On Dec 2008 elotto brought the Spanish lottery to it’s product range, affording players globally a immensely bettered chance of partaking in this immense Spanish lotto prize fund.

If it’s the first time you have come across the Spanish Lotto, let me highlight just how measurable this lottery is to the wide majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lotto has been a public obsession in Spain for a very long time with tremendous interest generated by the Christmas lotto draw each year. Believe it or not 98 per cent of the population play this Spanish National lottery each Christmas.

There are a couple of great sound reasons why lots of Spanish subjects join in the Christmas El Gordo lotto draw.

First Off, there is the inducement of the largest lottery prize fund of any worldwide lotto game – 2.20 Billion Euros! Second, there are in excess of 13,000 cash prizes to be won. Finally, the chance of collecting a cash prize in the Christmas draw is a extremely feasible – 1 : 6.

With the amount of interest that is afforded to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, a good deal of individuals are oblivious that there is 5 extra Spanish Lottery draws annually too. These lottery games occur in November, March, May, July and January. Despite the fact that these five lotto games do not boast the huge prize fund of the Christmas lotto draw, they are sizable nevertheless, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred & sixty six million Euros. Also, these games offer virtually 3 times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw plus betting odds of picking up a money prize of an awesome one in three.

The Spanish Christmas Lottery functions in an unusual way to almost all other world-wide lotteries. A full lottery ticket ‘billete’ is very costly, costing 200 Euros. However, these lottery tickets are broken up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing twenty Euros apiece.

When buying your lotto tickets you have the choice of purchasing 1 decimo, a complete ticket, or a part of a ticket. If you don’t buy the whole lotto ticket, someone else will buy the rest of your lottery ticket. For Instance, when you buy two decimos, somebody else buys 3 decimos and someone else buys 5 and your lotto ticket wins 1000 Euros, then you will collect two hundred Euros, three hundred Euros and five hundred Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of buying a whole ticket, it is not uncommon for households and friends to incorporate their lottery money and all purchase a separate ‘decimo’ 10th.
