Your Authoritative Elgordo Lotto Primer
The El Gordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if you don’t know anymore than that that’s certainly not enough. Boasting payouts that can be as high as 2.6 billion Euros, the El Gordo Lottery offers one of the biggest jackpots worldwide. Even that is not the only thing that’s special here. The chances of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, with over 13,000 different amounts. When you consider prizes pitched by competing lotteries, it has to be said that El Gordo’s offerings aren’t at all bad!
There is one draw each month held by the Euromillions Euro lottery. But three months each year are scheduled for special lotteries for even bigger prizes. The three special draws are scheduled to take place in January, summer, and at Christmas; these are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso and El Gordo, literally meaning: “the fatso”. Unlike typical lottery draw systems, the El Gordo lottery uses balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. Two bowls are required, with one used determining the winning number, the second the prize value. Thinking of entering this drawing? You have two basic choices; first, you can purchase a full ticket, called a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” worth one tenth of a full ticket. Unfortunately, both these choices are expensive ways to play and they don’t increase your chances of a payout anyway. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lottery has put an e-lottery system into operation.
When you employ the e-lottery system, you can be confident of winning a prize. Just buy into the El Gordo Lotto syndicate and they’ll divide you into teams. These teams are assigned an identifying number from zero to nine, the last digit of the winning number in the draw identifying the team that wins the payoff. The money is then divided among the team. Then, everyone renews their subscription for the draw the following month and the cycle begins again. Some players feel hesitant on hearing that they have to share these big payouts. But when you consider how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty to go around. As you’re guaranteed to win at every draw, the syndicate system is both less of a worry and more affordable. E-lottery is the smartest way to play…
