El Gordo eLottery
The World’s Biggest Prize Fund Lottery
In December 2008 VWD added the El Gordo eLottery syndicate to its suite of lotteries, giving individuals worldwide a vastly improved opportunity of receiving a share in this huge Spanish lottery prize fund.
If this is the first time you have heard about the Elgordo lottery, let me highlight just how big a deal this lottery is to the vast majority of the Spanish population. The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain since 1812 with enormous interest generated by the Christmas draw each year. Believe it or not, 98% of the population play this Spanish National lottery every Christmas.
There are several fundamental reasons why so many Spaniards partake in the Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the incentive of the biggest lotto prize fund of any worldwide lottery game – 2.20 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are 13,332 cash prizes to be won. Lastly, the chances of grabbing a cash prize in the Christmas draw are a very generous 1 in 6.
With the level of interest that is paid to the Christmas El Gordo lottery game, loads of people are unaware that there are 5 additional El Gordo draws every year also. These take place in January, March, May, July and November. Even though these five games do not enjoy the massive prize fund of the Christmas game, they are considerable nonetheless, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. In addition, these games present almost 3 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 the majority of other worldwide lotteries. A whole ticket ‘billete’ is very expensive, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are split up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) each costing 20 Euros. When buying your tickets you have the choice of purchasing one decimo, a complete ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you don’t acquire the whole ticket, somebody else will buy the rest of your ticket. For example, if you obtain two decimos, somebody else buys three and somebody else buys five decimos and your ticket scoops 1000 Euros, then you will secure 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Due to the outlay of buying a complete ticket, it is very common for families and friends to pool their lottery funds and each person purchase a single ‘decimo’ (tenth).
The odds of collecting a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery are excellent but if you choose to play as a member of the El Gordo eLottery syndicate you will hold a 20 times better chance of sharing cash prizes in each draw.
Discover the range of benefits of playing when you join the El Gordo eLottery syndicate system and revel in the excitement of this monstrous Spanish National lottery.
