Here’s How to Play the Spanish Elgordo the Profitable Way

The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo Lottery, you’ll certainly want to learn more. Boasting one of the world’s largest jackpots, this game of chance offers pots that are known to run up to two point six billion Euros. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame. With more than thirteen thousand prizes being offered, your odds of winning something work out to around one per every six. That’s a remarkable rate when examined in the context of other lotteries. There is one draw per month in the Euromillions Euro lottery. Three months a year play host to special drawings featuring even grander prizes. Largest and most popular of all the drawings is “Elgordo” which is held around Christmas, while the two other bigger drawings occur in January – “El Nio” – and the summer (“San Ildefonso”).

Unusually for lotteries, the balls used in the Elgordo lottery display five digits on each, in a numerical range from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw a ball is drawn from a bowl to find the winning number while a second is pulled out of the second bowl to decide the prize value.

To enter the lottery, one option is a full ticket, called a “serie”. The other option is cheaper; called a “décimo” which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. Sadly, both both of these choices are expensive ways to play and they don’t better your prospects of a payout. As a result the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system. This system guarantees a prize for everyone who takes part. All you do is buy into the Euromillions Euro Lotto syndicate and they’ll sort you into teams. Each team is assigned a number from zero to nine, the last number on the winning ball in the draw identifying the team that will receive the payoff. An equal division of the prize amongst the team comes next. Afterward, subscriptions are offered for the syndicate ready for the next drawing.

Some players are a little hesitant when they hear that they would have to share these big pots. The thing is, there’s still a lot of money to go around when the total prize was over two and a half billion Euros. With a guaranteed win at every draw, the syndicate system is both less of a worry and more affordable. The syndicate is the truly smart way to play…
