The El Gordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that there’s a great deal more to discover. Famed for one of the richest jackpots of our time, this simple game of chance offers pots that can run up to well over two and a half billion Euros. However that’s not all, not by a pretty long shot. There’s lots more you will want to know about. In this lottery the odds of winning something are a stunning one in six, and these prizes might be any of over 13,000 different amounts. When compared with the prizes being featured by other lottos, you’ve got to admit that El Gordo’s offerings certainly aren’t at all bad. With the Euromillions Euro lottery, one draw is held every month. Even bigger prizes can be won at bigger drawings held during three months a year. Largest (and most popular) of all the draws is the Christmas lottery, “El Gordo”, while the other two special draws are in January - “El Nio” - and the summer (”San Ildefonso”). Unusually among lotteries, the balls used in the El Gordo lottery sport five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw one ball is drawn from a bowl to find the winning number while a second is drawn from the second bowl to find the prize value. Now, if you would like to have a chance to win you can buy an entire ticket known as a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither alternative is particularly cheap, though, and equally neither has an optimal chance of being a winner. For this reason the e-lottery system is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players. Everyone is certain of winning a prize if they go for the e-lottery system. All you do is buy into the El Gordo Lotto syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. These teams are assigned an identifying number from 1-9, the last number on the winning ball in the draw being used to identify the team which will receive the payoff. An equal division of the spoils among the members comes next. Following that, subscriptions are sold ready for the next drawing.
Sharing the pots is cause for concern for some players. What you need to keep in mind is that when the amount being divided is more than two and a half billion Euros, a share is still a considerable return. As you’re guaranteed to win once a month, the e-lottery syndicate is both more affordable and less of a worry as you can be certain of a return. E-lottery is the smarter strategy…
