Start the new year in style with the €700 million El Niño Spanish Lottery

With another humungous prize pool, the El Niño takes place in Madrid on 6th January and gives high-spirited Spaniards the chance to play for a share of €700 million.

Until recently, this fantastic lottery was only available in Spain – but now you can bet on the outcome of the draw from Malta at Lottoland.

Who knows – you could kick-start the new year as a millionaire!

Just like the Christmas lottery, El Niño works more like a raffle than a conventional lottery. There are 100,000 tickets per series, which are further split into one-tenth shares called décimos.

One machine draws the prize values and another draws the winning numbers, until the huge prize pool has been won completely!

How do I play El Niño?

It couldn’t be simpler to bet on El Niño. Choose a number from 00000 – 99999, select the ticket share, the click “Submit”.

The ticket share feature means that you can whittle your wager and receive an equivalent prize. The shyest share takes 1/100th of the prize, while you can grab the lot with a full ticket – choose this option and you’ll automatically get a 50% discount on your stake.

How much can I win?

El Niño’s top prize is stonking €2,000,000, with additional 2nd and 3rd prizes of €750,000 and €250,000.

Just like the El Gordo Spanish Christmas Lottery, the odds of winning the top prize weigh in at a fantastic 1 in 100,000. That’s 1400 times better than the EuroMillions! If that wasn’t enough, there are another 37,000 awards up for grabs.

That gives ticket holders a crazy 1-in-3 chance of landing a prize. ¡Ay caramba!
