Why Lots Of Individuals In Europe Play The European Lottery

By Ben Curtines

The Euro Lottery is one of the biggest, tax-free lotteries in the world and the biggest roll-over prize won was 180,000,000 Euros and the least was a massive 15 million Euros! Sound good so far? Then read the rest

The Euro Lottery is comparable to the UK National lottery in many ways, but, instead of just UK citizens being allowed to play, it has 9 active countries and it is growing rapidly, therefore you can visualize the huge amount of money that is potentially likely be won. You can pick your numbers and buy your numbers in any of the following European countries; Switzerland, the UK, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain. As long as you are more than 18 years of age (Sixteen in the UK) and you are currently living in the country that the ticket was bought (If you purchase a ticket whilst on holiday you are well-advised to check your numbers before you go back home as the prize can only be issued in the country the ticket was purchased) then you are free to play and be a part of the EuroMillions lotto Draw. (As it is other wise known)

Obviously we all want a piece of the winning prize if not to win it ALL but even one of the lesser wins would still make a sizeable difference to anyone's existence. What with the substantial sum of people playing throughout all nine countries and the enormous amount of money up for grabs, there is more than sufficient money to go round. So far the average jack-pot has been around fourteen million, however some weeks thanks to unmatched numbers, from time to time the roll-over prize has grown to a massive fifty million pounds or more and its tax-free as well.



What's great is that the overall odds of winning even a small prize are just 1:24. And clearly for the more folks who pay, the larger amount of money there is to be won: and so the Euro Lottery Draw jackpot will always fluctuate. This is largely owing to the jackpot being entirely dependent on the number of tickets sold and clearly how many people match the same lucky numbers as you. So, if say 2 or more people match the 5 main numbers and the 2 lucky star numbers that are drawn, then the prize is divided between them all.

The best thing about Euro Lottery is that the prize keeps growing (rolling over) until it is won! How great is that? However, The EuroMillions organisers have decided that the greatest number of roll-overs has to have a ceiling so they have decided this limit must be twelve, before the Jackpot is distributed to the next highest winner. This would then be the ticket holder who has matched 5 of the essential numbers and 1 lucky-star number.

Your prospects of winning a prize in the Euro Lottery are somewhat good, even if it is not the full jackpot. The number of players who have won something should be a significant sum as the Euro Millions has been planned in such a way, that it should bring a winning experience to millions and millions of people.

Everyone knows that selecting their Euro Lottery numbers is hard enough and picking the right numbers is every lotto players dream!
