  El Gordo ­ The Fat One


There are lots of Lotteries in the World.  Whatever you normally play, the Spanish Lottery El Gordo will get your attention.  

Beware though - the only REAL EL GORDO is the Spanish one, held each July and December.  If you are contacted about an 'El Gordo' that you have 'won (even though you didn't buy a ticket), be very careful about sending any money.  There are a lot of bogus notifications sent out each month concerning a huge prize that has been won.  These are fraudulent, and will ultimately lead to a demand for money up front.  If you are contacted like this, contract your police department.

Even if you only played this lottery on its two draw dates (remember - ONLY in July and December of each year), you will still be playing for spectacular amounts of money.  It does not pay out the largest single prizes, but it certainly pays out a lot of significant prizes.

There are thousands of prizes.  Take a look at all of them:
    

DIVISION PRIZES RESULT TOTAL
PAYOUT (US$)
First 1 Match all 5 digits of the 1st Prize Ticket Number $15,711,000
Second 1 Match all 5 digits of the 2nd Prize Ticket Number $7,853,000
Third 4 Match 4 drawn numbers from the 3rd Prize Ticket Number $520,000
Fourth 1800 Match the 3 bonus numbers with your ticket's last 3 numbers.  $17,684,000
Fifth 5000 Match the 2 bonus numbers with your ticket's last 2 numbers. $19,641,000
Misc. 2 One digit higher or lower than the 1st Prize Ticket Number. $293,000
2 One digit higher or lower than the 2nd Prize Ticket Number. $242,000
198 Match the first 3 digits from either 1st or 2nd Prize Ticket. $3,891,000
198 Match the last 3 digits from either 1st or 2nd Prize Ticket. $2,912,000
1998 Match the last 2 digits from either 1st or 2nd Prize Ticket. $9,814,000
9,999 Match the last digit from the 1st Prize Ticket Number. $19,647,000
20,000 Miscellaneous Other Prizes. $39,290,000

* These amounts are based upon the published prize list for the July, 2000, drawing.

So can you participate in this Spanish El Gordo?  Yes, you certainly can, but it isn't going to be cheap.  If you ever go to Spain, it will be a lot cheaper.

Going to the Spanish Internet site itself is fine if you can read Spanish.  There is now an engish site available here.  The alternative of going to Spain to pick up a couple of tickets can almost pay for itself - that's how much more expensive it is to buy through an agent.

This draw is only held twice each year, in July and December.  They always sell out of tickets, so get in early if you plan on participating.

OK?  Thanks ...
