El Gordo

Spanish National Lottery

In late 2008 e-Lottery added the famous El Gordo draw to its suite of lottery syndicates offering participants around the world a much greater likelihood of receiving a share in this enormous Spanish lottery prize fund.

If this is the first time you have heard about the El Gordo lottery let me point out just how important this lottery is to a large percentage of Spaniards. The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain since 1812 with massive 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 major reasons why so many Spanish nationals join in the Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the huge incentive of this lottery’s prize fund; it is the largest of any worldwide lotto game and in December 2008 stood at a mouth watering €2.20 Billion! Secondly, there are more than 13,000 cash prizes available and the chances of grabbing a cash prize in the Christmas draw are an excellent 1 in 6.

With the level of interest that is given to the Christmas El Gordo lottery game, lots of people are oblivious to the fact that there are 11 extra El Gordo type Spanish superdraws held each year as well. One of these such draws takes place each month and they all offer fantastic prize fund levels. Although these 11 superdraws do not present the astronomic prize fund of the Christmas El Gordo game, they are sizable nonetheless, ranging from €84 million to €850 million. Furthermore, these additional El Gordo type draws pay out approximately three times as many prizes as the Christmas draw; the odds are far better also standing at a hugely achievable 1 in 3 of picking up a cash prize.

The Spanish Christmas lottery operates differently to nearly all other worldwide lotteries. A whole ticket 'billete' is very expensive, costing €200. However, these tickets are divided up into ten 'decimos' (tenths) each costing €20. When purchasing your tickets you have the choice of buying one decimo, a whole ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you do not acquire the whole ticket, someone else will buy the rest of your ticket. Owing to the price tag of purchasing a complete ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to amalgamate their lotto funds and each individual buy a single 'decimo' (tenth).

The odds of scooping a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery are superb but if you decide to play as a member of one of e-Lottery's El Gordo syndicates you will experience a 20 times improved chance of winning cash prizes in each draw. In fact, every El Gordo syndicate member is guaranteed to win a cash prize at the very least in the Christmas draw. This single cash prize guarantee also applies to the two other biggest draws held in January and July each year. If you choose to join e-Lottery and participate in any of the nine other Spanish Superdraws, you are guaranteed to walk away with a share of no less than 3 cash prizes.

Discover the full advantages of playing the El Gordo or any of the other monthly Spanish superdraws as an e-Lottery syndicate member and revel in the excitement of these colossal Spanish National lottery games.
