The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Loteria, you’ll certainly want to know more. This lottery is well-known for jackpots that can match the world’s richest – payouts up to two point six billion Euros. Even that is not the only thing that’s remarkable here. The Elgordo Lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, which ultimately gives you a one in six chance of winning a prize. When you consider prizes offered by other lottos, that’s pretty good. There is one draw per month under the aegis of the Euromillions Euro lotto. But three months a year are dedicated to special lotteries for grander prizes. More specifically: January’s “El Nio”, the Summer “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “Elgordo”, with the Christmas Elgordo drawing being the biggest of the 12. Balls with numbers in a range between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but this draw employs an unusual approach using them. The system makes use of two bowls, with one used to decide a winner, while the second decides the prize value.
So how do you enter this lottery draw? You have two basic choices; first, you can buy a full ticket, called a “serie”. Also available for purchase is a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is the cheaper option. These options have an equal chance of winning, but obviously the payout varies according to which you bought at the start. As a consequence the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system. Everyone’s assured of winning a prize if participating in the e-lottery system. You are automatically sorted into a team when you buy in with the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. With each team numbered between 0 – 9, the last digit on the winning ball picks the winners who will take the prize. Every member will receive an even share. Then, everyone renews their subscription for the next month’s lottery and the cycle begins again. The concept of sharing the pots causes a little concern to some players. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to share out when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. With a guaranteed win each month, the e-lottery system is both more affordable and less of a worry as you know you’ll get a return. It’s the smartest approach to the Euromillions Euro lotto.
