The El Gordo Lottery is a part of the Euromillions Euro lotto, but if that’s all you’ve heard that’s definitely not enough. Boasting payouts up to two point six billion Euros, the El Gordo Lottery offers one of the biggest jackpots worldwide. Even that is not all that’s special here. This lottery makes available more than thirteen thousand prizes, making for a one in six chance of winning a prize. That’s very good when compared to the prizes featured by comparable lotteries. Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds a draw. Even bigger prizes can be won at featured draws held during three months around the year. To be precise: the January “El Nio”, the Summer “San Ildefonso”, and the Xmas “El Gordo” aka “the fatso”, with the Christmas drawing being the biggest of the 12. In an atypical approach to draws, the balls used in the El Gordo lottery draw sport five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. In this system, a ball is drawn from a bowl to determine the winning number and another ball is drawn from the second bowl to decide the value of the prize. Should you want to get in on the action you can buy an entire ticket called a “serie”. Or, you can choose the cheaper option called a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. Neither alternative is particularly cheap, however, 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 lotto players.
This system can guarantee a prize for every participant. You just buy your way into the El Gordo Lotto syndicate where you’re pooled into teams. With each team numbered between 0 and 9, the final digit on the winning ball picks the winning team and they go on to take the money. A fair distribution of the spoils amongst the team comes next. Everyone subscribes again for the next month’s draw and the cycle begins again. It’s typical to wonder whether it would be worth sharing the pots. But when you take into account how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money for everybody. As you’re guaranteed to win each month, the syndicate is both more cost effective and less stress as you can be certain of a return. The syndicate is the truly smart way to go.
