This is the reply I got from Montana.

I agree with you, I ve always liked El Gordo and think it would be a great idea for the U.S. lotteries.

The U.S. lotteries are currently working on a National game. Once we have a National game I believe El Gordo would be a great idea to introduce at Christmas. To do this it would take the approval of all lotteries. I know it has been mentioned and I will forward your idea to our Lottery Director.

Thank you for writing us. We apprecia... [ More ]

Thanks for taking the time to write with your suggestion. i had a chance this afternoon to talk it over with our president and CEO Arch Gleason. Arch was a two-term president of the World Lottery Association, so I knew he'd be familiar with the game (and I'd heard about it in passing as well).

He agreed with your assessment that El Gordo is a fantastic game. In fact, a group that's been working for a y... [ More ]

A 5/75 game with 30 bonus numbers has 517,781,700 combinations. The odds of matching 5 numbers without the bonus numbers is 17,259,390 to 1. Scratch-offs have already passed the $5 per ticket average and the current trend seems to be $2 a ticket online games. I doubt well ever see a quarter game.

El Gordo is a raffle style lottery. We are looking into the legality of having that style lottery in Texas.

I can't remember the last time there were two winning jackpot tickets on either PB or MM so any suggestion I'd have for my lottery would be for more $1 million dollar winners. Many of the Christmas time Raffles generated $10 million with $5 million going to the players. For every $1 million winner (and there were many) $250,000 was deducted for Federal taxes and all the states collected their share of State taxes.

If we're going to have a Fat One , let's have one where the lotteries only dedu... [ More ]

I was in Spain for Christmas and witnessed the success of the 'El Gordo' lottery. I also participated but did not win, but it was fun. The Spanish Christmas Lottery, known as 'El Gordo' in Spanish (or 'The Fat One'), has the biggest prize pool of any lottery in the world. It is a national lottery game organized every year since 1812. Because of the unique way El Gordo is played (the expensive tickets are broken down into 10 smaller tickets), it can be quite sociable to play the Spanish Christmas... [ More ]
