El Gordo?Reply
Am I looking at the wrong info on the link? I can clearly see where El Gordo tickets are for sale on the site but it is for a weekly Sunday drawing. Do they sell the Christmas El Gordo. Please excuse my ignorance.

$675 MILLION: POWERBALL SETS ALL-TIME LOTTERY JACKPOT RECORDReply
El Gordo is not a lottery, it is a raffle, and it does NOT have a jackpot. It has a big prize pool, but NOT a jackpot. The top prize that anyone can win is a few million Euro. Any writer who claims that El Gordo has the world's biggest lottery jackpot is wrong. It is common for reporters in the mainstream news media to be ignorant about lotteries, and throw around terms like jackpot interchangeably. To be clear: a jackpot is an ever-increasing prize pool (until it is won) that can be won b

Penn. Lottery declares 1st raffle a successReply
50% is about average for a state lottery -- not too bad. El Gordo is a very old game. If El Gordo were created today, I would wager that it would have closer to a 50% payout. That's just the nature of the industry these days.

I don't know if tickets are still on sale for the December drawing ... had hopes there would be an El Gordo game in the US or North America for 2015. Another year wasted ... one big drawing in Dec ... what kind of a jackpot could that be with tickets being sold all year? The only thing close ... in my mind ... for a mini El Gordo in the US is the PA Raffle going off four times a year. It's not even close, but it's all there is for now ! ... a low number of tickets being sold and eight t
