Do You Prefer the Spanish National Lottery or the Euro Millions
- March 21st, 2009
On December 2008 e-lottery added the Spanish National lottery to its product range, affording participants globally a immensely bettered chance of sharing in this immense Spanish lotto prize fund.
If its the first time you have come across the Spanish Lottery, allow me to highlight simply how crucial this lotto is to the vast majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lottery has been a national obsession in Spain for a very long time with immense involvement generated by the Christmas draw every year. Believe it or not ninety-eight% of the population play this Spanish National lottery every Christmas.
There are a couple of great reasons why so many Spanish subjects join in the Christmas El Gordo draw.
First Off, on that point is the inducement of the largest lottery prize fund of any international lotto game – 2.20 Billion Euros! Second, there are more than 13,000 money prizes to be won. Lastly, the probability of picking up a money prize on the Christmas lottery draw is a extremely attainable – 1 : 6.
With the amount of interest thats given to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, a good deal of people are oblivious that there is five additional Spanish Lottery draws each year as well. These lotto games happen in January, March, May, July and November. Even though these five games do not boast the huge prize fund of the Christmas draw, they are big all the same, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. Plus, these games offer virtually three times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw plus odds of collecting a money prize of an staggering one in three.
The Christmas Spanish lottery works in a different way to virtually all other worldwide drawings. A whole lotto ticket ‘billete’ is very costly, costing two hundred Euros. However, these lottery tickets are broken up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros each.
When purchasing your lottery tickets you have the choice of buying one decimo, a complete lotto ticket, or a part of a lotto ticket. If you do not purchase the full lottery ticket, somebody else will buy the remainder of your ticket. For Instance, if you purchase two decimos, somebody else purchases three decimos and someone else purchases five and your lotto ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will receive 200 Euros, three hundred Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of buying an entire lottery ticket, it is not unusual for families and friends to mix their lottery money and each purchase a separate ‘decimo’ 10th.
