The European lottery was in the first place set-up by the national lotteries of France, the United Kingdom and Spain and was disclosed on February 04. The first lottery draw was on February 13th 2004 in Paris. The France, Spain and the UK were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium also got active in October 2004.

The Euro millions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it’s ordinarily best-known, pools the ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries presenting a tremendous euromillions “jackpot”. With the quantity of nations joining the EU on the increase, that will without question will lead to even more states partaking in the European lottery. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the European Lotto will lead to a continuing increase of the already sizeable European Lottery jackpots.

Q. How Would You Play The European Lottery?

Each and every participant must select 5 primary numbers from one to fifty plus 2 Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the lotto draw, 5 main and two “lucky-star” numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered balls.

Euromillions Prizes

The probability of scooping the Euromillions “jackpot” is a far-off one : seventy-six million but the chances of acquiring a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty-four. When the jackpot is not won in a given lottery draw, it is carried over to the following week that will result in an ever increasing jack-pot value. Recent rules brought in on the 9 February 2007 restrict the amount of successive roll overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to lower value levels in the eleventh lottery draw when the prize is not collected.

The recent regulations also initiated Euro Lottery Super-Draw which happen twice each year plus they offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with “Super Draws” is that the jack-pot must be collected during the calendar week of the draw; as a result, if there is no lottery ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the lottery ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize tier.
