Todays update.....The people at Elgordo .com say that they will try and source any ticket number, if you have a favourite " lucky " number, but it has to be a minimum of 3 decimo`s of that ticket (number ), so that means the cost works out at about £29 each decimo, ( if bought on the net, outside of Spain, and if you dont have a NIE ) , including the 10 Euro charge on top of the price they charge for the ticket, this would probably only be viable if parts or decimo`s were sold on to family members or friends. :o

Hey, what's wrong with Cleggy, I mean a lovely beach, nice and muddy, bathing in the Humber Estuary, in all those factory discharges from chemical works. :scared: You soon get a tan, but it's nothing to do with the sun. :D If you go at the wrong time of day, you rally need to take binoculars, just to say you have seen the sea. :eek:

Last year a group of local bus company employees in Torre del Mar and Velez-Malaga had a big win (there were over 20 of them and each person's share equated to about £650,000) and apparently every one of them has carried on working! Maybe just as well as the public transport service might have ground to a halt for a while, but I don't think I would have in their shoes.

Yet another update: :rolleyes: Today I recieved the "unlucky " tickets from elgordo.com via registered post, also my credit card reciept, so thats good , even if a little expensive, but with the euro lottery still not won who needs the el gordo draw ! ! :beer:

Sunday.......The other day I realised that Coral, the bookmakers COVER the numbers drawn on 11 lotteries around the world, including Spanish, German, and New York. I put my " lucky numbers " in for Spanish ( 6/49 )and New York draws and HEY PRESTO, got a small win on both, with bets of £1.00 Spanish, and .60p New York, and matched 2 numbers on each,.. :beer: ...the advantage of using the bookie is the minimum stake is just 10p, its almost the same as buying tickets for the actual draws ,but a lot cheaper. :D
