The El Gordo Loteria is a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that you definitely need to find out more. With payouts up to two point six billion Euros, the El Gordo Lottery offers one of the world’s richest jackpots. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. In this lottery the odds of winning something are an amazing one in six, and these prizes might be any of over 13,000 different amounts. When you consider the prizes featured by competing lotteries, it has to be said that El Gordo’s offerings are actually pretty good. In the Euromillions Euro lottery there is one draw per month. Even more substantial prizes can be won at featured draws held during three months a year. The most substantial of all these drawings is “El Gordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other bigger draws occur in January - “El Nio” - and in the summer (”San Ildefonso”). Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but this draw employs a unique system taking full advantage of them. During the draw a ball is selected from a bowl to determine the winning number and another ball is drawn from a second bowl to find the prize value.

Should you want to enter you can buy a full ticket called a “serie”. Or, you can choose a cheaper option known as a “décimo”, worth one-tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has an optimal chance of being one of the one in six winning tickets. As a result many players of the El Gordo lotto take advantage of the e-lottery system.

The e-lottery system promises a prize to every participant. All you do is buy into the El Gordo lottery syndicate and they’ll divide you into teams. These teams are assigned a number from 1-9, the last number on the winning ball in the draw identifying the team which will receive the prize. All members then receive an even share. In preparation for next month’s draw, the syndicate once again sells subscriptions and the e-lottery continues.

Sharing the pots causes a little concern to some people. The thing is, there’s still plenty to go around when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. There’s no need to worry playing by e-lottery - you’ll win something during each drawing, and a place in the syndicate is a more affordable approach to playing. There is simply no better return…
