Taking Part in the Spanish Elgordo Lottery Exploiting the E-Lottery System
The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Loteria, you absolutely need to find out more. This lottery is well-known for jackpots that are among the world’s richest - payouts as high as more than two and a half billion Euros. Even that is not all that is remarkable here. The odds of becoming a prize winner are as high as one in six, and these prizes can be any of over 13,000 different amounts. Not bad at all by the standards of the prizes pitched by competing lotteries! Once per month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. Three months each play host to special lotteries offering even more substantive prizes. These bigger lotteries are scheduled to take place in January, summer, and around Christmas; they are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso and Elgordo aka “fatso”.
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 taking full advantage of them. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first bowl determines the winning ticket, while the second determines the prize value.
Interested in entering this drawing? You have two basic choices; first, you can buy a “serie” or a full ticket. Also available for purchase is a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. This is your other option. Neither choice is particularly cheap, though, and obviously neither has an optimal chance of being a winner. That is why many players of the Elgordo lottery use the e-lottery system.
Everyone is assured of winning a prize if they sign up for the e-lottery system. Simply buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate where you’re divided up into teams. With each team having a number between 0 and 9, the last digit on the winning ball signifies the winning team who will take the prize. An equal division of the spoils amongst the team comes next. Following that, subscriptions are offered for the syndicate ready for the next drawing. Sharing the jackpots is cause for concern to some players. The thing is, there’s still a lot of money to share out when the original prize was more than two and a half billion Euros. With a guaranteed win once a month, the e-lottery is both less of a worry and more affordable. E-lottery is the smarter way to play…
