posted on April 2nd, 2009
The Euro Millions lottery was to begin with established by the national lotteries of the UK, Spain and France and was unveiled in February 04. The initial lottery draw was on February 13th-04 in Paris. The Spain, France and the United Kingdom were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and the Republic of Ireland also became active on Oct 04.
The euromillions lottery or the Euro Lottery, as it is usually better-known, gathers the lottery ticket revenues of the 9 partaking Euro countries delivering a huge Euromillions jack-pot. With the number of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to new states participating in the Euro lotto. A growth in the amount of individuals partaking in the European Lottery will result in a continuing growth of the already gigantic EuroMillions jackpots.
Q. How Would You Play The Euro Millions Lotto?
Every participant must choose five primary numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky-star numbers from one to nine. During the lotto draw, five main plus two lucky-star numbers are then chosen at random from 2 draw machines containing numbered balls.
European Lottery Winnings
The chances of scooping up the Euro Millions jack-pot is a distant 1 in seventy-six million but the chances of winning a money prize is a fairly decent 1 in 24. When the jackpot is not won in a given lottery draw, it is carried forward to the following lotto draw which results in an ever increasing jackpot value. Recent rules added on the 09/02/2007 specify the number of successive rollovers to eleven, with the jackpot rolling out to lower prize levels in the 11th draw if the prize is not won.
The recent rules also initiated European Lottery “Super Draw” which come about twice yearly plus they offer jack-pots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jackpot has to be collected during the calendar week of the lottery draw; as a result, if there is no ticket matching, all the numbers drawn and top prize will be distributed to the lottery ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize level.
