Euro Lottery - Euromilhoes
The EuroMillions lotto was initially devised by the national
lotteries of France, Spain and the United Kingdom and was unveiled
in February 2004. The first Euro Millions - Euromilhoes lottery draw occurred on
Friday the 13th of February 2004 in Paris. The United Kingdom,
France and Spain were the only nations participating from the outset
but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland,
Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland also became involved in October
2004.
The Euro Millions or the Euromilhoes, as it is known in Spain, pools the ticket sales of the 9 participating European
nations presenting a mammoth Euro Millions jackpot. With the amount
of countries joining the European Union increasing, this will
without a doubt lead to new nations participating in the Euro
Millions. A growth in the quantity of individuals partaking in the
EuroMillions lotto will lead to a continuing increase of the already
sizable Euro Millions lotto jackpots.
How To Play The Euro Millions Lottery - Euromilhoes
Every participant chooses 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 “Lucky
Star” numbers from 1 to 9. During the draw, 5 main and 2 lucky star
numbers are then selected at random from two draw machines
containing numbered balls.
Euro Millions - Euromilhoes Prize Breakdown
The odds of picking up the EuroMillions - Euromilhoes lotto jackpot is a distant 1
in 76 million but the chances of winning a cash prize is a
reasonable achievable 1 in 24. If no one matches the drawn numbers
to win the jackpot in a given week, it rolls over to the next week
which leads to an ever increasing EuroMillions prize fund. New rules
brought in on the 4th of January 2007 and became law on the 9th of
February 2007 limit the amount of consecutive “rollovers” to eleven,
with the jackpot rolling down to lower prize levels in the eleventh

twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The
difference with “Super Draws” is that the jackpot must be won the
night of the draw; therefore, if no ticket matches all the drawn
numbers then the jackpot will be rolled down to the next winning
prize tier.
