The Elgordo Loteria is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if that’s all you’ve ever heard that’s a bit thin. Noted for offering one of the world’s richest jackpots, this simple game of hazard offers pots that are known to run up to 2.6 billion Euros. However that’s not the end of the story. There’s lots more to it you will want to know. In this lottery the odds of winning something are an amazing one in six, and these prizes can be any of over thirteen thousand different amounts. Astonishing odds when looked at in context with other branded lotteries.

Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds one draw. But three months each year are scheduled for bigger draws for yet bigger prizes. Richest (and the most popular) of all these drawings is “fat cat” “Elgordo” which is held around Xmas, while the two other special lotteries are set for January - “El Nio” - and in the summer (”San Ildefonso”).

Unlike typical lottery draw systems, the Elgordo lottery uses balls sporting five digits apiece in a range from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw a ball is drawn from a bowl to identify the winning number and another ball is drawn from the second bowl to determine the prize value. Thinking of entering this draw? There are two choices; first, you can buy a “serie” or a full ticket. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” worth one tenth of a full ticket. Sadly, both options are comparatively expensive ways to play and neither of them will ramp up your odds of a win. For this reason the e-lottery scheme is popular with many Euromillions Euro lotto players. When you employ this system, you are guaranteed to win a prize. All you do is buy into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate and they’ll pool you into teams. With each team assigned a number from zero to nine when the draw is made, the final number on the winning ball identifies the team that will receive the prize. Each member will then receive their share of the prize. Everyone then renews their subscription for the draw the following month and it starts all over again.

It’s typical to wonder whether it’s worth sharing these prizes. But when you take into account how much 2.6 billion Euros is actually worth, there’s still lots of money to go around. You’ll find the syndicate e-lottery program is far more cost effective, and knowing that you’ll win something every month, there are no worries about losing all the time. E-lottery is the smart strategy…
