In Dec 2008 elotto added the Spanish lottery to it’s product range, granting participants globally a immensely improved 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 simply how all-important this lottery is to the large majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lotto has been a national obsession in Spain for a very long time with enormous interest generated by the Christmas draw every year. Its a fact that ninety-eight per cent of the population play this Spanish National lottery each Christmas.

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

Firstly, on that point is the incentive of the largest lottery prize fund of any worldwide lotto game - with over 2 Billion Euros! Secondly, there are in excess of 13,000 money prizes to be won. Finally, the probability of picking up a money prize in the Christmas lottery draw are a extremely attainable - 1 in 6.

With the amount of interest thats given to the Christmas Elgordo lottery draw, a good deal of people are unaware that there is five extra Spanish Lotto draws annually too. These lottery games occur in May, July, January and November and March. Despite the fact that these 5 games do not feature the enormous prize fund of the Christmas lotto draw, they are big all the same, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred & sixty six million Euros. In addition, these games provide almost three times as many prizes as the Christmas lotto draw plus betting odds of collecting a money prize of an splendid one : three.

The Christmas Spanish lottery works in a different way to nearly all other world-wide drawings. A whole lottery ticket ‘billete’ is very costly, costing 200 Euros. However, these lotto tickets are broken up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing twenty Euros each.

When buying your lottery tickets you have the choice of buying 1 decimo, a complete ticket, or a part of a lotto ticket. If you do not purchase the full lottery ticket, someone else will buy the remainder of your lotto ticket. For example, if you buy two decimos, somebody else purchases three decimos and somebody else buys five and your lottery ticket wins one thousand Euros, and then you will collect 200 Euros, 300 Euros and 500 Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing a full lottery ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to incorporate their lotto cash and all buy a separate ‘decimo’ 10th.
