The Elgordo Loteria is a part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if that’s all you happen to know you definitely need to find out more. The lottery is rightly famous for top payouts that number amongst the world’s biggest – payouts as high as 2.6 billion Euros. Nor is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! With more than thirteen thousand prizes available, your chances of winning a prize work out to around one in every six. That’s a very remarkable rate when looked at in the context of other lotteries! In the Euromillions Euro lottery one draw is held every month. But three months a year boast bigger draws for grander prizes. These bigger drawings are hosted in January, summer, and at Christmas: respectively, these are El Nio, San Ildefonso & Elgordo (which is appropriately translated as: “Fatso”). Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but the Elgordo lottery employs an unusual approach taking full advantage of them. During the draw a ball is selected from a bowl to identify the winning number and another ball is pulled out of a second bowl to decide the amount of the prize.

So how do you enter this lottery? There are two basic choices; the first is that you can buy a “serie” or a full ticket. Or, you can choose the cheaper option known as a “décimo”, valued at one tenth of a full ticket. Unfortunately, both options are pricy ways to play nor will either upgrade your prospects of winning anyway. This is the reason that the e-lottery system is popular with many Euromillions Euro lottery players.

When you buy into this system, you can be confident of winning a prize. All you do is buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate and you’ll be divided into teams. With each team assigned a number ranging from 0-9 when the draw is made, the last digit of the winning number identifies which team will receive the prize. An equal distribution of the prize among the members follows. Afterward, subscriptions are sold for the syndicate ready for the draw held next month. Sharing the prizes is cause for concern to some players. But when you stop to think how much 2.6 billion Euros really is, there’s still lots of money for everybody. No reason to worry with this system – you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize every month, and on top of that a share in the syndicate is a cheaper approach to playing. E-lottery is the best way to play…
