The Elgordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if that’s all you know you should really get to learn more. Boasting one of the most generous jackpots in the world, this game of hazard offers payouts that are known to run up to 2.6 billion Euros. However that’s not all, not by a pretty long shot. There’s even more you will want to know about. With over 13,000 prizes available, the chances of winning a prize mean that there will be one winning ticket in every six. That’s very good in comparison to the prizes promoted by comparable lotteries.

Once a month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds its draw. But three months a year have special lotteries for yet bigger prizes. To wit: the January “El Nio”, the Summer “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “Elgordo” (which very aptly is Spanish for “Fatso”) with the Xmas drawing being the most substantial of the lot.

Balls numbered 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. Two bowls are required, with one used in deciding the winning number, while the second decides the amount. To enter the draw, your first choice is a full ticket, termed a “serie”. Or, you can go for the cheaper option known as a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. These choices have an equal chance of winning, but of course their share of the payout is proportional to which you bought to begin with. That is why many players of the Euromillions Euro lotto instead use the e-lottery system. Everyone is guaranteed to win a prize when participating in the e-lottery system. You are automatically sorted into a team following your buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. With each team having a number between zero and nine, the last digit on the winning number determines the winning team and they go on to take the money. The prize is then divided among the team members. Everyone subscribes again for the next month’s draw and the cycle begins again.

It’s typical to wonder whether it’s worth sharing these payoffs. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to go around when the total prize was more than two and a half billion Euros. With a guaranteed win at every draw, the syndicate system is both less of a worry and more affordable. There’s simply no better return…
