Euro Lottery

Euro Lottery Background Information

The Euro lottery was originally formulated by the national lotteries of France, Spain and the UK and was unveiled in early February 2004. The initial draw was on February 13th 2004 in Paris. The United Kingdom, France and Spain were the only European states participating initially but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland then signed up to the draw on the 8th of October 2004.

The Euro lottery or the Euro millions, as it is commonly branded, pools the ticket revenues of the 9 participating European nations resulting in a colossal EuroMillions jackpot. With the number of nations joining the European Union rising, this will clearly lead to new states participating in the Euro Millions lottery. An increase in the amount of individuals participating in the Euro lottery will lead to a continuing growth of the already considerable Euro lottery jackpots.

How To Play The Euro Lottery

Each 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 picked at random from two draw machines containing numbered European lottery balls.

Euro lottery Prizes

The chances of picking up a euromillions lottery jackpot is a far-off 1 in 76 million but the odds of winning any prize is a reasonable achievable 1 in 24. If the jackpot is not won in a given week, it is carried forward to the following week which leads to an ever increasing jackpot prize. New rules introduced on the 4th of January 2007 and became law on the 9th of February 2007 limit the quantity of successive “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 established Euro Lottery “Super Draws” which happen twice every year and present 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; consequently, if there is no ticket matching all the drawn numbers then the jackpot will be paid out to the next tier in the prize structure.

A Selection Of The Top Euro Lottery Wins

In February 2008, the “Super Draw” jackpot of €130 million was won by 16 people who matched the 5 main numbers and 1 “Lucky Star” number.

On the 10th of August, a 40 year old previous Royal Mail postal officer from Scotland scooped a euro lottery result jackpot of €52.6 million. Up to now, this is the biggest lotto win yet in the United Kingdom.

In November 2006, having rolled over eleven times, the EuroMillions jackpot arrived at €183 million and was split between 20 blessed ticket buyers.
