Unrelating

A major event within the Euromillions Euro lotto is the Loteria de Elgordo which you may well wish to know more about. The lottery is rightly famous for top payouts that number amongst the richest worldwide - payouts ranging from eighty four million to more than two and a half billion Euros. And yet there’s more. This lottery offers up more than 13,000 prizes, making for a winner per every six tickets. These are really surprising odds when looked at in context with the majority of other branded lotteries.

There is one draw per month under the auspices of the Euromillions Euro lotto. But three months a year are scheduled for bigger lotteries for yet bigger prizes. More specifically: the January “El Nio”, the summer “San Ildefonso”, and the Christmas “Elgordo”, with Christmas’s Elgordo drawing being the biggest and most popular of the 12.

Unusually for lotteries, the balls used in the Elgordo lottery have five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. Two bowls are employed, with one used determining the winning ticket, while the second decides the prize value.

To enter the lottery, your first choice is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Also available is a “décimo”, which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. This is the cheaper option. Unfortunately, both both of these choices are comparatively pricy ways to play nor will either of them upmark your prospects of a win anyway. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto has put an e-lottery system into place.

Everyone is certain of winning a prize if play the e-lottery system. You just buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. Each team is assigned a number from zero to nine, the last number on the winning ball in the draw identifying the team that will receive the money. A fair division of the prize amongst the team comes next. Everyone renews their subscription for the next month’s lottery and it starts all over again.

Some people are a little concerned on hearing that they would have to share these big payouts. The thing to remember is there’s still a lot of money to share out when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. There’s no need to worry with this system for the simple reason that you’ll win something during each draw, and on top of that a place in the e-lottery is the more cost-effective approach. It’s the best way to play the Elgordo lottery…
