The Euro Millions lottery was in the beginning founded by the national lotteries of the UK, Spain and France and was disclosed on Feb-04. The original lottery draw was on Feb 13th-04 in Paris. The UK, France and Spain were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland also got involved in October-04.
The Euro millions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is normally recognized, gathers the ticket receipts of the nine partaking Euro countries giving a mammoth European Lottery “jackpot”. With the number of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to more states partaking in the EuroMillions lottery. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the European Lottery will lead to a continued increase of the already sizeable Euro Millions jackpots.
Q. How Would You Play The Euromillions Lottery?
Each participant has to choose five main numbers from one to fifty and 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the draw, 5 main plus 2 “lucky-star” numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lottery draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.
European Lottery Winnings
The chances of scooping up the Euro Lottery jackpot is a remote 1 in 76 million but the prospect of acquiring a money prize is a somewhat decent 1 in 24. When the euro millions “jackpot” is not won in a given lotto draw, it is carried forward to the next week that will result in an ever increasing “jackpot” prize. New regulations brought in on the 2007-02-07 restrict the amount of consecutive roll overs to 11, with the jackpot rolled out to smaller value levels in the eleventh lottery draw if the prize is not won.
The recent rules also initiated Euro Lottery Super Draw which happen twice yearly plus they offer jack-pots in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super Draws is that the “jackpot” has to be won during the week of the draw; as a result, if there is no lottery ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will then be distributed to the lotto ticket bearer(s) in the succeeding winning prize tier.
