April 14th, 2009
The European lottery was in the beginning founded by the national lotteries of the United Kingdom, Spain and France and was unveiled in February 04. The opening lotto draw was on February 13-04 in Paris. The Spain, France and the United Kingdom were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg and Portugal likewise became engaged in October 2004.
The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s ordinarily better-known, pools the lotto ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries showing a enormous Euro Lotto jackpot. With the amount of countries joining the EU on the increase, this will without a doubt lead to even more countries participating in the Euro lotto. A growth in the amount of individuals partaking in the Euro millions lottery will lead to a prolonged increase of the already enormous European Lottery “jackpots”.
Q. How To Play The EuroMillions Lottery?
Each and every player has to select 5 main numbers from one to fifty and 2 lucky-star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lotto draw, five primary and two “lucky-star” numbers are then chosen at random from two draw machines containing numbered lotto balls.

The probabilities of scooping the Euro Lottery jack-pot is a far-off 1 in seventy-six million but the prospect of acquiring a cash prize is a fairly decent one in twenty-four. When the jackpot is not won on a given week, it is carried over to the following lottery draw that will result in an ever increasing jackpot value. New rules added on the 9 February 2007 restrict the amount of successive rollovers to 11, with the “jackpot” rolling down to smaller prize levels on the 11th lottery draw when the prize is not won.
The new regulations also initiated EuroMillions Super-Draw which come about twice yearly and offer “jackpots” in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super-Draws is that the “jackpot” has to be won during the calendar week of the lottery draw; this means, when there is no lotto ticket corresponding, all the numbers drawn and the top prize will be allotted to the ticket bearer(s) on the succeeding winning prize level.
