Do You Prefer the Spanish Lotto or the Euro Lotto
In December 2008 elotto brought the Spanish lotto to it’s product range, affording players globally a immensely bettered chance of sharing in this giant Spanish lottery prize fund.
If its the first time you have come across the Spanish Lotto, allow me to highlight simply how all-important this lottery is to the big majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lotto has been a public obsession in Spain for a long time with massive interest generated by the Christmas lotto draw every year. Its a fact that ninety-eight% of the population play this Spanish National lotto each and every Christmas.
There are a couple of central sound reasons why so many Spanish nationals join in the Christmas Elgordo lottery draw.
Firstly, on that point is the incentive of the biggest lottery prize fund of any international lottery game – with over 2 Billion Euros! Second, there are in excess of 13,000 cash prizes to be won. Last, the probability of picking up a cash prize in the Christmas lotto draw is a highly attainable – one in six.
With the amount of interest thats dedicated to the Christmas Elgordo lottery draw, a good deal of individuals are unaware that there is 5 extra Spanish Lottery draws each year too. These lottery games happen on November, March, May, July and January. Even though these five games don’t boast the gigantic prize fund of the Christmas lottery draw, they are sizable nevertheless, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred & sixty six million Euros. In addition, these lottery games offer nearly three times as many prizes as the Christmas lottery draw plus betting odds of collecting a cash prize of an impressive one : three.
The Christmas Spanish lottery functions in a different way to virtually all other worldwide drawings. A full lottery ticket ‘billete’ is very pricey, costing 200 Euros. However, these lottery tickets are divided up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros apiece.
When buying your tickets you have the choice of buying 1 decimo, a complete ticket, or a share of a lotto ticket. If you do not purchase the full lottery ticket, somebody else will purchase the remainder of your ticket. For example, when you buy 2 decimos, someone else buys 3 decimos and someone else buys 5 and your lottery ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will receive 200 Euros, three hundred Euros and five hundred Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing a whole ticket, it is not unusual for families and acquaintances to mix their lotto money and each purchase a separate ‘decimo’ (tenth).
