The El Gordo Lottery is a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that there’s a great deal more to discover. Boasting payouts that can be as high as 2.6 billion Euros, the lottery claims one of the biggest jackpots on a global scale. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. This lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, making for a winner per every six tickets. When compared with prizes given by other lotteries, that’s certainly not bad!
There is one draw per month held by the Euromillions Euro lotto. Three months a year see special draws promising still bigger prizes. These bigger drawings occur in January, summer, and at Christmas; these are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso & El Gordo (which translates to “the Fat Cat”).
Unlike other lottery systems, the El Gordo Lottery uses balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first bowl indicates the winning ticket, the second the prize value.
Thinking of entering this lottery draw? There are two options; the first is that you can get a full ticket, called a “serie”. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” valued at one tenth of a full ticket. Neither option is particularly cheap, though, and of course neither has better odds of being a winner. As a result many people playing the El Gordo lottery use the e-lottery system.
Everyone’s certain to win a prize if participating in the e-lottery system. You are automatically assigned a team following your choice to buy into the El Gordo Lottery syndicate. With each team assigned a number from 0-9 when the draw is held, the final number on the winning ball determines which team receives the prize. An equal division of the spoils amongst the team comes next. Afterward, subscriptions are offered ready for the next drawing.
It is common to worry about whether it would be worth sharing the pots. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to share out when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. There’s no need for concern with this system because you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize each month, and on top of that a place in the syndicate is the more affordable approach to playing. E-lottery is the smarter way to go.
