A major event within the Euromillions Euro lottery is the El Gordo Lottery - and you would do well to know more about this part. Boasting one of the most substantial jackpots of our time, this game of chance offers pots ranging from eighty-four million to 2.6 billion Euros. And yet there’s more. The chances of becoming a prize winner are as high as one in six, and these prizes might be any of more than thirteen thousand different amounts. That’s very good when compared to the prizes offered by other lotteries. In the Euromillions Euro lotto one draw is made every month. Three months a year play host to special draws promising way more substantive prizes. These bigger lotteries are scheduled to take place in January, summer, and at Christmas; respectively, these are El Nio, San Ildefonso and El Gordo, literally: “the fatso”. Balls each numbered between 00,000 and 84,999 are not part of a standard lottery system, but this draw employs an unusual approach using them. One ball apiece is drawn from two bowls; the first draw indicates the winning ticket, while the second determines the prize value. To enter the draw, your first option is a full ticket, known as a “serie”. Also available is a “décimo”, which is worth one-tenth of a full ticket. This is your other option. Sadly, both options are expensive ways to play and neither of the two will boost your odds of a win. As a consequence the Euromillions Euro Lotto also offers an e-lottery system. If you employ this system, you’re guaranteed a prize. Simply buy into the El Gordo Lotto syndicate which will then divide you up into teams. With each team assigned a number from 0-9 when the drawing is held, the final digit of the winning number identifies the team that will receive the prize. A fair division of the spoils amongst the team comes next. Everyone subscribes again for the next month’s lottery and it starts all over again.

Some people feel a little hesitant on hearing that they have to share these big payouts. What you need to keep in mind is that when the amount being divided is over two and a half billion Euros, a share is still a significant sum of money. With a guaranteed win once a month, the e-lottery is both more affordable and less of a worry as you know you’ll get a return. There’s plainly no better way to play.
