The recent warm sun shine can only prompt me of the great time I passed in Spain when I was researching El Gordo de La Primitiva and the entire Spanish lottery movement. The backdrop to all of this in fact commenced with my participation with the highly developed e-lottery syndicate platform shaped by VWD in early 2002. Accordingly it has taken me across many of the Euro Lotto boundaries and has given me an excellent insight in to the mechanics and make up of the key lotteries in Europe including, the UK Nationallottery, Euromillions and many more creative Lotto.
The whole Spanish National Lottery system is made up of the monthly draw which includes the mid summer Sorteo Extraordinario on July 4th and the prestigious El Gordo Christmas draw in the celebratory month of December. Moreover El Gordo de La Primitiva standsextremely highly among the loterias of Spain and as a end result enjoys some tremendous cash prize funds.
My survey in Spain went across many assorted socio- economic groups and often demonstrated a shared acknowledgement of the love and passion for the National lottery of Spain. Many people were very willing to recount their own wonderful tales of how their decimo won hundreds and in a number of cases thousands of Euros. It was also extraordinarily apparent that the build up to every lottery draw in itself accumulated national attention and it was ONLAE Spain’s largest national lottery organisation that was the crucial point for the entire analysis.
The game upon which El Gordo de La Primitiva is based is a square of numbers from which a selection is chosen. This variety is then supported by numbers from a second box. Anticipated jackpot prize cash amounts are estimated to be around Euro 14 millions which compared to the other major lottery draws is very sizeable. The daily play and weekend Sunday draw make this a fabulous spectacle and therefore merits the history and pageantry upon which it has developed.
The beginning of my review examined at the many Spanish Lottery types as well as the celebrated Jogossantacasa in Portugal which is also a very well connected euro lottery site. Quite interestingly similar appreciationsand emotions were conveyed by the playing public with players in the respective countries often travelling over the national lottery borders to get tickets from their neighbour’s national lottery draws.
Given my findings I can articulate that the national amusement may well consist of the obvious such as Bull fighting, eating paella together with many more Spanish type things. Nevertheless it was the El Gordo lottery theme and its constituent parts which really astonished me and left with a avenue of indulgent deference for it. The tasteand emotionand of course the total lottery Spanish lotto programwent on to assist this claim and eventually left me very emotional and sad to leave behind this magnificent lottery playing country. Optimistically I will go again soon to enjoy La Primitiva and even the results shows for the key lotteries at whatever time of year as the entire scene is just fanatastic.
