Playing the Spanish Elgordo Lottery
The first time you hear about the Elgordo Loteria, a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, you’ll certainly want to find out more. Boasting one of the richest jackpots on the planet, this game of chance offers payouts that can run up to more than two and a half billion Euros. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. The Elgordo Lottery puts more than thirteen thousand prizes up for grabs, which makes for a prize winner per every six tickets. Astonishing odds when looked at in the context of other lotteries. Each month the Euromillions Eurolottery holds a draw. Grander prizes can be had from special lotteries held during three months a year. Specifically, these are the January “El Nio”, the summer “San Ildefonso”, and the Xmas “Elgordo”, with the Xmas draw being the largest and most popular of the twelve. In an atypical approach to draws, the balls employed by the Elgordo lotto display five digits on each, with a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball will be drawn from each of two bowls; the first selection determines the winning ticket, the second the prize value. To enter the draw, one choice is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Or, you can go for a more affordable option known as a “décimo”, which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. Sadly, both both of these choices are pricey ways to play and they don’t upgrade your chance of a win. Because of this the Euromillions Euro lottery also offers an e-lottery system. The e-lottery system guarantees a prize for everyone who takes part. Simply buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate where you’re divided up into teams. These teams are assigned an identifying number from 1-9, the last digit of the winning number in the draw being used to identify the team that wins the payoff. Every member will then receive an even share of the prize. Before the next draw, the syndicate once again takes subscriptions to continue the e-lottery.
Some people are a little concerned on hearing that they would have to share these jackpots. But when you consider how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty for everybody. There’s no reason for concern playing by e-lottery as you’re guaranteed to win something during each drawing, and on top of that a share in the e-lottery is a cheaper approach to playing. There’s clearly no better return…
