On Dec 2008 e-lottery added the Spanish lottery to its product range, affording participants globally a vastly improved opportunity of sharing in this super Spanish lotto prize fund.

If its the first time you have come across the Spanish Lotto, let me highlight just how important this lotto is to the vast majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lottery has been a national obsession in Spain for a long time with huge involvement generated by the Christmas lottery draw each year. It’s a fact that 98 per cent of the population play this Spanish National lottery each and every Christmas.

There are a few basic reasons why lot’s of Spanish nationals join in the Christmas Elgordo lotto draw.

First Off, there is the incentive of the largest lotto prize fund of any worldwide lottery game – with over 2 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are in excess of thirteen thousand money prizes to be won. Last, the probability of collecting a money prize on the Christmas draw is a highly feasible – one : six.

With the measure of interest that is devoted to the Christmas Elgordo lotto draw, lots of individuals are oblivious that there are 5 additional Spanish Lotto draws every year also. These lottery games happen in July, January and November, March and May. Even though these 5 games don’t feature the massive prize fund of the Christmas lotto draw, they are sizable however, ranging from 78 million Euros to 655 million Euros. In addition, these lotto games provide almost three times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw and betting odds of picking up a cash prize of an splendid one in three.

The Spanish Christmas Lotto operates in a different way to almost all other world drawings. A full ticket ‘billete’ is very costly, costing 200 Euros. However, these tickets are broken up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros each.

When purchasing your lottery tickets you have the option of purchasing 1 decimo, a complete lottery ticket, or a part of a lottery ticket. If you do not buy the whole lotto ticket, somebody else will buy the rest of your lottery ticket. E.g., when you buy 2 decimos, somebody else purchases 3 decimos and somebody else buys 5 and your lotto ticket wins one thousand Euros, and then you will collect two hundred Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing a full lotto ticket, it is not unusual for households and friends to united their lottery cash and all buy a separate ‘decimo’ (tenth).
