The aim of this site is to guide you through all aspects of the Euro Millions Lottery. This should help you understand this relatively new Euro Lottery offering and assist you in deciding which of the selected playing methods you wish to use. The UK National Lotto will also be looked at but to a lesser extent than the EuroMillions Lotto.

Euro Millions is a pan-European lottery that was launched by Camelot on Saturday February 7, 2004. The first EuroMillions draw took place on Friday February 13, 2004 in Paris.

The UK, France and Spain were involved initially, but lotteries from six additional European countries subsequently joined the EuroMillions draw on 8 October 2004.

The EuroMillions Lottery, or the Euro Lottery as it is sometimes known, takes place every Friday and pools the stakes of these nine participating European countries offering huge Euro lotto jackpots. The countries currently involved in the EuroMillions Lotto are:

• UK (The UK National Lottery) • France (La Francaise des Jeux) • Spain (Loterias y Apuestas del Estado) • Austria (Austrian State Lottery) • Belgium (Loterie Nationale de Belgique) • Ireland (Irish Lotto) • Luxembourg (Loterie Nationale of Luxembourg) • Portugal (Portuguese Lottery - Campiao) • Switzerland (Swiss Lotto)

With the number of countries entering the European Union increasing, this will lead to an inevitable rise in the number of people playing the EuroMillions Lottery. This will result in even greater Euro Lotto jackpots than the ones already being experienced.

The Euro Lottery jackpot is rolled over each week until it is won giving rise to some substantial winnings. On the 3rd of February 2006, after rolling over 11 times, the European lotto prize of £125,194,303 was won by three separate Euro Lottery tickets (two in France, one in Portugal), making it Europe’s second largest ever lottery win.

On the 8th of May 2009 the Euro Lottery jackpot record was broken. A EuroMillions ticket holder from Spain broke the previous jackpot record when this very lucky individual captured the €126 million Euro Lotto jackpot.

Generally speaking, to buy a Euro Millions lottery ticket the normal way you would have to be a resident of one of the nine participating member countries where you could pick up your ticket from a lottery retailer. However, with the introduction of internet based lottery ticket sales agents you can now purchase your desired amount of EuroMillions lotto tickets no matter where you live in the world. There is also a handful of legitimate international lottery syndicate businesses that give you access to the EuroMillions if playing as a lottery syndicate member is your desired playing method.
