The Player’s Definitive Guide to the Elgordo

The El Gordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that you definitely need to find out more. This lottery is noted for top payouts that are among the world’s biggest - payouts ranging from 84 million to more than two and a half billion Euros. And yet there’s more. The chances of becoming a prize winner are as high as one in six, and these prizes can be any of more than 13,000 different amounts. Astonishing odds when compared with the majority of other branded lotteries.

With the Euromillions Euro lottery, there is one draw per month. Even richer prizes can be won at special drawings held during three months around the year. These bigger drawings occur in January, summer, and at Christmas; respectively, these are El Nio, San Ildefonso and El Gordo.

Unusually for lottery systems, the balls required by the El Gordo lottery display five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. The system makes use of two bowls, one being used determining the winning number, while the second decides the prize value. Wondering how to enter this lottery draw? There are two basic choices; the first is that you can purchase a full ticket, called a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” valued at one-tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is particularly cheap, though, and of course neither has better odds of being a winner. This is the reason that the e-lottery system is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players.

With this system, you are guaranteed a prize. Just buy into the Euromillions Euro Lotto syndicate and they’ll pool you into teams. Each team is assigned a number from zero to nine when the drawing is made, the last digit of the winning number determines which team receives the prize. All members receive their share of the prize. Before the next lottery, the syndicate once again sells subscriptions to continue the e-lottery.

It is common to feel some concern about whether it would be worth sharing these prizes. But when you consider how much 2.6 billion Euros really is, there’s still lots of money for everybody. No need for concern playing by e-lottery - you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize each month, and a place in the e-lottery is a cheaper approach to playing. Really, there is no better return…
