A key part of the Euromillions Euro lottery is the Loteria de Elgordo – and you would do well to learn about this part. With payouts up to 2.6 billion Euros, the lottery claims one of the world’s richest jackpots. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! With more than 13,000 prizes available, the chances of winning a prize work out to around one in every six. When you consider prizes given by competing lotteries, you’ve got to hand it to them that Elgordo’s offerings are actually rather good. There is one draw each month under the aegis of the Euromillions Euro lottery. Even richer prizes can be won at bigger drawings held during three months a year. These three bigger draws are scheduled to take place in January, summer, and at Christmas: they are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso and Elgordo, literally meaning “Fat Cat”. Unusually for lotteries, the balls required by the Elgordo lottery draw have five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. Two bowls are required, with one used in deciding a winner, the second the prize value. Should you want to get in on the action there is a full ticket known as a “serie”. Or, you can choose the more affordable option called a “décimo”, valued at one tenth of a full ticket. These options have the same chance of winning, but of course their share of the payout is proportional to what you spend at the start. For this reason the e-lottery system is used by many Euromillions Euro lotto players. With this system, you can be confident of winning a prize. Simply buy your way into the Elgordo Lottery syndicate which will then divide you up into teams. Each team is assigned a number ranging from 0-9 when the draw is made, the final digit of the winning number determines which team receives the money. Each member will then receive their share of the money. After that, subscriptions are taken ready for the draw held next month.

Some players feel a little concerned on hearing that they have to share these jackpots. The thing to remember is there’s still plenty to share out when the original prize was more than two and a half billion Euros. There’s no need to worry playing by e-lottery because you’re guaranteed to win a prize every month, and a share in the e-lottery is the cheaper approach. The syndicate is the truly smart way to go…
