Taking Part in the El Gordo with E-Lottery
The Elgordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that you definitely need to find out more. The lottery is rightly famous for payouts that number amongst the world’s richest - payouts up to 2.6 billion Euros. And yet there’s more. With over thirteen thousand prizes being offered, the chances of winning a prize mean that there’s one winner in every six tickets. When compared with prizes given by competing lottos, it has to be said that Elgordo’s offerings aren’t at all bad!
There is one draw each month in the Euromillions Euro lotto. Three months each year play host to bigger drawings promising even bigger prizes. These special draws occur in January, summer, and at Christmas: they are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso and Elgordo. Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not what you expect to see from lottery systems, but this draw employs a unique system taking full advantage of them. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first bowl indicates the winning ticket, while the second determines the prize value. To enter the lottery, one choice is a full ticket, termed a “serie”. Or, you can go for a cheaper option called a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has an optimal chance of being one of the one in six winning tickets. Because of this the Euromillions Euro lottery has put an e-lottery system into operation. If you employ the e-lottery system, you are guaranteed a prize. Simply buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. Each team is assigned a number from 1-9, the last digit of the winning number in the draw identifying the team that wins the money. The money is divided evenly among the members. Then, everyone subscribes again for the next month’s lottery and the cycle begins again. It’s common to wonder whether it would be worth sharing these prizes. What you have to remember is that when the initial amount is more than two and a half billion Euros, a share works out at a significant return. With a guaranteed win once a month, the e-lottery is both more affordable and less of a worry as you can be certain of a return. In fact, there’s no more effective way to play…
