e-lottery Players’ Blog

If you were one of the more than 5000 members who took part in the El Gordo Christmas draw, you’ll be eager to find out how much your syndicate has won!

Children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid spent several hours pulling the ticket numbers and prize amounts from the two baskets of balls. The winning ticket was drawn at around midday.

More than 3 million people tuned in to Spanish channel TVE1 to watch the draw live – including the staff at VWD! You can see the first prize being drawn by clicking here.

The official El Gordo results are now available on the e-lottery website – click here to go directly to the results page and check your syndicate’s numbers.

The winnings have already been posted to your e-lottery Members’ sites. You can see how much each of your syndicate’s décimos have won by clicking on the “My Winnings” tab and then on the “El Gordo Winnings” button on the left-hand side of the page. Please note that all amounts are shown in euros. The winnings will be added to your e-wallet in pounds sterling within the next few days, ready for you to withdraw.

CONGRATULATIONS to all our winners! We hope you enjoyed the El Gordo experience, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

We’d like to say a big well done to all of our Players who have joined an e-lottery El Gordo Syndicate.

The last Syndicate place was sold at around 10:00am on Sunday 21st December 2008. The El Gordo syndicates have been a massive success and we now have thousands of syndicate members who are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the draw.

The draw is currently being shown on Sky Television channel number 795 - if you want to watch the El Gordo draws unfold.

Once we receive the published details of the draws - we’ll pass the information on to you by way of the results service in your Member back office.

Wishing you the best of e-lottery luck!

The entire British banking system is currently experiencing technical difficulties resulting in many payments not being authorised with a ‘Referral B’ error message.
As a result, some Members and New Applicants will experience the same problem.

This issue is currently being looked into and should be resolved within the next hour, however, please be prepared for delays as this is beyond our control.
We would like to thank you for your patience in this matter.

El Gordo is THE richest lottery in the world, which this year has a guaranteed prize pool of a whopping…

€2.6 BILLION!

The Christmas El Gordo draw only happens once a year (at Christmas!) and is drawn on the 22nd December. This year €2.6 Billion has to be won, including:

- 195 jackpots of €3 Million each
- 195 second prizes of €1 Million each
- 345,930 sixth prizes of €1,000 each
- 26,001,300 (26 Million) individual cash prizes
- Each ‘decimo’ ticket can win up to 9 times

And guess what? e-lottery is giving YOU the chance to play the smarter way, in an El Gordo syndicate. Our system GUARANTEES that every El Gordo syndicate will win at least one cash prize!

Unlike most lotteries, El Gordo tickets are issued with predetermined numbers. This means that tickets are limited, so once they are sold no more will be made available.

We will be launching e-lottery El Gordo syndicates to the public on Thursday 4th December and we expect demand to be high. However, as an existing e-lottery member, we are giving you an exclusive opportunity to join an El Gordo syndicate before the public release. Spaces are limited, so get in quick!

To join a syndicate, log in to your back office and click on the El Gordo banner:

Remember: demand will be high and spaces are limited, so don’t delay! Write yourself a post-it note, set a reminder on your phone, tie a knot in your handkerchief – syndicate spaces are available for new Players from Thursday 4th December, 2008, but as an existing e-lottery member you can get in NOW!

When we took the e-lottery website offline at the weekend to upload the new e-wallet payment system, some members were sent “Subscription Due” emails in error.

If you do not receive another “Subscription Due” email on Tuesday, 25th November, your account is up to date and you can ignore the previous email.

However, if you do receive another email, please contact us on admin@vwdmail.com so that we can assist you further.

You can check when your subscriptions are next due at any stage by clicking on the ‘My Account’ button under the ‘My Details’ tab in your back office.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, and hope that you will enjoy the control you now have with the new e-wallet system!

There are to be some important changes made to your e-lottery membership on 24th November 2008. From that date on, YOU will be in control of YOUR winnings with the introduction of an “e-wallet”.  This allows you to choose when to withdraw your funds, how much to withdraw and how you receive the payment.

From Monday 24th November, you will be able to view your new e-wallet by logging in to your Back Office and clicking on the “e-wallet” tab.

If you have any questions please email us at admin@vwdmail.com, or call us on + 44 (0) 1492 534483.

Please spread the word to everyone in e-lottery to ensure they are aware of these changes.
