The E-Lottery System and the Elgordo Lottery - the 101
Posted in Better Betting, Lady Luck's Lair, Miscellaneous on November 15th, 2009The Elgordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you’ve ever heard you definitely need to find out more. Promising payouts up to 2.6 billion Euros, the Elgordo lottery offers one of the biggest jackpots worldwide. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. The lottery offers odds of winning something to the tune of an amazing one in six, and these prizes might be any of over 13,000 different amounts. These are really surprising odds when viewed in the context of other major lotteries.
With the Euromillions Euro lotto one draw is made every month. Richer prizes can be had from bigger draws held during three months a year. More specifically: January’s “El Nio”, Summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “Elgordo” (which appropriately translates to “Fat One”) with the Xmas draw being the largest of the 12. Balls with numbers ranging between 00,000 and 84,999 are not what you expect to see from lottery systems, but the Elgordo lottery employs a unique system taking full advantage of them. Under this system, a ball is selected from a bowl to find the winning number while a second is pulled out of the second bowl to determine the prize value. Should you want to have a chance to win there is an entire ticket called a “serie”. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” valued at one tenth of a full ticket. Unfortunately, both both of these choices are comparatively pricey ways to play and neither of them increases your chances of a win. As a result many people playing the Elgordo lottery use the e-lottery system.
Everyone’s certain of winning a prize if play the e-lottery system. All you do is buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. Each team is assigned a number ranging from zero to nine when the drawing is held, the last number on the winning ball identifies which team will receive the prize. All members then receive an even share of the prize. Then, everyone subscribes again for the next month’s lottery and it starts all over again.
It is natural to wonder whether it’s worth sharing these pots. But when you stop to think how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty for everybody. No reason to worry playing by e-lottery - you’re guaranteed to win something during each drawing, and on top of that a place in the syndicate is a most cost-effective approach. It’s the smarter strategy for the Euromillions Euro lottery…
