The Excitement Of The El Gordo Lottery

During December 2008 eLottery will be adding the El Gordo to its product range giving individuals worldwide a much greater probability of sharing in this mammoth Spanish lottery prize fund.

If this is the first time you have heard about the Elgordo lottery, allow me to point out just how important this lottery is to the vast majority of the Spanish population. The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain since way back in December 1812 with massive appeal generated by the Christmas draw each year. Believe it or not, 98% of the population play this Spanish National lottery every Christmas.

There are a few fundamental reasons why so many Spanish people play a part in the Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the incentive of the biggest lotto prize fund of any international lotto game - 2.20 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are in excess of 13,000 cash prizes available. Lastly, the probability of winning a cash prize in the Christmas draw are a highly achievable 1 in 6.

With the level of interest that is paid to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, many people are unaware that there are 5 extra El Gordo draws every year as well. These take place in January, March, May, July and November. While these five draws do not give rise to the massive prize fund of the Christmas draw, they are substantial nonetheless, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. What's more, these games present approximately 3 times as many prizes as the Christmas draw and odds of picking up a cash prize of an amazing 1 in 3.

The Spanish Christmas Lottery works differently to nearly all other international lotteries. A whole ticket 'billete' is very expensive, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are divided up into ten 'decimos' (tenths) each costing 20 Euros. When purchasing your tickets you have the choice of purchasing a single decimo, a complete ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you don't acquire the whole ticket, somebody else will buy the remainder of your ticket. For example, if you buy two decimos, somebody else purchases three decimos and somebody else buys five and your ticket collects 1000 Euros, then you will collect 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros correspondingly. Owing to the expense of purchasing a whole ticket, it is typical for families and friends to pool their lottery cash and each person buy a separate 'decimo' (tenth).

The likelihood of collecting a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery are tremendous but if you opt to play as a member of one of e-Lottery's El Gordo syndicates you will receive a 20 times improved prospect of winning cash prizes in every draw.

Unveil the full benefits of playing the El Gordo as a member of an e-Lottery syndicate and revel in the excitement of this gigantic Spanish National lottery.
