Spanish National Lottery

You can now buy your El Gordo tickets from wherever you live worldwide via web-based lottery ticket platforms. With the introduction of lottery ticket sales agents such as The Lotter, you can now play over 50 of the biggest worldwide lotteries, including the El Gordo, regardless of which country you live in.

If this is the first time you have heard about the El Gordo lottery, let me highlight just how crucial this Spanish lottery is to the vast majority of Spain’s people. The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain since way back in December 1812 with huge appeal generated by the Christmas draw every year. The excitement is such that, 98% of the population play this Spanish National lottery every Christmas.

There are a few underlying reasons why so many Spaniards participate in the Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the incentive of the biggest lottery prize fund of any international lotto game - €2.20 Billion! Secondly, there are in excess of 13,000 cash prizes available. Finally, the likelihood of winning a cash prize in the Christmas game is a highly achievable 1 in 6.

With the level of interest that is given to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, many people are oblivious to the fact that there are five further El Gordo draws each year as well. These draws take place in January, March, May, July and November. While these 5 games do not have the huge prize fund of the Christmas game, they are substantial nonetheless, ranging from €78 million to €655 million. Furthermore, these draws present approximately three times as many prizes as the Christmas draw and odds of picking up a cash prize of a hugely achievable 1 in 3.

The Spanish Christmas Lottery operates differently to most international lotteries. A whole El Gordo ticket 'billete' is very pricey, costing €200. However, these tickets are split up into ten 'decimos' (tenths) each costing €20. When purchasing your El Gordo tickets you have the option of buying 1 decimo, a whole ticket, or a portion of a ticket. If you do not buy the complete ticket, somebody else will purchase the remainder of your ticket. For example, if you obtain two decimos, someone else buys three decimos and someone else buys five decimos and your ticket scoops €1000, you will secure €200, €300 and €500 respectively. Owing to the expense of buying one of the pricey El Gordo tickets, it is not uncommon for families and friends to bring together their lottery money and each individual buy a single 'decimo' (tenth).

The odds of scooping a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery are excellent so why don’t you pick up your El Gordo tickets ahead of the next draw.
