The Smart Player’s El Gordo Lotto 101

When you first come across the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Loteria, you will definitely want to learn more. This lottery is rightly famous for top payouts that can match the richest in the world – payouts up to 2.6 billion Euros. And yet there’s more. The Elgordo Lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, making for a prize winner per every six contestants. Not bad by the standards of the prizes promoted by competing lotteries.

Once a month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. But three months each year are dedicated to special drawings for larger prizes. Biggest of all these lotteries is “fatso” “Elgordo” which is held around Xmas, while the other two special lotteries take place in January – “El Nio” – and the summer (“San Ildefonso”).

Unlike other lottery systems, the Elgordo Lottery uses balls with five digits printed on each one in a range from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw a ball is selected from a bowl to find the winning number and another ball is drawn from a second bowl to find the amount of the prize.

To enter the lottery, one choice is a full ticket, termed a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. Unfortunately, both both of these choices are pricey ways to play and neither increases your odds of a win in any case. That is why many players of the Elgordo lotto take advantage of the e-lottery scheme. The e-lottery system guarantees a prize to every participant. You just buy your way into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. Each team is assigned a number from zero to nine when the drawing is made, the last digit of the winning number determines which team receives the prize. The prize is divided evenly among the members. Then, everyone subscribes again for the draw the following month and the cycle begins again. Sharing the prizes is cause for concern for some people. But when you consider how much more than two and a half billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money for everybody. As you’re guaranteed to win at every draw, the e-lottery is both more cost effective and less stress as you know you’ll get a return. The e-lottery syndicate promises the best return of them all…
