Why The El Gordo Lottery Captivates The Spanish Population
By www.thepokerking.info

If this is the first time you have heard about the El Gordo lottery, let me highlight just how crucial this lotto is to the Spanish population. The El Gordo lottery has been a national obsession in Spain for a long time with enormous interest generated by the Christmas draw each year. Believe it or not, 98% of the population play this Spanish National lottery every Christmas.

There are a few major reasons why so many Spaniards join in the Christmas El Gordo draw. Firstly, there is the incentive of the biggest lottery prize fund of any global lotto - 2.20 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are more than 13,000 cash prizes on offer. Lastly, the chances of scooping a cash prize in the Christmas draw are a highly achievable 1 in 6.

With the level of attention that is given to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, lots of individuals are not even aware that there are five additional El Gordo draws every year also. These games take place in January, March, May, July and November. Although these 5 games don't boast the huge prize fund of the Christmas game, they are sizable nonetheless, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. In addition, these games offer roughly 3 times as many prizes as the Christmas draw and odds of collecting a cash prize of a hugely achievable 1 in 3.

The Spanish Christmas Lottery operates in a different way to the majority of other lottery games. A whole ticket 'billete' is very pricey, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are divided

up into ten 'decimos' (tenths) costing 20 Euros each. When buying your tickets you have the option of buying a single decimo, a whole ticket, or a share of a ticket. If you do not purchase the complete ticket, somebody else will buy the rest of your ticket. For example, if you obtain two decimos, somebody else buys three and another buys five and your ticket scoops 1000 Euros, then you will secure 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Due to the price tag of purchasing a whole ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to amalgamate their lottery money and each person purchase a single 'decimo' (tenth).

The likelihood of scooping a cash prize in the El Gordo is excellent and you no longer have to reside in Spain to participate. You can now purchase your El Gordo tickets from a selection of reputable internet based lottery ticket sales agents regardless of where you reside globally. As a result, anybody can now revel in the excitement of this colossal Spanish National lottery.
