EuroMillions is a European based lottery that commences once in a week. Where National lotteries are restricted to residents of a particular country, the EuroMillions Lottery takes into account the stakes from each and every participating country, thereby expanding the winnings pool.
This lottery game was introduced in 1994. As one European currency was being established, this lottery game was being developed. But, administration, crossing organizations, as well as policy postponed the plans various times prior to its final establishment in 2004.
Francais des Jeux, established the EuroMillions Lottery in France. Camelot, established it in the United Kingdom, and the Loterias y Apeustas Del Estado established it in Spain. Initially, Spain France, as well as the United Kingdom participated in the EuroMillions Lottery. However, since 13th February, 2004, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Austria participated in this lottery game.
EuroMillions’ last draw was held on Friday, August 27th. The winning combination for that game was 1, 6, 13, 30, 49 plus 1 and 9 as Lucky Star numbers. The £15 million jackpot for last friday’s draw was split between two winning tickets, which means the prize for September 3rd’s Euro Millions draw has gone back to a pretty cool £12 million.
Another British player has scooped a Euromillions jackpot! The anonymous winner scored a sweet £12 million in Friday night’s Euromillions draw. The winning combination for the european lottery’s drawing was 27, 31, 5, 42 and 40. 6 and 1 were the Lucky Star numbers. This is only the latest in a series of UK Euromillions triumphs this year.
Big European lotteries saw a couple of rollovers this past weekend. First off, EuroMillions went without any grand prize winners after last Friday’s draw - except for a Belgian second-tier winner-. Also, the UK’s National Lottery yielded no jackpot winners in Saturday’s game. This means that the big prize up for grabs this week is a whopping £10 million, a sum not seen since May!
