The El Gordo Spanish Lottery…….2.6 BILLION to be won!!
Hi everyone,
On Monday 8th December 2008 e-Lottery will be adding the El Gordo to its portfolio of lotteries offering players around the world a vastly improved opportunity of sharing in this gigantic Spanish lottery prize fund.
If this is the first time you have heard about the El Gordo lottery, let me tell you just how important this lotto is to nearly all of the Spanish population. The El Gordo lottery has been a national institution in Spain for a long time with huge appeal generated by the Christmas lottery draw each year.
Actually, 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 – €2.6 BILLION!
Secondly, there are 13,332 cash prizes to be won. 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 five extra El Gordo draws every year as well.
These draws take place in January, March, May, July and November.
Even though these 5 games do not boast the massive prize fund of the Christmas game, they are substantial nonetheless, ranging from €78 million to €655 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 ‘Serie’ is very expensive, costing anywhere from €200 > 500.
However, these tickets are split up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) each costing €20 > 50. 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 will have a 20 times better prospect of sharing cash prizes in every draw.
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.
This is the RICHEST lottery in the world with MORE MILLIONS on offer than ANY other lottery!
Have fun and GOOD LUCK!
Pete
