This section aims to highlight some of the fundamental Euromillions rules that affect all participants in this pan-European lottery.
A key rule to remember, especially for the regular traveller, is that a winning Euro Millions prize can only be issued to the winning ticket holder in the country where the ticket was purchased. If you are holidaying or travelling abroad on business, it is crucial that you remember to check your ticket prior to making your homeward journey.
Anyone wishing to buy a Euromillions ticket is required to be at least 18 years old in the majority of the participating European member states. However, the UK only requires ticket purchasers to be over the age of 16.
The operators of the Euromillions, their agents and contractors are in no way responsible for either lost or stolen tickets. It is always the person who presents the winning ticket that walks away with the prize. So, if you buy the winning ticket and then manage to lose it and it is then presented by someone else, the prize will be theirs. I trust that this is one of the Euromillions rules that you will never wish to forget.
There has been a change to one of the Euromillions rules in the last few years; it relates to the number of times that the Euro Millions jackpot is allowed to roll over each week if the drawn numbers are not matched by any ticket holder. It was decided that the jackpot can rollover a maximum of 11 consecutive weeks. This rule came into being as a result of the Euro Millions actually rolling over 11 times before it was eventually won on 3 February 2006.
The operators of the Euromillions therefore decided that if the jackpot had not been won by the 11th time of asking then it would be rolled down to lower prize levels. The likely recipient of the top prize would therefore be the ticket holder matching the five main Euro lottery numbers and one lucky star number.
These are just a few hand picked general rules so if you are looking for a more thorough explanation of the workings of the Euro Millions then visit your lottery retailer and pick up the comprehensive information regarding the Euromillions rules.
