The first time you hear about the part of the Euromillions Euro lotto that is the Elgordo lottery, you absolutely need to learn more. Boasting payouts that can be as high as more than two and a half billion Euros, the lottery offers one of the world’s richest jackpots. And neither is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! This lottery puts more than 13,000 prizes up for grabs, which will give you a one in six chance to win a prize. When compared with the prizes given by other lotteries, that’s nothing to be scorned.

Each month the Euromillions Eurolottery holds one draw. Richer prizes can be won at featured draws held three months a year. The 3 bigger draws are hosted in January, summer, and around Christmas: they are, in order, El Nio, San Ildefonso and Elgordo also known as “Fatso”.

Unusually for lotteries, the balls used in the Elgordo lottery draw have five digits on each, these numbers ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first bowl determines the winning ticket, the second the prize value. To enter the draw, your first choice is a full ticket, called a “serie”. You can also choose the more affordable option called a “décimo”, valued at one-tenth of a full ticket. Sadly, both these choices are costly ways to play nor will either boost your odds of winning anyway. This is the reason that the e-lottery scheme is used by many Euromillions Euro lottery players.

This system can guarantee a prize to every participant. You just buy into the Elgordo Lotto syndicate where you’re sorted into teams. With each team having a number between 0 and 9, the last digit on the winning ball determines the winners who will go on to take the prize. An equal division of the prize among the members comes next. Before next month’s draw, the syndicate takes subscriptions once again to continue the e-lottery.

It is natural to feel some concern about whether it would be worth sharing these prizes. The thing is, there’s still plenty to go around when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. You’ll find the e-lottery program is far more affordable, and with the knowledge that you’ll share in a prize in each draw, you don’t have to worry about constantly losing. Believe me, there is no better return.
