In Dec 2008 eLottery brought the Spanish lottery to it’s product range, giving players globally a immensely improved opportunity of partaking in this giant Spanish lottery prize fund.

If this is the first time you have come across the Spanish Lotto, allow me to highlight just how important this lotto is to the vast majority of the Spanish population. The Spanish lotto has been a public obsession in Spain for a long time with enormous involvement generated by the Christmas draw each year. Believe it or not ninety-eight per cent of the population play this Spanish National lotto each and every Christmas.

There are a couple of central sound reasons why lot’s of Spanish subjects join in the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw.

Firstly, on that point is the incentive of the biggest lotto prize fund of any international lotto game – with over 2 Billion Euros! Second, there are more than 13 thousand cash prizes to be won. Last, the probability of accumulating a money prize in the Christmas lotto draw is a highly attainable – 1 in 6.

With the measure of interest thats given to the Christmas El Gordo lottery draw, a great deal of people are oblivious that there is 5 extra Spanish Lottery draws yearly as well. These lottery games take place in May, July, January and November and March. Even though these 5 lotto games don’t feature the tremendous prize fund of the Christmas lottery draw, they are large all the same, ranging from seventy eight million Euros to six hundred & sixty six million Euros. Plus, these games offer almost 3 times as many prizes as the Christmas lottery draw plus betting odds of collecting a cash prize of an awesome one : three.

The Spanish Christmas Lotto operates in a different way to virtually all other worldwide lotteries. A full lottery ticket ‘billete’ is very pricey, costing two hundred Euros. However, these lotto tickets are broken up into ten ‘decimos’ (tenths) costing 20 Euros each.

When purchasing your lottery tickets you have the option of purchasing one decimo, a complete lottery ticket, or a share of a lottery ticket. If you do not buy the entire lottery ticket, somebody else will buy the remainder of your lotto ticket. For example, when you purchase 2 decimos, someone else purchases three decimos and someone else purchases five and your lotto ticket wins one thousand Euros, and then you will receive two hundred Euros, 300 Euros and five hundred Euros respectively. Owing to the expense of purchasing a whole ticket, it is not uncommon for families and friends to mix their lotto cash and all buy a separate ‘decimo’ (tenth).
