Play el Niño Raffle

Loteria del Nino is a Spanish raffle that promises to give customers extra money in their pockets for the new year! Lotteries have been around in Spain for 200 years, and the nation’s two biggest lotteries – the Loteria de Navidad (El Gordo de Navidad) and the Loteria del Nino (el Niño) – continue to be hugely popular. The Loteria Nacional, which runs both of these exciting games, is once again attracting global interest as it builds on Spain’s rich tradition with lottery players being able to buy decimo shares online through PlayHugeLottos.

How To Play the el Niño lottery

If you have heard of El Gordo de Navidad, then el Niño will hold no surprises.

El Niño offers many ways to win significant cash prizes, so it’s a good idea to buy your lottery shares from PlayHugeLottos. You can follow these easy steps to play el Niño online:

• Register on PlayHugeLottos or log in to your existing account.
• Deposit the funds for your ticket into your account using any of our very secure payment methods.
• Once your payment funds reflect in your account, you can play.
• Purchasing your el Niño shares online is easy;
• Players do not choose their numbers but rather purchase pre-numbered raffle shares in the same manner as a raffle. The ticket numbers are all 5 digits long and range from 00000 to 99999.
• Each number from 00000 to 99999 is printed multiple times in what is known as ‘series’. There will be many series for each number (usually about 50 or 60).
• Each series exist as a full ticket or “billete” which is then further broken down into “decimos’.
• A decimo is effectively one-tenth of a full ticket and means that should that 5-digit number win any of the prizes, a decimo shareholder will win one-tenth of the prize money available for a full share.
• Purchasing a full ticket or billete will ensure that 100% of the prize is available for the shareholder.

Please remember that PlayHugeLottos only sells decimo shares which are far cheaper to buy and yield 1/10 of the reward available per prize tier.

What is the el Niño Raffle?

El Niño is more accurately described as a raffle than a lottery. Instead of balls with numbers randomly drawn, there are two drums that contain all the numbers – like in a typical raffle.

Regarded as the second-biggest draw in Spain, the el Niño raffle offers players a ‘second chance’ to win millions in the event that they failed to take home a sizeable prize in the Christmas draw. The el Niño is also known as ‘Sorteo Extraordinario de el Niño’ or simply ‘the Spanish winter lottery’. It forms part of the super raffles offered in the Loteria Nacional Extra series of raffles.
