One month after its classic annual raffle, El Gordo de Fin de año continues to sell its numbers at a normal rate and the National Directorate of Lotteries and Quinielas awaits with “high expectations” on December 30 when they are raffled the $160 millionsaid to The Observerthe head of the entity, Ricardo Berois.
According to Berois, sales come “within expectations” for this time of the year and those who have already secured their number are people who usually buy both the whole tickets and the collective tickets that are sold at kiosks every year.
The way to buy through a bus is the most common among those who buy in the Gordo de Fin de Año, assured Berois, adding that more than half of the tickets are later sold in this modality. What does it consist of? A licensed agency (kiosk or trade) buys a certain number of whole tickets and from there collectivizes them, that is, they sell them in installments at a price set by themselves. In a collective organized by an agency, the price does not usually exceed $300 so that most people can participate.
“We already have agencies that have asked us for more numbers because they have run out“Berois said, adding that sales are expected to increase in the last 15 days with the start of advertising in traditional media.
How much does it cost and what ways are there to buy?
The New Year’s lottery will distribute in its entirety $357 million and the New Year’s Jackpot will be $160 million. In turn, this year there will be more prizes that will return the stake. will be 4 thousand prizes to those who have the last number of the first prize. And 8 thousand prizes for the last two figures of the twenty prizes for the whole.
The entire ticket costs $14,000 and can be sold in tenths of $1,400 bills. Agencies usually buy the whole ones and then collectivize them, but people can also buy them to make their own collective.
In addition, you can buy electronic tickets for $350, which are usually purchased on the last day. These tickets usually represent 5% of total sales.
