummy’s Smart Guide to the Spanish El Gordo Lotto
A key part of the Euromillions Euro lotto is the Elgordo Loteria which you may well wish to learn about. Offering one of the biggest jackpots worldwide, this simple wager offers payouts ranging from eighty-four million to more than two and a half billion Euros. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! This lottery offers odds of winning something to the tune of a stunning one in six, with more than 13,000 different amounts. A remarkable rate when compared with the majority of other major lotteries. There is one draw each month under the aegis of the Euromillions Euro lottery. Even more substantial prizes can be had from special drawings held during three months around the year. These bigger drawings are scheduled to take place in January, summer, and around Christmas: respectively, these are El Nio, San Ildefonso & Elgordo (which is Spanish for “Fatso”). Unusually for lotteries, the balls utilized by the Elgordo lotto have five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first selection determines the winning ticket, the second the prize value.
Should you want to get in on the action you can get an entire ticket known as a “serie”. Also available is a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is the cheaper option. Neither choice is especially cheap, though, and of course neither has better odds of being a winner. As a consequence the Euromillions Euro Lotto has additionally provided an e-lottery system.
The e-lottery system promises a prize for everyone who takes part. Simply buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate which will then divide you up into teams. With each team assigned a number ranging from 0-9 when the drawing is made, the final number on the winning ball determines which team receives the money. All members receive their share of the prize. Then, everyone renews their subscription for the draw the following month and the cycle begins again.
Some people are a little concerned when they hear that they have to share these jackpots. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to go around when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. No need to worry playing by e-lottery for the simple reason that you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize during each drawing, and a place in the syndicate is a more affordable approach. There isn’t any better return…
