If this is the first you’ve heard of the Elgordo Lottery, a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, you definitely need to know more. Boasting one of the largest jackpots of our time, this simple wager offers pots of between eighty-four million and well over two and a half billion Euros. Even that is not the only thing that is special here. The odds of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, and these prizes might be any of more than thirteen thousand different amounts. When you consider prizes given by other lotteries, that’s certainly not bad.

With the Euromillions Euro lottery, one draw is made every month. But three months a year boast special lotteries for grander prizes. Largest and, expectably, most popular of all the lotteries is the Xmas lottery, “Elgordo”, while the two other special drawings occur in January – “El Nio” – and the summer (“San Ildefonso”). Unlike other lottery systems, the Elgordo Lottery uses balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first draw determines the winning ticket, the second the prize value. Wondering how to enter this lottery draw? You have two choices; the first is that you can purchase a “serie” or a full ticket. You can also go for a cheaper option known as a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is especially cheap, though, and equally neither has better odds of being one of the 1/6 winning tickets. That is why many players of the Elgordo lottery use the e-lottery system.

If you buy into the e-lottery system, you’re guaranteed a prize. You will automatically be pooled into a team following your buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. Each team is assigned a number from 1-9, the last digit of the winning number in the draw being used to identify the team that will receive the payoff. All members then receive an even share of the prize. In anticipation of the next lottery, the syndicate offers subscriptions once again and the e-lottery continues. Sharing the prizes is cause for concern for some people. But when you consider how much more than two and a half billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money to go around. You’ll find the syndicate e-lottery system is far more cost effective, and with the knowledge that you’ll win something in each draw, there are no worries about losing all the time. The e-lottery offers the best payout of them all.
