The E-Lottery System & the Elgordo Lotto - a Beginner’s Guide
The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the El Gordo Loteria, you will certainly want to learn more. Renowned for featuring one of the biggest jackpots of our time, this game of chance offers pots up to 2.6 billion Euros. Nor is this the lottery’s only claim to fame. The El Gordo Lottery puts more than thirteen thousand prizes up for grabs, giving you a winner for every six tickets. Not bad at all when held against what comparable lotteries will offer you. With the Euromillions Euro lotto, one draw is made every month. Bigger prizes can be won from special lotteries held during three months around the year. The three bigger draws are held in January, summer, and at Christmas; they are, respectively, El Nio, San Ildefonso and El Gordo. Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not what you expect to see from lottery systems, but this draw employs an unusual approach using them. During the draw one ball is selected from a bowl to determine the winning ticket while a second is pulled out of a second bowl to find the amount of the prize. If you want to have a chance to win you can get an entire ticket known as a “serie”. Also available is a “décimo”, worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is your other option. Neither alternative is particularly cheap, however, and of course neither has better odds of being a winner. As a result many people playing the El Gordo lottery take advantage of the e-lottery system. This system promises a prize for every participant. Simply buy into the El Gordo Lottery syndicate where you’re sorted into teams. These teams are assigned an identifying number from zero to nine, the last number on the winning ball in the draw identifying the team that wins the prize. An even distribution of the prize amongst the team follows. In preparation for next month’s lottery, the syndicate once again takes subscriptions and the e-lottery continues.
The concept of sharing the pots causes a little concern for some players. But when you consider how much over two and a half billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still plenty to go around. You’ll find the syndicate system is far more cost effective, and with the knowledge that you’ll win something in each draw, you don’t have to worry about losing all the time. There just isn’t any better way to play.
