The European lottery was originally established by the national lotteries of the United Kingdom, France and Spain and was disclosed on Feb 04. The starting lottery draw was on February 13th-04 in Paris. The United Kingdom, France and Spain were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from the Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium also became involved on Oct 04.
The Euromillions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it is ordinarily better-known, gathers the lottery ticket receipts of the nine partaking Euro countries showing a super Euro Lottery “jackpot”. With the number of countries joining the Euro on the increase, that will without question will lead to more states participating in the Euro Millions lottery. An increase in the number of people partaking in the Euro Lottery will lead to a continuing growth of the already immense Euro Lotto “jackpots”.

The prospects of scooping the European Lottery jack-pot is a remote one in 76 million but the chances of acquiring a money prize is a fairly decent 1 in 24. If the “jackpot” is not won on a given lotto draw, it is brought forward to the following lottery draw which results in an ever increasing jack-pot value. Recent rules added on the 09.02.2007 set the amount of consecutive “roll-overs” to 11, with the “jackpot” rolling down to lower prize levels succeeding the 11th lottery draw if the prize is not collected.
The new regulations also initiated Euro Millions Super-Draw which come about twice annually plus they offer “jackpots” in the region of £100 million. The difference with Super-Draws is that the jack-pot must be collected during the calendar week of the lottery draw; as a result, when there is no ticket corresponding, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will be allotted to the lotto ticket bearer(s) on the next winning prize level.
