hey gang, sorry to have taken so long to put this up but been busy.

that time of year again

"the fat one" MEGA spanish xmas lotto tickets have been on sale since mid august so i have decided to start the yearly multimadrid lotto pool thread to get our anual pool going.

HERE IS HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR POOL

since i have a paypal account set up in euros at www.onspanishtime.com/paypal/europay.htm, i am accepting 11 euro participations for the x-mas "gordo" drawing in december.

it is 11 euros instead of 10 if you pay online since paypal takes out just under 1 euro commission for using their system.

the way i will work it is that anyone interested can (starting now) pay 11 euros into my secure server with their credit card and around december 17th (5 days before the drawing on dec. 22nd) I will see how much money we have amassed and spend it all on christmas lotto tickets for us.

if you do not want to pay online, you can pay via the following ways as well...

1) drop off 10€ to me at my office...
calle del correo, 4, 2º-5 (2nd floor, office 4)
metro: sol.
map HERE
...
mon./wed. 4-7pm.
tues./thurs. 12noon-3pm

2) pay 10€ into my spanish bank account at any branch of "la caixa" anywhere in spain. acct. info is...
bank: la caixa.
acct. holder: jeremy reines.
acct code: 2100-1579-86-0100200580.

or-

pay 8£ (pound sterling) into my uk bank account at any branch of "hsbc" anywhere in uk. acct. info is...
bank: hsbc.
acct. holder: j and j reines.
account no: 71683322
sortcode: 40-37-15

IMPORTANT: if you use the bank method, please be sure to make the bank put the word "gordo" as well as your real name (and board name if you are a member) on the payment slip so it appears when i check my account.

3) pay me 10€ whenever you see me at any of our many multimadrid get-togethers.

so many ways to pay, so easy to win

tickets cost 20 Euros each so if we get 20 people participating, that would total 200 euros and I could buy 10 tickets.

feel free to start participating at www.onspanishtime.com/paypal/europay.htm

gotta be in it to win it!!!

oh yes, participation will be limited to 1 per person (11 euro max. participation).

for those gambling nuts not in spain who want to play, play, play all you can, you can visit www.thefatone.com and spend, spend, spend on your own!!!

Saludos,
jer...

You all have the winning lottery numbers.

Enjoy your winnings,

Any update imminent on this, only I fly to Ireland tomorrow, as Lucys baby is due 22nd

only had 100 euros to spend this year, the pool was not very popular.

so, i got 4 décimos with the same number and 1 separate one with a diff. number.

saludos,
jer...

Thanks jer

All the more for us when we WIN, WIN, WIN

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!

Good luck to all of you who entered! my finances are very tight at the moment so I didn`t partake - this may ensure you have a better chance of winning (Sod's law and all that!!). I'm sure you will treat me to a pincho de tortilla if you do win!!!
Saludos, y felices fiestas!
