Going for the Elgordo Exploiting the E-Lottery System
The El Gordo Lottery is part of the Euromillions Euro lottery, but if you don’t know anymore than that there’s a lot more to discover. Famed for one of the biggest jackpots of our time, this simple game of chance offers payouts ranging from 84 million to two point six billion Euros. Nor is this the lottery’s only claim to fame! This lottery offers odds of winning something to the tune of a stunning one in six, and these prizes might be any of more than thirteen thousand different amounts. When compared with prizes being pitched by other lotteries, you’ve got to admit that El Gordo’s offerings are really extremely good!
Once per month the Euromillions Euro lottery holds its draw. But three months a year have bigger drawings for larger prizes. Richest and, expectably, the most popular of all the drawings is the Christmas lottery “El Gordo”, while the other two bigger drawings occur in January – “El Nio” – and in summer (“San Ildefonso”).
Unlike typical lottery draw systems, fat one (el gordo) Lottery employs balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. In this system, one ball is selected from a bowl to determine the winning number while a second is pulled out of the second bowl to determine the amount of the prize. Wondering how you enter this draw? There are two choices; the first is that you can buy an entire ticket, called a “serie”. You can also choose the more affordable option known as a “décimo”, which is worth one tenth of a full ticket. Both serie and decimo have the same chance to win, but of course their share of the payout is proportional to how much you spent to begin with. As a consequence the Euromillions Euro Lottery also offers an e-lottery system.
Using the e-lottery system, you can be sure that you will win a prize. Just buy into the Euromillions Euro Lottery syndicate and you’ll be pooled into teams. With each team numbered between 0 and 9, the final digit on the winning ball signifies the winning team who will go on to take the money. An equal division of the prize amongst the team follows. Afterward, subscriptions are sold for the syndicate ready for the draw the following month.
The concept of sharing the pots is cause for concern for some people. The thing to remember is there’s still a lot of money to share out when the original prize was more than two and a half billion Euros. No reason to worry with this system – you’re guaranteed to win a prize during each draw, and on top of that a place in the e-lottery is the more affordable way to go. It’s the best way to play the Euromillions Euro lotto…
