On Dec 2008 e-lotto added the Spanish lottery to it’s product range, giving players globally a immensely improved opportunity of sharing in this massive Spanish lottery prize fund.

If this is the first time you have come across the Spanish Lotto, let me highlight just how crucial this lottery is to the big majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lottery has been a public obsession in Spain for a long time with immense interest generated by the Christmas draw every year. It’s a fact that 98 per cent of the population play this Spanish National lotto every Christmas.

There are a few central reasons why so many Spanish subjects join in the Christmas Elgordo lottery draw.

First Of All, on that point is the incentive of the biggest lotto prize fund of any world-wide lotto game – with over 2 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are in excess of thirteen thousand money prizes to be won. Last, the chance of picking up a money prize on the Christmas lottery draw are a extremely attainable – one : six.

With the amount of interest that is presented to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, a great deal of individuals are unaware that there is five extra Spanish Lotto draws annually too. These lotto games happen on January, March, May, July and November. Despite the fact that these five lottery games don’t boast the whopping prize fund of the Christmas draw, they are large however, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred and sixty six million Euros. In addition, these lotto games provide almost 3 times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw plus betting odds of picking up a cash prize of an staggering one in three.

The Spanish Christmas Lottery operates in a different way to almost all other worldwide drawings. A full ticket ‘billete’ is really pricey, costing two hundred Euros. However, these tickets are broken up into 10 ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros apiece.

When buying your tickets you have the choice of purchasing 1 decimo, a complete lottery ticket, or a share of a lottery ticket. If you don’t buy the whole ticket, someone else will buy the rest of your lottery ticket. E.g., if you buy 2 decimos, somebody else buys three decimos and someone else purchases five and your lottery ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will receive two hundred Euros, three hundred Euros and five hundred Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing an entire lotto ticket, it is not unusual for families and acquaintances to amalgamate their lottery cash and all buy a separate ‘decimo’ (tenth).
