E-Lottery and the Elgordo Lotto — a Primer
When you first come across the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the El Gordo Loteria, you will certainly want to know more. Offering one of the biggest jackpots in the world, this wager offers payouts of between eighty four million and 2.6 billion Euros. Even that is not the only thing that is remarkable here. With more than thirteen thousand prizes available your chances of winning a prize mean that there is one winner in every six tickets. That’s a remarkable rate when compared with the majority of other international lotteries! In the Euromillions Euro lotto there is one monthly draw. But three months each year boast bigger draws for larger prizes. These include the January “El Nio”, the summer “San Ildefonso”, and the Xmas “el gordo la” i.e. “the Fatso”, with the Xmas El Gordo lottery being the largest of the lot. Balls with numbers in a range between 00,000 and 84,999 are not what you expect to see from lottery systems, but this draw employs a unique system taking full advantage of them. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first draw indicates the winning ticket, the second the prize value.
Should you want to get in on the action there is a full ticket called a “serie”. You can also go for the cheaper option called a “décimo”, which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has a better chance of being a winner. This is the reason that the e-lottery scheme is popular with many Euromillions Euro lotto players.
The e-lottery system promises a prize for everyone who takes part. Just buy into the Euromillions Euro Lotto syndicate and they’ll pool you into teams. Each team is assigned a number from 0-9 when the drawing is made, the last number on the winning ball determines which team receives the money. A fair division of the prize amongst the team comes next. Then, everyone subscribes again for the next month’s draw and the cycle begins again. The concept of sharing the jackpots causes a little concern to some players. What you have to remember is that when the amount being divided is more than two and a half billion Euros, a share works out at a considerable sum of money. You’ll find the syndicate e-lottery program is far more cost effective, and knowing that you’ll win something every month, you don’t have to worry about losing all the time. E-lottery is the best way to go…
