The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Lottery, you absolutely need to find out more. With payouts between eighty four million and two point six billion Euros, the lottery offers one of the world’s richest jackpots. And yet there’s more. The Elgordo Lottery makes available more than thirteen thousand prizes, making for a one in six chance of winning a prize. Not bad if you hold it against what other branded lotteries will offer.

Once a month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. Grander prizes can be won at bigger lotteries held during three months around the year. Biggest of all these lotteries is “Elgordo” which is held around Xmas, while the two other special lotteries are in January (“El Nio”) and summer (“San Ildefonso”).

Unlike other lottery draw systems, the Elgordo Lottery employs balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first bowl determines the winner, the second the prize value. To enter the draw, your first option is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Also available for purchase is a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. This is the other option. Both serie and decimo have the same chance of winning, but obviously their share of the payout varies according to what you spend at the start. Because of this the Euromillions Euro Lotto has put an e-lottery system into place.

Everyone is certain to win a prize if play the e-lottery system. You just buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. Each team is assigned a number from zero to nine when the draw is made, the last number on the winning ball identifies the team that will receive the prize. An equal division of the prize amongst the team follows. Before the next lottery, the syndicate once again takes subscriptions and the e-lottery continues. The concept of sharing the jackpots is cause for concern to some people. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to share out when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. As you’re guaranteed to win once a month, the syndicate is both more cost effective and less of a worry as you know you’ll get a return. There is simply no smarter way to play…
