E-Lottery and El Gordo Lottery — the Beginner’s Guide
When you first come across the El Gordo Lottery, part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, you will certainly want to learn more. Widely renowned for offering one of the largest jackpots in the world, this simple wager offers pots ranging from eighty four million to 2.6 billion Euros. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame. The odds of winning a prize of some sort are as high as one in six, and these prizes might be any of more than 13,000 different amounts. When you consider prizes being offered by other lotteries, it has to be said that El Gordo’s offerings certainly aren’t at all bad.
With the Euromillions Euro lottery there is one draw per month. Three months a year play host to bigger lotteries featuring still bigger prizes. Richest and, expectably, most popular of all the drawings is “El Gordo” which is held around Christmas, while the other bigger draws are in January – “El Nio” – and in summer (“San Ildefonso”). 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 using them. The system employs two bowls, with one used to decide the winning ticket, while the second decides the prize value. So how do you enter this lottery draw? There are two basic choices; the first is that you can get a “serie” or a full ticket. Also available is a “décimo”, which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. This is the cheaper option. Neither option is particularly cheap, however, and obviously neither has a better chance of being one of the 1/6 winning tickets. As a result the Euromillions Euro Lottery has additionally provided an e-lottery system. When you buy into the e-lottery system, you can be confident of winning a prize. You are automatically assigned a team following your buy into the El Gordo Lottery syndicate. With each team having a number between 0 – 9, the last digit on the winning number picks the winners and they go on to take the prize. A fair distribution of the prize among the members comes next. Following that, subscriptions are offered ready for the lottery held next month. The concept of sharing the prizes is cause for concern for some players. 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. You’ll find the syndicate program is far more cost effective, and with the knowledge that you’ll share in a prize once a month, there are no worries about constantly losing. It’s the smarter approach to the El Gordo lottery…
