Going for the Spanish Elgordo Lottery Taking Advantage of the E-Lottery System
The Elgordo Loteria is a part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if you don’t know anymore than that you should really get to learn more. The lottery is well known for jackpots that number amongst the world’s richest – payouts up to more than two and a half billion Euros. Even that isn’t all that is special here. The chances of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, with over thirteen thousand different amounts. Not bad at all when held against what comparable lotteries are prepared to part with.
Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. Bigger prizes can be won from bigger draws held three months a year. Richest of all the drawings is “Elgordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other two special drawings are set for January – “El Nio” – and in the summer (“San Ildefonso”). Unlike other Euro lottery systems, the Elgordo Lottery utilizes balls with five digits printed on each in a range from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball will be drawn from each of two bowls; the first bowl indicates the winning ticket, while the second determines the prize value.
To enter the lottery, one choice is a full ticket, called a “serie”. Or, you can choose the more affordable option called a “décimo”, valued at one-tenth of a full ticket. Neither option is particularly cheap, though, and obviously neither has better odds of being one of the one in six winning tickets. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system. Using this system, you can be sure that you will win a prize. Just buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. These teams are assigned a number from zero to nine, the last digit of the winning number in the draw identifying the team which wins the prize. An equal distribution of the prize among the members follows. In anticipation of the next lottery, the syndicate once again sells subscriptions and the e-lottery continues.
Sharing the jackpots is cause for concern for some players. But when you stop to think how much more than two and a half billion Euros really is, there’s still plenty for everybody. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the e-lottery is both less of a worry and more affordable. The e-lottery is the truly smart way to go.
