Taking Part in the Spanish El Gordo with the E-Lottery System
The Elgordo Loteria is a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you’ve ever heard you definitely need to find out more. Noted for offering one of the most substantial jackpots of our time, this simple wager offers payouts that are known to run up to over two and a half billion Euros. Nor is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! This lottery puts more than thirteen thousand prizes up for grabs, which works out to a winner per every six contestants. That’s very good, actually, when held against what other branded lotteries will offer.
There is one draw each month under the aegis of the Euromillions Euro lotto. But three months each year are dedicated to special draws for larger prizes. To be more precise: the January “El Nio”, Summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and the Christmas “Elgordo”, with Christmas’s drawing being the largest of the lot.
Unusually for lotteries, the balls used in the Elgordo lottery draw display five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw one ball is drawn from a bowl to determine the winning number and another ball is pulled out of a second bowl to determine the amount of the prize. Should you want to enter there is an entire ticket known as a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is particularly cheap, though, and equally neither has an optimal chance of being one of the one in six winning tickets. This is the reason that the e-lottery system is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players.
This system guarantees a prize to everyone who takes part. You will automatically be sorted into a team following your choice to buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. With each team numbered between 0 – 9, the last digit on the winning number determines the winners and they go on to take the money. An even division of the prize among the members comes next. In preparation for the next lottery, the syndicate takes subscriptions once again and the e-lottery continues.
Sharing the pots causes a little concern to some players. The thing is, there’s still a lot of money to go around when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. There’s no reason to worry playing by e-lottery because you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize during each drawing, and a place in the e-lottery is a more affordable approach. The syndicate is the truly smart way to play…
