The recent warm sun shine can only prompt me of the glorious time I enjoyed in Spain when I was researching El Gordo de La Primitiva and the complete Spanish lottery movement. The backdrop to all of this really commenced with my involvement with the highly developed e-lottery syndicate program shaped by VWD in early 2002. Consequently it has taken me around many of the Euro Lotto boundaries and has shown me an excellent insight in to the workings and make up of the major lotteries in Europe including, the UK Nationallottery, Euromillions and many more functioning Lotto.
The entire Spanish National Lottery framework comprises of the monthly draw which includes the mid summer Sorteo Extraordinario on July 4th and the esteemed El Gordo Christmas draw in the jolly month of December. Moreover El Gordo de La Primitiva ranks extremely highly among the loterias of Spain and as a conclusion enjoys some magnificent cash prize funds.
My analysis in Spain went across many distinctive socio- economic groups and often produced a shared acknowledgement of the love and desirefor the National lottery of Spain. Many people were very willing to communicate their own wonderful experiences of how their part ticket won hundreds and in a number of cases thousands of Euros. It was also incredibly apparent that the build up to each lotto draw in itself accumulated national attention and it was ONLAE Spain’s largest national lottery body that was the focal point for the whole exercise.
The draw upon which El Gordo de La Primitiva is based is a square of numbers from which a selection is prepared. This mixture is then supported by numbers from a second box. Anticipated jackpot prize funds are estimated to be around Euro 14 millions which compared to the other chief lottodraws is very extensive. The daily play and weekend Sunday draw make this a wonderful spectacle and therefore merits the history and pageantry upon which it has mature.
The base of my analysis examined at the many Spanish Lottery themes 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 gaming public with players in the respective states often travelling over the national lottery borders to obtain tickets from their neighbour’s national lotto draws.
Given my findings I can reveal that the national hobby may well consist of the obvious such as Bull fighting, enjoying paella together with many more Spanish type things. However it was the El Gordo lottery theme and its component parts which really astounded me and left with a passage of indulgent revere for it. The tasteand passion and of course the whole lottery Spanish lotto organisationwent on to assist this claim and ultimately left me quite emotional and sad to leave behind this fantastic lottery playing people. Hopefully 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 whole spectacle is just fabulous.
