In 2004 the Euro Millions lottery was launched by the national lotteries of Great Britain, France and Spain. Towards the end of that same year a further 6 European nations signed up to the draw; these were Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland.
The Euro Millions boosts one of the largest tax-free, lump sum lottery jackpots in the world. This is mainly due to the fact that the prize fund is made up from a percentage of ticket sales from all nine participating nations.
If you elect to play this pan-European game you must choose 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 "Lucky Star" numbers from 1 to 9. To secure the jackpot you need to match all your chosen numbers with the ones picked at random from the two draw machines.
There are many weeks when no Euro Millions ticket matches all the drawn numbers. When this situation occurs the jackpot is added to the following week’s top prize creating an even greater jackpot. These "rollovers" have been responsible for some of the biggest jackpots the world has ever seen such as the €183 million jackpot from a couple of years ago. To prevent these rollovers from occurring indefinitely, a cap of eleven has been set before the jackpot has to be distributed. If there is still no ticket matching all the drawn numbers at the eleventh time of asking, the prize is then paid out to the next winning prize tier.
There are a number of ways for people to play the Euro Millions. Anyone over the age of 18 can purchase a Euro Millions ticket from any lottery retailer from within the nine participating European nations. Luckily, there are also ways for citizens of other countries to get involved. There are a number of legal registered online lottery ticket sales agents that give you the platform on which to purchase tickets for top worldwide lotteries, regardless of where you live globally. If the Euro Millions if not your desired game, you can select any of the other big lotto games to play instead. The one big downside of buying lottery tickets in this fashion is that you do pay a considerable premium for the tickets.
Another way to play the Euro Millions no matter where you live is to join an e-Lottery syndicate. Playing the Euro Millions with e-Lottery, you receive a thirty-six times better chance of sharing the jackpot when compared to the odds experienced by the ticket buying public. e-Lottery also has a proven six year track record and has to date attracted more than 195,000 individuals to its syndicate system.
Whatever is your preferred playing method, come and give the exciting EuroMillions lottery a go today.
