Lottoland SA brings you ‘Christmas in July’ with the Spanish summer lottery El Gordo de Verano

It’s the countdown to Saturday 6 July and the draw of the El Gordo De Verano – Spain's huge summer lottery where an unbelievable R2,3 billion can be won in collective prize money!

Good news for those who are not residents in Spain, is that you can use the Lottoland SA platform exclusively to place a bet on the outcome of the El Gordo de Verano. If you predict the winning numbers, you’ll be paid out the same prize money you would have won if you entered the official draw in Spain!

As the sister lottery to the famous Spanish Christmas lottery, the El Gordo de Verano draw takes place only once a year, on the first Saturday of July. Known as the ‘biggest, fattest’ lottery draw, it works more like a traditional raffle than a regular lottery, offering an incredible 1-in-3 chance of winning. There are 36,300 individual prizes in the huge prize pool of €120m and even the second prize is worth around €600,000!

Each bet carries a 5-digit number, and on Lottoland SA, you may choose to buy a fractional ticket, for example a 1/100th share for an affordable R100; a 1/10th share on promotion for R700, or half a stake at a 40% discount for R3 000. Should your numbers come up, you will win the corresponding share of the price pool of R2,3 billion.
