Q&A Spanish Elgordo Online

On this page we'll provide answers to the questions most people ask.  If you have additional questions, please Contact Us.

Are you connected with the Spanish Government?

No, we are an independent company that offers a unique service, and we are not connected to any lottery organization.

Can you tell me more about your company?

We have been providing secure and reliable international lottery services for more than 12 years.  We have office locations in each country for which we service lotteries.

Is your service legal?

We will be happy to address any questions you may have on the legality of our service — just Contact Us.

Can I play from outside the United States?

Yes, this service is available for all non-US residents.

Can I play from my state?

Yes, you can utilize our unique services from any of the 50 states.

Are you a Spanish Government-licensed lottery agent?

No.  However, we do purchase all of our tickets from an official Spanish Government-licensed lottery agent.

When is the El Gordo drawing?

The next El Gordo drawing will be held on December 22, 2004.  The next drawing after that will be held in July, 2005.

Why can't you mail me lottery tickets?

Unfortunately, federal law prohibits the mailing of lottery tickets.  In addition, it is unlawful to transport lottery tickets outside the government lottery jurisdiction.  That is why FatElgordo.com maintains a world-wide network of official government lottery ticket buying agents in the country or state of the lottery.  Further, many lottery players win prizes between US$10.00 to US$50.00, and it is most efficient for the lottery ticket to be available for immediate redemption so your winnings account is credited quickly.

How do I claim my prize?

You don't need to do a thing!  We will automatically issue a credit to your FatElgordo.com account.  You may either withdraw your prize, or apply the prize towards a future order on any of our affiliated Online lottery web sites.

What are the tax requirements on lottery winnings?

The Spanish Government imposes no tax on your El Gordo lottery winnings!
