Euro Lotto

Playing the Euro Lotto

The Euro lotto was originally formulated by the national lotteries of France, Spain and the UK and was launched on Saturday The 7th of February 2004. The inaugural Euro Lotto draw took place on Friday the 13th of February 2004 in Paris. The UK, France and Spain were the only European states partaking initially but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland also became involved in October 2004.

Euro lotto or the Euro Millions, as it is often branded, gathers the ticket sales of the 9 participating European countries presenting a mammoth Euro lotto jackpot. With the number of countries joining the European Union on the increase, this will clearly lead to new nations participating in the Euro Lotto.  An increase in the quantity of people playing the Euro Lotto will lead to a further growth of the already huge lotto jackpots.

How To Play

Each 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 chosen at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls.

How The Prizes Are Allocated

The probability of winning the Euro lotto jackpot is a distant 1 in 76 million but the chances of winning any prize is a fairly decent 1 in 24. If nobody wins the jackpot in a certain week, it rolls over to the following week which leads to an ever growing Euro Lotto prize fund. New rules introduced on the 9th of February 2007 restrict the amount of successive “rollovers” to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to lower prize levels in the eleventh draw if the prize is not won.

The new rules also introduced Euro lotto “Super Draws” which happen twice each year and offer jackpots in the region of £100 million. The difference with “Super Draws” is that the jackpot must be won during the week of the draw; consequently, if there is no ticket matching all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be distributed to the ticket holder(s) in the next winning prize tier.

Notable Euro Lotto Wins

• On the 8th of February 2008, the “Super Draw” jackpot of €130 million was collected by 16 persons who matched the 5 main numbers and 1 “Lucky Star” number.
• On 10 August 2007, a 40 year old former Royal Mail postal administrator from Scotland collected a Euro Lotto jackpot of €52.6 million. To date, this is the biggest lottery win ever in the United Kingdom.
• On the 17th of November 2006, having rolled over eleven times, the Euro lotto jackpot reached €183 million and was divided among twenty lucky ticket purchasers.
