E-Lottery & Elgordo Lotto — a Seasoned Player’s Guide
The Elgordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you happen to know you definitely need to find out more. Boasting payouts between 84 million and more than two and a half billion Euros, the lottery offers one of the richest jackpots in the world. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. The odds of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, with over 13,000 different amounts. Pretty good, actually, if you hold it against what other branded lotteries can part with.
There is one draw each month under the banner of the Euromillions Euro lottery. But three months each year boast special lotteries for larger prizes. Namely, January’s “El Nio”, summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and the Christmas “Elgordo” also known as “the Fatso”, with Christmas’s lottery being the largest and most popular of the lot.
Balls with numbers ranging between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but this draw employs a unique system using them. During the draw a ball is drawn from a bowl to determine the winning ticket while a second is pulled out of a second bowl to decide the amount of the prize. Now, if you would like to have a chance to win you can get a full ticket known as a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” valued at one-tenth of a full ticket. Both serie and decimo have an equal chance of winning, but obviously the payout is proportional to how much you spent to begin with. As a consequence the Euromillions Euro Lottery also offers an e-lottery system.
When you employ the e-lottery system, you’re guaranteed a prize. You just buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate where you’re divided up into teams. Each team is assigned an identifying number from zero to nine, the last digit of the winning number in the draw being used to identify the team which wins the prize. All members receive their share. Afterward, subscriptions are sold ready for the lottery held next month. It’s common to wonder whether it’s worth sharing the jackpots. But when you take into account how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money to go around. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the syndicate system is both less of a worry and more affordable. The e-lottery syndicate promises the best return of them all…
