The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Lottery, you’ll definitely want to learn more. The lottery is rightly famous for jackpots that can match the biggest in the world – payouts as high as more than two and a half billion Euros. This is not the lottery’s only claim to fame. The Elgordo Lottery offers up more than thirteen thousand prizes, making for a prize winner for every six tickets. That’s a very good rate when viewed in context with other branded lotteries.
There is one draw per month in the Euromillions Euro lotto. Three months each year see special lotteries featuring even grander prizes. These three bigger lotteries take place in January, summer, and at Christmas; in order, they are El Nio, San Ildefonso and Elgordo (which, in Spanish, means “the Fat Cat”). Balls numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not typical in lottery systems, but this draw employs an unusual approach taking full advantage of them. The system presses two bowls into service, with one used to decide a winner, while the second decides the prize value.
Should you want to have a chance to win there is an entire ticket known as a “serie”. There is also a cheaper option; called a “décimo” valued at one tenth of a full ticket. Neither choice is especially cheap, however, and obviously neither has a better chance of being a winner. As a result many players of the Elgordo lotto instead use the e-lottery scheme. Everyone is guaranteed to win a prize if play the e-lottery system. You will automatically be assigned a team when you buy in to the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. These teams are assigned an identifying number from zero to nine, the last digit of the winning number in the draw being used to identify the team that wins the payoff. The money is distributed among the members. In time for the next lottery, the syndicate once again sells subscriptions to continue the e-lottery. The concept of sharing the prizes is cause for concern for some players. But when you stop to think how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money for everybody. No reason to worry with this system simply because you’re guaranteed to win your share in a prize every month, and a share in the syndicate is the cheaper approach to playing. E-lottery is the smarter way to play…
