The Euro lottery was to begin with established by the national lotteries of France, Spain and the UK and was unveiled in February 2004. The 1st lotto draw was on February 13th-04 in Paris. The Spain, France and the UK were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria likewise got engaged on Oct 04.

The euro millions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is usually best-known, pools the lotto ticket receipts of the nine partaking European countries presenting a sizeable European Lottery jack-pot. With the amount of nations joining the EU on the increase, that will without a doubt lead to new states partaking in the Euro Millions lotto. A growth in the amount of people partaking in the European Lotto will result in a continued growth of the already gigantic euromillions jackpots.

Q. How Would You Play The EuroMillions Lotto?

Each participant has to pick out 5 primary numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky-star numbers from 1 to 9. During the draw, five main plus 2 lucky-star numbers are then picked out at random from 2 draw machines containing numbered lottery balls.

The probabilities of scooping the European Lottery jack-pot is a remote one : seventy six million but the chances of acquiring a cash prize is a fairly decent one : 24. If the “jackpot” is not won in a given lottery draw, it is brought forward to the next week which results in an ever increasing “jackpot” prize. New regulations added on the 9 February 2007 set the amount of successive “roll-overs” to eleven, with the “jackpot” rolling down to lower prize levels on the eleventh lotto draw when the prize is not collected.

The new regulations also initiated Euro Millions “Super Draw” which happen twice annually plus they offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jack-pot must be won during the week of the draw; this means, when there is no lotto ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and top prize will then be allotted to the ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize tier.
