Going for the Elgordo with E-Lottery
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. Boasting payouts up to 2.6 billion Euros, the lottery offers one of the world’s richest jackpots. This is just one of the lottery’s claims to fame. The El Gordo Lottery makes available more than 13,000 prizes, which makes for a prize winner for every six contestants. When you consider the prizes given by other lotteries, it has to be said that El Gordo’s offerings aren’t bad.
There is one draw per month under the banner of the Euromillions Euro lotto. Three months each year play host to bigger drawings featuring significantly grander prizes. Richest and, expectably, most popular of all the draws is “fat cat” “El Gordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other bigger drawings are set for January (”El Nio”) and the summer (”San Ildefonso”). Unlike other lottery draw systems, the de el gordo employs balls with five digits printed on each ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. Under this system, one ball is selected from a bowl to identify the winning number and another ball is drawn from a second bowl to find the prize value.
Should you want to have a chance to win you can buy an entire ticket known as a “serie”. Or, you can choose the more affordable option known as a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. These options have the same chance of winning, but of course their payout varies according to which you bought to begin with. That’s why many people playing the El Gordo lotto use the e-lottery system.
This system can guarantee a prize to everyone who takes part. Just buy into the Euromillions Euro Lotto syndicate and they’ll pool you into teams. Each team is assigned an identifying number from 1-9, the last digit of the winning number in the draw identifying the team which wins the prize. An even division of the prize amongst the team follows. In time for next month’s draw, the syndicate once again sells subscriptions and the e-lottery continues.
It’s natural to feel some concern as to whether it’s worth sharing these payoffs. But when you stop to think how much over two and a half billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty for everybody. There’s no need to worry with this system as you’re guaranteed to win a prize each month, and a place in the syndicate is a more cost-effective approach. The syndicate promises the best payout of them all.
