European Lottery

The Euro Millions lotto was originally devised by the national lotteries of France, Spain and the UK and was unveiled in early February 2004. The initial Euro Millions lotto draw occurred on February 13th 2004 in Paris. The UK, France and Spain were the only three countries involved in the beginning but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland also became involved in October 2004.

The Euro Millions lotto pools the ticket revenues of all nine participating European nations resulting in a considerable Euro Millions lotto jackpots. With the amount of countries joining the European Union rising, this will undoubtedly lead to new nations registering with the EuroMillions. An increase in the quantity of individuals partaking in the Euro Millions lotto will lead to a further increase in the already huge jackpots.

How To Play The Euro Millions Lotto

Every participant is required to pick 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 “Lucky Star” numbers from 1 to 9. During the draw, 5 main and 2 lucky star numbers are then chosen at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls.

Euro Millions Lotto Prizes

The probability of winning the Euro Millions lotto jackpot is a distant 1 in 76 million but the odds of winning a cash prize is a generous 1 in 24. If the jackpot is not won in a given week, it rolls over to the next week which results in an ever increasing Euro Millions lotto prize fund. New rules brought in during February 2007 limit the amount of consecutive “rollovers” to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to lower prize levels in the eleventh draw if the prize is not won.

The new rules also introduced EuroMillions "Super Draws" which happen twice every year and offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The difference with “Super Draws” is that the jackpot must be won in the week of that draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize tier.
