Sign up for the Spanish Elgordo with E-Lottery
The El Gordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you know there’s a lot more to find out. Boasting one of the world’s biggest jackpots, this game of hazard offers payouts of between 84 million and more than two and a half billion Euros. And yet there’s more. The El Gordo Lottery offers up more than 13,000 prizes, making for a one in six chance to win a prize. Not bad at all by the standards of the prizes offered by comparable lotteries.
Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. But three months each year are dedicated to bigger lotteries for grander prizes. Richest of all these drawings is the Christmas lottery, “El Gordo”, while the two other special draws are in January (“El Nio”) and summer (“San Ildefonso”).
Balls with numbers ranging between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but the El Gordo lottery employs a unique system using them. Two bowls are employed, with one used to decide a winner, while the second decides the prize value. Wondering how you enter this lottery draw? There are two basic choices; first, you can purchase a full ticket, called a “serie”. Also available is a “décimo”, worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is the cheaper option. Neither choice is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has better odds of being one of the 1/6 winning tickets. For this reason the e-lottery scheme is used by many Euromillions Euro lottery players. This system can guarantee a prize to everyone who takes part. You just buy your way into the El Gordo Lotto syndicate which will then sort you into teams. With each team assigned a number from 0-9 when the drawing is held, the last digit of the winning number determines which team receives the money. An even distribution of the prize amongst the team follows. Then, everyone renews their subscription for the draw the following month and it starts all over again.
Some players are hesitant when they hear that they would have to share these jackpots. But when you consider how much more than two and a half billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty to go around. With a guaranteed win each month, the syndicate is both more affordable and less stress as you can be certain of a return. The e-lottery promises the best payout of them all…
