A major event within the Euromillions Euro lotto is the Loteria de El Gordo – and you would do well to know more about this part. Boasting one of the world’s largest jackpots, this simple game of hazard offers pots ranging from eighty-four million to over two and a half billion Euros. This is just one of the lottery’s claims to fame. The chances of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, with more than 13,000 different amounts. When you consider prizes given by competing lottos, it has to be said that El Gordo’s offerings are extraordinarily good!
Each month the Euromillions Eurolottery holds one draw. But three months each year boast bigger lotteries for grander prizes. Biggest of all these draws is “fat cat” “El Gordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other bigger drawings are set for January (“El Nio”) and in summer (“San Ildefonso”). Balls with numbers in a range between 00,000 and 84,999 are not what you expect to see from lottery systems, but the El Gordo lottery employs a unique system using them. One ball is drawn from each of two bowls; the first draw indicates the winning ticket, while the second determines the prize value. To enter the draw, your first choice is a full ticket, termed a “serie”. Also available for purchase is a “décimo”, worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is the other option. Neither alternative is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has a better chance of being one of the 1/6 winning tickets. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system.
Using the e-lottery system, you are guaranteed to win a prize. All you do is buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. These teams are assigned a number from 1-9, the last number on the winning ball in the draw being used to identify the team that wins the prize. A fair distribution of the prize amongst the team follows. Following that, subscriptions are sold for the syndicate ready for the next drawing.
It is common to worry about whether it would be worth sharing the payoffs. What you have to remember is that when the initial amount is 2.6 billion Euros, a single share works out at a substantial return. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the e-lottery is both more cost effective and less stress as you know you’ll get a return. It’s the smartest strategy for the El Gordo lotto…
