The El Gordo Lottery is a part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you happen to know you should get to learn more. Widely renowned for offering one of the world’s largest jackpots, this wager offers pots ranging from eighty four million to well over two and a half billion Euros. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame. This lottery makes available more than 13,000 prizes, giving you a winner for every six tickets. When you consider the prizes pitched by other lottos, that’s pretty good. Each month the Euromillions Eurolottery holds a draw. But three months a year play host to bigger lotteries for larger prizes. Biggest (and the most popular) of all these lotteries is “fat cat” “El Gordo” which is held around Xmas, while the other two special draws occur in January – “El Nio” – and summer (“San Ildefonso”).

Unusually among lottery systems, the balls used in the El Gordo lotto sport five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. The system requires two bowls, with one used to decide the winning number, the second the amount. Now, if you would like to enter there is a full ticket called a “serie”. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. These tickets have an equal chance to win, but of course their payout varies according to which you bought to begin with. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto has put an e-lottery system into place.

With the e-lottery system, you can be confident of winning a prize. You just buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. With each team assigned a number ranging from 0-9 when the drawing is held, the final digit of the winning number identifies which team will receive the money. The money is divided equally among the team. In preparation for the next draw, the syndicate once again takes subscriptions and the e-lottery continues.

Some players feel hesitant on hearing that they would have to share these big payouts. The thing is, there’s still plenty to share out when the original prize was over two and a half billion Euros. You’ll find the e-lottery is far more cost effective, and knowing that you’ll win something in each draw, there are no worries about constantly losing. The syndicate is the truly smart way to play…
