If you don't buy the whole ticket, someone else will buy the rest of your ticket. For example, if you obtain two decimos, somebody else buys three decimos and someone else buys five and your ticket collects 1000, then you will secure 200, 300 and 500 respectively. Due to the cost of purchasing a whole ticket, it is very common for families and friends to pool their lotto money and each person buy a separate 'decimo' (tenth).
