The Elgordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if that’s all you happen to know here’s some in depth information. The lottery is well-known for payouts that are among the world’s biggest - payouts as high as 2.6 billion Euros. Yet, that’s not the end of the story. There is a whole lot more to it you will want to know about. This lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, which makes for a winner for every six contestants. Stunning odds when examined in context with other international lotteries.

With the Euromillions Euro lottery one draw is made every month. But three months each year boast bigger draws for grander prizes. The most substantial of all these draws is the Xmas lottery “Elgordo” (the “Fatso”), while the other two bigger draws are in January - “El Nio” - and in summer (”San Ildefonso”). Unusually for lottery systems, the balls utilized by the Elgordo lottery draw sport five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. Under this system, one ball is drawn from a bowl to find the winning number and another ball is drawn from a second bowl to determine the prize value. Should you want to get in on the action you can buy an entire ticket known as a “serie”. You can also choose the cheaper option called a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. These choices have an equal chance to win, but of course their share of the payout varies according to which you bought to begin with. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system.

When you employ the e-lottery system, you can be sure that you will win a prize. Just buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. With each team assigned a number from 0-9 when the draw is made, the final number on the winning ball identifies the team that will receive the prize. The money is distributed among the team members. Afterward, subscriptions are taken for the syndicate ready for the draw the following month. It is natural to feel some concern as to whether it’s worth sharing these prizes. But when you consider how much over two and a half billion Euros really is, there’s still plenty to go around. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the syndicate is both less of a worry and more affordable. The e-lottery is the truly smart way to play…
