Lottery group purchase Explanation: According to the definition in the DRAE: "Juego en que varias personas apuestan dinero a un resultado, número, etc., de modo que quien acierta se lleva todo el dinero apostado." Translated here by Google: "Game in which several people bet money on a result, number, etc., so that whoever hits takes all the money wagered." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:38:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There are several ways to describe this type of group purchase ("porra"). Instead of one person betting, people form a syndicate, club or group /etc,). "In Skybet Group Betting, users can band together into a team of between two and 50 members. https://www.bettingexpert.com/academy/types-of-betting/group... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:38:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/introducinggroup-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:40:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Something similar occurs in Spain's national lottery, where instead of buying a single "décimo" ticket, people club together and by a whole ticket (= ten décimos), or even groups of numbered tickets. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:45:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: as I see it, a sweepstake is just another type of lottery. However, a "porra" (club, syndicate or group) is a specific type of bet. The people involved might bet on Bonoloto, la Primitiva, Lotería Nacional, Euromillones... and conceivably also dog and horse racing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:45:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ... as well as football, boxing... in fact, you name it, they can probably have a "porra" on it :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:51:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I suppose you could call a "porra" a betting syndicate, although for me that expression conjures up an image of big bucks, the Mafia, betting millions, not just a bunch of students or pensioners or neighbours grouping a few cents together to place a bet as a group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2020-03-27 08:55:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By "Lottery group purchase" I mean people forming a group to play the lottery, as described above (Group purchase of lottery tickets). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2020-03-27 11:31:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: "Pooling" is by definition a group activity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_pool |

(la) Lotería Primitiva Sweepstakes Explanation: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/spanish-english... (= juego) sweep ⧫ sweepstake "La Lotería Primitiva" (Sweepstakes) is the standard 6/49 Lotto (6 balls and a powerball, if you will). It was created by the Loterias y Apuestas del Estado, the Spanish state-run lottery, one of the oldest in the world. The first draw carried out by the Spanish lottery took place in 1985 (after having been prohibited for over a century). One denomination, “The Primitive”, pays homage to the Spanish Lotto created in 1763 and which was replaced in 1812 by the standard Lotto as we now it today. I would leave "Lotería Primitiva" in Spanish with an explanatory note as I would certainly not use "Primitive Lottery". https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotería_Primitiva_de_España La Lotería Primitiva es un juego de azar regulado por Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (LAE) que consiste en elegir 6 números diferentes entre 1 y 49, con el objetivo de acertar la Combinación Ganadora en el sorteo correspondiente, formada por 7 bolas, de las cuales 6 se extraen de un bombo con 49 números (modalidad comúnmente conocida como 6/49) y 1 se extrae de otro bombo con 10 bolas (con números que van desde 0 a 9) y correspondiente con el «reintegro». También se extrae una bola extra como número complementario. Play La Primitiva online ⇒ Fill out your ticket in 5 minutes!easy-lottery.net › play-la-primitiva-online 920313437457.

I respect your opinions as far as "porra" is concerned and yes, "pool" is probably more the intended meaning. However, as far as "Lotería Primitiva", I would leave this in Spanish and use an explanatory note. That is the point I would like to make. Regards. |
