The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Loteria, you’ll definitely want to know more. Renowned for featuring one of the most generous jackpots worldwide, this game of chance offers payouts that can run up to over two and a half billion Euros. Even that is not all that is special here. The Elgordo Lottery puts more than thirteen thousand prizes up for grabs, making for a winner per every six tickets. That’s a pretty remarkable rate when compared with other major lotteries!
Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. But three months each year have bigger draws for yet bigger prizes. To be precise: the January “El Nio”, summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and the Christmas “Elgordo” aka “the Fatso”, with Christmas’s Elgordo draw being the richest and most popular of the twelve.
Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but this draw employs an unusual approach taking full advantage of them. In this system, one ball is selected from a bowl to determine the winning number while a second is drawn from the second bowl to find the prize value. To enter the draw, one choice is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Or, you can choose the more affordable option called a “décimo”, valued at one tenth of a full ticket. Neither alternative is especially cheap, however, and of course neither has a better chance of being a winner. This is the reason that the e-lottery scheme is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players.
Using the e-lottery system, you’re guaranteed a prize. You are automatically assigned a team following your choice to buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. With each team assigned a number from 0-9 when the drawing is made, the last digit of the winning number determines which team receives the prize. A fair distribution of the spoils amongst the team follows. Following that, subscriptions are offered for the syndicate ready for the lottery held next month.
It is common to worry about whether it would be worth sharing these jackpots. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to go around when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. There’s no reason to worry with this system simply because you’ll win a prize each month, and on top of that a share in the e-lottery is the cheaper way to play. E-lottery is the smarter way to play…
