A key part of the Euromillions Euro lottery is the Elgordo Lottery – and you should want to know more about this part. With payouts that can be as high as 2.6 billion Euros, the lottery offers one of the biggest jackpots in the world. Even that isn’t all that’s remarkable here. The Elgordo Lottery makes available more than 13,000 prizes, which makes for a winner for every six contestants. When you consider the prizes given by other lotteries, you’ve got to admit that Elgordo’s offerings aren’t bad.

Each month the Euromillions Euro lotto holds one draw. But three months a year are devoted to bigger lotteries for larger prizes. These include January’s “El Nio”, Summer’s “San Ildefonso”, and held around Christmas, “Elgordo” (which, appropriately, is translated as: “the Fat One”) with the Xmas draw being the most substantial of the twelve.

Unlike other lottery systems, the Elgordo Lottery uses balls sporting five digits apiece ranging from 00,000 to 84,999. During the draw a ball is drawn from a bowl to identify the winning number while a second is pulled out of the second bowl to determine the value of the prize.

Should you want to have a chance to win there is an entire ticket known as a “serie”. Also available for purchase is a “décimo”, worth one tenth of a full ticket. This is the other option. Unfortunately, both options are comparatively pricy ways to play and neither of them improves your chance of a win in any case. For this reason the e-lottery scheme is popular with many Euromillions Euro lottery players.

When you buy into this system, you can be confident of winning a prize. You will automatically be assigned a team when you buy in to the Elgordo Lottery syndicate. Each team is assigned an identifying number from zero to nine, the last digit of the winning number in the draw being used to identify the team that will win the money. All members then receive their share of the prize. Following that, subscriptions are offered ready for the draw held next month.

Some players are a little concerned when they hear that they would have to share these big payouts. The thing is, there’s still plenty to share out when the total prize was 2.6 billion Euros. With a guaranteed win at every draw, the syndicate system is both less of a worry and more affordable. It’s the smart way to play the Euromillions Euro lotto…
