Finally, the odds of scooping a cash prize in the Christmas game are an excellent 1 in 6.
With the level of attention that is paid to the Christmas El Gordo lottery game, many individuals are unaware that there are 5 more El Gordo draws every year as well. These games take place in January, March, May, July and November. Although these 5 draws don't have the huge prize fund of the Christmas game, they are substantial nonetheless, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. In addition, these games offer almost three times as many prizes as the Christmas draw and odds of scooping a cash prize of a hugely achievable 1 in 3.
The Spanish Christmas Lottery operates in a different way to most worldwide lotteries. A complete ticket 'billete' is very expensive, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are split up into ten 'decimos' (tenths) each costing 20 Euros. When acquiring 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 entire ticket, somebody else will buy the remainder of your ticket. For example, if you buy two decimos, someone else buys three and someone else buys five and your ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will collect 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros correspondingly. Due to the price tag of purchasing a complete ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to pool their lotto money and each person buy a separate 'decimo' (tenth).
The probability of scooping a cash prize in the El Gordo lottery is superb and you no longer have to reside in Spain to take part. You can now buy your Elgordo tickets from a selection of reputable online lottery ticket sales agents regardless of where you live globally. As a result, anyone can now revel in the excitement of this colossal Spanish National lottery.
