Have so far NOT failed to win my money back on the Thursday draws. So I'm much happier with the Spanish Lotteries than the UK ones, and doing it on line makes it so much easier, don't have to check my tickets. Just waiting for the real El Gordo draw. :D :beer:

I feel that I must apologise in advance for already buying the winning ticket for " EL GORDO ", ( or a portion of ), but rest assured I will not forget those who contribute to this forum on a regular basis. :beer: Details on when I shall be in Zaragoza to collect the cheque will be announced after Christmas, ! ! ! HA, ....HA...( :beer: look out for the flying Elephants ) :beer:

I have just today discovered another website that you can get tickets for lotteries around the world, this one you have to buy 5 lines min. but its a lot cheaper than Elgordo.com if you live outside spain. No idea if its fully legal, but it seems to have been running since 1999. www.thelotter.com , it even gives a list of lotteries that give the punters a better chance of winning ! :p

Hi,
I heard the lucky ones who purchased a decimo came from Santiponce (Sevilla), Salobrena (Granada), Lepe (Huelva), and other areas north. A decimo, I believe, of the lucky ticket number is valued at 300,000 euros? :beer:
Regards,
Carol

I get my money back quite regularly on the Thursday national Lottery, and have also done it about 4 times on the bonolotto, I also got my money back on El Nino, got to the point now that I feel a bit cheated if I don't get my money back.:D
