Spanish Super Summer Draw offers a 1-in-3 chance of winning

Lottery fans from around the world will be playing for cash prizes of €140 million in this year's Spanish Millionaire Raffle Super Summer Draw after the world's largest lottery website, WinTrillions, secured an exclusive ticket allocation.

Players have a 1-in-3 chance of winning in the 200th Super Summer Draw, known as the 'world's luckiest lottery', when it's drawn in Madrid on July 7th. These are the best odds of any national lottery game in the world and, because it's a raffle, the 10 jackpot prizes of €2 million (£1.6 million) are guaranteed to be won that day.

"The Spanish Super Summer Draw is always a big event in the lottery calendar and this year's 200th anniversary draw will be no exception," says Lucy Gold, spokesperson for WinTrillions. "Like all lottery games it's ultimately down to luck, but with a 1-in-3 chance of winning, you're much more likely to get lucky. This is the only annual Spanish Millionaire Raffle special draw between El Niño in January and Christmas El Gordo, so there's plenty of time for the anticipation to build."

Launched in 1812 as a special game of the Loteria Nacional, the Super Summer Draw was originally intended to help King Ferdinand VII fund his wars against Napoleon. Today, the money raised goes towards good causes in Spain, but the great odds and guaranteed cash prizes still attract thousands of players. The structure of the Spanish Millionaire Raffle means each ticket has a 1-in-100,000 chance of hitting the top prize; the best jackpot-winning odds of any lottery in the world.

Ticket numbers are strictly limited to 1 million and, given the massive popularity of the Super Summer Draw, they tend to sell out quickly. That's why WinTrillions is encouraging lottery fans to get their tickets quickly with a 15% early bird discount on offer until June 12th.  Simply go to http://www.wintrillions.com, choose how many tickets you want and your discount will be applied automatically at the checkout.
