When so many people can share the prize, I think it makes it a true lottery. As you wrote, I wouldn't mind winning $349,000.

It's wonderful that El Gordo uses the traditional method of drawing the numbers. Tried and true mechanical drawings are a beautiful thing

i think it nice that so many people win a little. It is a great time to feel good about yourself knowing that you won even if it was only 25 bucks or so. The big prize is not so bad either $349,000 iis nothing to sneeze at.

What I am amazed at is the total amount given away, 2.8 billion or so. WOW what a lottery.
