Many years ago visiting some contacts in Spain around the week before Christmas I was awestruck by the interest surrounding a local ticket kiosk just off the main square of the village in which I was staying. Asking around to try and find out what the hustle and flurry was all about it was finally explained. The tumult, excitement and sheer expectation focused on the great Spanish lottery warmly known as El Gordo.
El Gordo or the Fat one is associated with Spain’s biggest and most prominent lottery. Arguably the greatest lottery in the world and certainly very few games enjoy the huge payouts which have captured the world’s attention over the years.
Effectively, there are two main tickets on sale with derivatives of each type. Probably the one game which is most famous is the Sorteo de Navidad which is drawn just a few days before Christmas, normally on the 22nd December. This has been given the nickname el Gordo and identifies itself as the biggest and the best.
The second main lottery is El Gordo de la primitiva and is drawn each Sunday with thousands of cash prizes. As you can imagine Spain is enamoured with its lotteries and tickets can be sought from over 12,000 locations across mainland Spain including the Balearic Islands.
These official lotteries are run by the main government organisation Loterias y Apuestas Del Estado and have very strict gaming practice rules and regulations to adhere to.
Historically, entire villages have championed some of the biggest prizes. One very popular venue is the small town of Sort (meaning luck).This town has a tradition of lucky winners and it has become a very popular venue to purchase tickets.
The main annual draw can take up to 3 hours as children in pairs from the famous San IIdefonso school in Madrid take in turn to sing out the winning numbers and of course the amount of prize money.
Winning numbers are drawn from gigantic golden drums before a live audience in the Grand Salon of the Spanish National Lottery in Madrid.  Children  chant loudly “Gordo! Gordo!” as they wait keenly for the huge prizes which can be in total over a staggering 2 billion Euros. The whole event is steeped in drama and pageantry as the evening unfolds. After all, the whole event has been around for over two centuries.
Just imagine winning such a wonderful lottery, sharing your gains among family and friends. It is traditional for complete tickets to be bought by a group, often an entire village with each person holding a segment of that lot. I believe the whole concept underlines the e-lottery syndicate approach which interestingly enough is becoming ever more present on the internet through specialist online facilities.
Cultural and social aspects of the Spanish make up become so apparent as the days leading up to the draw arrive. As an Italian I can relate very closely to the imagery , passion and of course sheer optimism held by the people of Spain. In the Plazas of the main towns up and down the country people gather almost in a huddle to share their dreams. Sharing their tapas and vino and tuning in to one of the great lottery spectacles in Europe if not the world. Only lately the Euro Millions lottery has made some very small in roads in to the big prize mentality but has a long way to go before it becomes as prestigious as El Gordo.
Above all, the whole event taking place just before Christmas I believe adds to the magic and beautifully blends in with all the partying at that time of year. I often wonder if it would have the same effect if drawn in the middle of July, I doubt it. El Gordo is certainly the Fat One in many senses and directions.

Just the other evening I had dinner with two of my elottery up line who have been absolutley fantastic over the past few months in helping me establish the foundations of my business.Both Gavin and Tom are top recruiters in VWD and listening to their ideas and more importantly the sheer hard work they administer was very inspirational.

Elottery syndicates and playing lotto games on line is as you can imagine a massive sector and will continue to grow.Euro millions is a great example of this and I always maintain that being part of a syndicate dramatically increase your syndicates chances of winning.Simple fact and there is the mathematical explaination on the site as well.

The greater European economic area covers many borders, cultures and languages. Interestingly and with great communality the National Lottery theme is ever present in most if not all of these locations.

The Euro Millions lottery enjoyed every Friday evening is a wonderful example of nations unilaterally pooling together with one common goal. Players from the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland and Spain all contributing to a very attractive and lucrative Jackpot which on average is estimated to be between £ 8 million  to £ 11 million pounds sterling. Of course the occasional has had some gigantic prize monies which often are shared among all winners.

As a player, I have played both the Euro Millions and UK National Lotteries and have significantly increased my chances of winning by participating in a well structured and defined syndicate system. The ease of playing these games of chance online through an excellent e-lottery platform provides a high degree of clarity, a great visual presence and of course guaranteed Bonus Balls and Lucky Star numbers.

The mathematical explanation of how and why this works is probably beyond this article, however, a full and detailed explanation can be found on the website.

On a personal note, the European theme and the whol of lotteries actually figured heavily in my academic studies let me explain. As a young student of Spanish literature I read and studied the fascinating work of Alejandro Buellejo called “ Hoy es Fiesta “ - who could have imagined that my  involvement in a state of the art e-lottery syndicate would bring me and my thoughts back to my student days.

For every one of us who engages in the act of purchasing lottery tickets , albeit for El Gordo in Spain, the UK National lottery or many of the other Lotto’s, will know and recognise that feeling when the numbers are being called. It is this emotion upon which the very moving literary work is based. Breath taking, poignant and ultimately soul searching. Immersing your thoughts in the escapism of winning with those “ Resultados Milliones” arriving one after each other. You’re most fantastic dreams and wishes vivid in the imagination. For this very reason alone, I will always play the lottery.

The story line accentuates hope, despair and more importantly the joy of taking part. I hope you all have the privilege of reading this exceptionally fine work one day.

The main European lotteries each have their own history and special fabric. The Lotto is normally centred on the selection of numbers corresponding to those drawn. Each version has its own twist such as La Primitiva with El Gordo in Spain and as mentioned earlier, Bonus Balls and Lucky star numbers in the respective UK National and Euro Millions lotteries. The e-lottery platforms are also several with the Virtual World Direct organisation based in North Wales, United Kingdom offering through it’s independent  associates “ Top Draw”  facilities of player engagement. Colourful, vibrant and with technology articulate pages gives the lottery player a sense of effective play. Easy to purchase tickets in to the syndicate system giving weekly or monthly options accommodates most tastes.

Europe is getting bigger and more culturally diverse. Lotteries will always be a part of this; literature has even featured in the mystic that sometimes surrounds this game of chance.

I therefore leave you with this one thought - Chance is but an event which presents itself -  take the chance and enjoy the outcome - Who Knows?

I always  remember as a young student reading that wonderful work ” Hoy es Fiesta ” which gave a great understanding of hope but also despair when hope is tragically taken away from you.

The story line set in a small spanish village where neighbours for a brief moment dream of the fantastic things that are about to happen to their lives having won ” El Gordo” , Spain’s and the World’s biggest and most lucrative lottery. The ” Fat one ” certainly lives up to its billing.

The european centred ” Euro Millions” provides a great back drop to the Spanish lottery and it has been confirmed that another Lottery will be added to the already extremely succesful UK National Lottery and Euro Millions.Who knows which one it might be….just imagine if it is the lottery of all lotteries…….Being able to play through a syndicate would be amazing…

 By the way …I’ll keep you posted and yes it is a fabulous read

Look in to it for yourself and satisfy your curiosty
