El Gordo Syndicates
Spanish Lottery
In December 2008 eLottery added the
El Gordo to its
suite of lotteries offering players around the world a vastly improved
opportunity of sharing in this colossal Spanish lottery prize fund.
If this is the first time you have heard about the El Gordo lottery, let me
highlight just how important this lotto is to the large majority of Spaniards.
The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain for a long time with
massive appeal generated by the Christmas draw each year. In fact, 98% of the
population play this Spanish National lottery each Christmas.
There are a few major reasons why so many Spanish people play a part in the
Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the incentive of the biggest lottery
prize fund of any worldwide lotto - 2.20 Billion! Secondly, there are 13,332
cash prizes to be won. Finally, the odds of grabbing a cash prize in the
Christmas draw are a very generous 1 in 6.
With the level of attention that is given to the Christmas El Gordo
lottery game, a lot of people are oblivious to the fact that there are 11
additional El
Gordo type superdraws every year as well. One superdraw takes place each month
and although the El Gordo has by far the largest prize fund, the 11 other draws
are substantial nonetheless, with prize funds ranging from 84 million to 850 million. Furthermore, these draws offer approximately 3 times as
many prizes as the Christmas draw and odds of collecting a cash prize of an
amazing 1 in 3.
The Spanish Christmas lottery operates in a different way to the majority of
other worldwide lotteries. A complete ticket 'billete' is very expensive,
costing 200. However, these tickets are split up into ten 'decimos' (tenths)
each costing 20. When buying your tickets you have the choice of buying a
single decimo, a full ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you don't buy the whole
ticket, someone else will buy the rest of your ticket. For example, if you
obtain two decimos, somebody else buys three decimos and someone else buys five
and your ticket collects 1000, then you will secure 200, 300 and 500
respectively. Due to the expense of purchasing a whole ticket, it is very common
for families and friends to pool their lotto money and each person buy a
separate 'decimo' (tenth).
The chances of winning a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery are excellent but if
you opt to play as a member of one of e-Lottery's
El Gordo syndicates
you are guaranteed to win at least 1 prize. You are also guaranteed
to win a prize in both the July summer draw as well as the January El Nino draw.
In the nine other 84 million prize fund superdraws, e-Lottery guarantees that
you share no less than 3 prizes.
Come and discover the full advantages of playing the El Gordo as an e-Lottery
syndicate member and revel in the excitement of this mammoth Spanish National
lottery. If you can not wait for the El Gordo to come round again, you can
now play in your choice of 11 other
Spanish National Lottery Superdraws as a member of an e-Lottery
