E-Lottery and the Elgordo Lotto - the Secret Sauce
November 17th, 2009
The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the El Gordo Loteria, you’ll certainly want to know more. Boasting one of the largest jackpots in the world, this simple wager offers payouts of between eighty four million and two point six billion Euros. Nor is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! With more than 13,000 prizes being offered your odds of winning something work out to around one in every six. Not bad at all if you hold it against what comparable lotteries can part with.
Once a month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds its draw. Three months each year see special lotteries guaranteeing still more substantive prizes. Specifically, these drawings are the January “El Nio”, Summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “El Gordo” (which quite aptly is translated as “Fatso”) with Christmas’s El Gordo drawing being the most substantial and popular of the twelve.
Unlike other lottery draw systems, the El Gordo Lottery uses balls with five digits printed on each in a range from 00,000 to 84,999. Two bowls are employed, with one used to decide a winner, the second the prize value.
Should you want to get in on the action you can get an entire ticket known as a “serie”. You can also choose a cheaper option called a “décimo”, worth one-tenth of a full ticket. Neither alternative is particularly cheap, though, and obviously neither has an optimal chance of being a winner. This is the reason that the e-lottery scheme is used by many Euromillions Euro lottery players. This system guarantees a prize to everyone who takes part. All you do is buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate and they’ll divide you into teams. Each team is assigned an identifying number from 1-9, the last number on the winning ball in the draw identifying the team that wins the money. This prize is distributed among the members. Before next month’s draw, the syndicate once again takes subscriptions and the e-lottery continues. Some players feel concerned on hearing that they would have to share these big pots. What you need to keep in mind is that when the amount being divided is more than two and a half billion Euros, a share is still a significant return. With a guaranteed win each month, the e-lottery syndicate is both more cost effective and less of a worry as you know you’ll get a return. It’s the smartest way to play the Euromillions Euro lotto…
