So, if you were looking for a reason to try out some new lotteries this is the perfect opportunity: these insane jackpots might be just what you need to make your 2017 an unforgettable year.
Read on to learn how to have a go on the most waited draws of the year and which of these lotteries is the best one for you!
Let’s start with our well-known annual Megadraw. This year, Saturday Lotto’s special draw will be held on New Years’ Eve, so prepare some extra champagne! This draw has the same rules, same prices and same odds of winning as the weekly draws. Except, of course, for the inflated jackpot of $31 million, to make the night of the 31st even more magical!
The last edition of the Megadraw was held on January 3rd of 2016 and 15 lucky winners started the year with $2 million extra in the bank! The huge jackpot was fairly divided among several winners, creating 15 new Aussie millionaires overnight!
To bet on the Megadraw at Lottoland, simply select your numbers (or click on “Quicky +1” for an automatic pick) in the bet slip and choose “31 Dec 2016” option on the dropdown on the “Place bet when...” box, as shown in the below image.
Now submit your bet and fingers crossed!
Once a year, just a few nights before Christmas, Spain comes together in anticipation to watch the famous El Gordo draw. With a prize pool of over $3.2 billion, El Gordo de Navidad (Spanish Christmas Lottery) spreads wealth amongst hundreds of Spanish people every year.
Unlike traditional lottery draws, which generally pay the largest prize to one lucky winner, the El Gordo prize is designed to go to numerous ticket holders, meaning dozens, if not hundreds, of players can become millionaires.
To discover more details on this Spanish institution, check out our El Gordo guide to find out how you can bet and win your share of the $3.2 billion jackpot!
Miss out on the El Gordo jackpot? Have no fear: its little brother, El Niño, offers you another chance at a big money prize. No, Spaniards don’t settle for small jackpots!
The draw happens on January 6th, Epiphany day, which is a highly celebrated date in Spain. While the jackpot pool is "only" €630 million (aprox. $900 million), the draw is very similar in format to its older brother's – meaning there are plenty of prizes to be won.
If you want to start 2017 some million dollars richer, Lottoland offers you another chance to scoop a big jackpot in New Year’s Eve: meet Mega 2017, an exclusive jackpot for Lottoland players!
We are talking about a $150 million jackpot and the odds of winning are much better than most international lotteries, like American Powerball or MegaMillions.
