European Lotto

The EuroMillions is a pan-European lotto that was created by the national lotteries of France, Spain and the United Kingdom and was launched in early February 2004. The very first Euro Millions lottery draw occurred on February 13th 2004 in Paris. Although only the three founding nations took part to begin with, lotteries from Austria, Belgium, the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland soon followed suit and joined in October 2004.

The EuroMillions lottery or European lotto, as it is frequently branded, pools a percentage of all ticket revenues from the nine participating European nations presenting a considerable Euro Millions lottery jackpot. With the number of nations joining the EU increasing, this will almost certainly lead to new nations signing up to the EuroMillions lottery draw. A growth in the quantity of individuals participating in the EuroMillions lotto will naturally lead to a further growth in the already sizable EuroMillions lottery jackpots.

Each player must choose 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 pulled out at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls.

The probability of picking up the Euro Millions lottery jackpot is a distant 1 in 76 million but the chances of winning any prize is a fairly decent 1 in 24. If the jackpot is not won in a given week, it rolls over to the following week which results in an ever increasing Euro Millions prize fund. New rules introduced on the 9th of February 2007 limit the number of consecutive “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 established Euro Millions “Super Draws” which take place twice every year and present 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; as a result, if there is no ticket matching all the drawn numbers then the jackpot will be rolled down to the next winning prize tier.

The EuroMillions has produced some stunning jackpot wins in its 4 year history and here are just a few of the more significant ones:

  • In February 2008, the “Super Draw” jackpot of €130 million was won by sixteen individuals who matched the 5 main numbers and 1 “Lucky Star” number.
  • On 10 August 2007, a forty year old former Royal Mail postal officer from Scotland secured a Euro lottery jackpot of €52.6 million. Up to now, this is the biggest lotto win of all time in the UK.
  • In November 2006, having rolled over eleven times, the Euro Millions jackpot arrived at €183 million and was divided between twenty blessed ticket buyers.

Typically, to play the EuroMillions you would have to buy your ticket from a retailer in one of the nine participating European countries. However, with the creation of lottery ticket sales agents you can now obtain your requisite amount of Euro Millions lotto tickets on the internet no matter where you reside worldwide. If you are interested in gaining a worthwhile advantage in the Euro Millions, you may want to think about joining an e-Lottery EuroMillions syndicate. As an e-Lottery syndicate member you receive a thirty-six times greater prospect of securing the jackpot in comparison to all those people purchasing tickets in the normal manner. With e-Lottery there are very few barriers to becoming a member and as a result the present membership of 195,000 is made up of persons from no fewer than 133 countries around the world.

LotteryDid you know that during the six years in which e-Lottery has been running the syndicate system has built a membership of more than 190,000 individuals, from all walks of life, from right around the globe – from 133 countries and counting.  They all have their own reasons for becoming e-Lottery members… but we believe they can all be summed up in just 5 main ones…

1. Greatly increased odds of a jackpot win

e-Lottery syndicate is 7 times more likely to win a UK National lotto jackpot and 36 times more likely to scoop a Euro Millions jackpot than an ordinary syndicate entering random numbers.  This is because every UK syndicate is guaranteed to match at least 1 number in each UK lotto draw resulting in a 733% syndicate advantage.  In each Euro syndicate both the “Lucky Star” numbers are guaranteed meaning that every Euro Millions syndicate holds an even greater 3600% advantage over the ticket buying public.

2. You receive more entries for your money

For your £5 weekly entry fee you share 44 lines in both the Wednesday and Saturday UK lotto draws – 88 in total each week.  If you choose to play the Euromillions you will also be paying £5 for your share of 36 lines each week.  If you want a real odds boost then play in both syndicates and receive 124 chances of winning each week for just £10.

3. There are multiple prizes on offer

Because the clever way in which the e-Lottery syndicate system has been designed, when your syndicate wins, it wins multiple prizes – 44 in total.  You therefore receive a much larger slice of the prize fund which is a very pleasant bonus.

Total peace of mind

e-Lottery manages your syndicate in a very professional and dependable manner, ensuring your entry fees are collected and that your syndicate place is secured.  You can therefore ‘set and forget’ your membership safe in the knowledge that you will be entered into your chosen draw(s) without fail for as long as you decide to remain a member.

5. There’s no beating the convenience and fun

Playing the lottery knowing that you are benefiting from the e-Lottery advantage makes the experience a lot more fun.  There is no longer any need to go to the lottery retailer to purchase your lottery tickets and of course no danger of forgetting to buy a ticket – or even worse, losing it!  This is because all transactions with e-Lottery are handled electronically.  Each time your syndicate wins, you receive your share of 100% of the winnings which is paid to you via the payment method of your choice.

Playing the lottery really doesn’t get any easier than this!
