Seasoned players at PlayHugeLottos.com will remember the first two Spanish raffles launched at the end of 2012 – the el Gordo de Navidad (Christmas Raffle) and the el Nino (New Years raffle) – both of which saw spectacular sums of Euros up for grabs.

The el Gordo de Verano is played in exactly the same way as el Nino and even features the same draw size of €140 million and jackpot prize pool of €20 million. Here is some more information about this exciting Spanish raffle which is now LIVE and available for purchase on the PlayHugeLottos.com lottery play page.

Enjoy the heat with the el Gordo Summer raffle

The Spanish raffles occupy a special place in the hearts of lottery players, perhaps, because they are not actually lotteries – but (surprise, surprise) raffles! It’s always good to try your hand at a different type of game of chance and what could be better suited to a lottery ticket provider than raffles?

With this in mind the first thing to take into account is that you will not be choosing your own numbers. Rather you will be able to select from a list of available 5-digit numbers or alternatively be assigned a random 5-digit number between 0 and 99,999.

An example of a ticket number is: 09453

The draw takes place on the first Saturday of July (so 2013’s draw will take place on 6th July) and there are plenty of prizes up for grabs.

There are 10 guaranteed jackpot prizes of €2 million each (the jackpot pool amounts to €20 million) and 378,000 individual prizes up for grabs. Everyone with a ticket has a 1-in-3 chance of winning a prize.

What are you waiting for? Grab your place in the sun with the el Gordo de Verano Summer raffle.
