The El Gordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if you don’t know anymore than that you should really get to learn more. Highly regarded for having one of the world’s biggest jackpots, this simple wager offers payouts ranging from 84 million to well over two and a half billion Euros. And yet there’s more. This lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, consequently giving you a one in six chance of winning a prize. A very remarkable rate when looked at in the context of other competing lotteries!

There is one draw per month under the banner of the Euromillions Euro lottery. More substantial prizes can be won from bigger draws held during three months around the year. These include January’s “El Nio”, summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “El Gordo” (which, appropriately, is Spanish for “the Fatso”) with the Christmas lottery being the richest and most popular of the twelve. In an atypical approach to draws, the balls used in the El Gordo lotto sport five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. The system makes use of two bowls, one being used in deciding the winning number, while the second decides the amount. Should you want to get in on the action there is an entire ticket known as a “serie”. You can also go for the cheaper option known as a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. Both serie and decimo have the same chance to win, but of course the payout is proportional to what you spend at the start. For this reason the e-lottery system is popular with many Euromillions Euro lotto players.

This system can guarantee a prize for everyone who takes part. You will automatically be sorted into a team following your buy into the El Gordo Lottery syndicate. With each team having a number between 0 - 9, the final digit on the winning number determines the winners and they go on to take the money. A fair division of the prize amongst the team comes next. Everyone then renews their subscription for the next month’s lottery and it starts all over again.

It is typical to worry about whether it would be worth sharing the payoffs. What you need to keep in mind is that when the initial amount is 2.6 billion Euros, a single share works out at a healthy sum of money. No reason for concern playing by e-lottery as you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize during each drawing, and a share in the e-lottery is a more cost-effective approach to playing. The syndicate promises the best return of them all.
