EuroMilions lottery review

This massive numbers game is one of the best known lotteries around, operated in Europe as the name indicates but loved and played by legions of fans from all over the globe, who buy tickets online so they can play for some of the largest jackpot prizes on offer in the world. Did we mention that prize wins are paid out in tax free lump sums?

Some refer to it as Euro Lottery but we will stick with the original and generally more popular version of the name when referring to it. This beloved game was established on February 7th 2004 by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain, Camelot in the United Kingdom and Française des Jeux in France and the very first draw was conducted in Paris on Friday 13th of February that same year.

It was shortly after that state lotteries from Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland joined in the fun, considerably increasing jackpot prospects and the first draw which all 9 nations participated in took place in the autumn, on 8th of October.

How do the draws work?

When you play, you simply have to pick your predicted 5 main winning numbers from a range of 1 to 50 and proceed to add 2 more numbers, referred to as Lucky Stars. These bonus numbers are drawn from a pool of 11 numbers. These seven numbers combined constitute one line or entry.

A Euro Millions draw sees the 5 main numbers randomly drawn from a pool including all the 50 balls and following that the Lucky Stars are revelead but they are drawn from a seperate pot. The rest is simple, if you picked the seven numbers drawn you take home the big lump of cash tied to the top prize!

EuroMillions lottery Superdraws

The special superdraws are an exciting addition to this popular game. These are event drawings where the jackpot prize is set to a guaranteed amount. For example, currently the minimum starting jackpot amounts to €15 million. The Super draws often start at €100 million (or €130 million at times), regardless of how much money has accumulated towards the top prize at that exact time.

These massively sought after draws are usually held twice per year, but there is no particular pattern for exact dates and frequency to maintain an element of surprise for the players. EuroMillions superdraws often coincide with special occasions such as the anniversary of the game or changes being made to the EuroLottery rules, like the introduction of a new 13th prize tier, addition of “Lucky Stars” numbers or introduction of the new Tuesday draw.

Rule changes carried out in 2011

Players of the lotto saw several changes to the rules of their beloved numbers game introduced not long ago.

The most newsworthy change and a cause for celebration in itself is the Tuesday Euromillions draw. This new weekly draw date doubles your chances of winning the big prize pot – so to speak, players now have two chances to win Euro Lottery every week of the year. That makes a total of 104 draws being conducted every year when you count the new Tuesday Euro Millions draw and your good old Friday draw, which still remains the more popular of the two events.

Other rule changes involving the beloved game of chance saw the light of day at this time. The bonus numbers, known as Lucky Stars, got two more friends – bringing the total from 9 to 11. An additional new 13th prize tier prize for matching two main numbers and no Lucky Stars was introduced, where players can win around £3.

From 10th of May 8.6% of the prize fund is allocated to a special “Booster Fund”. This fund can, as the name implies, be used to boost the coveted jackpot prize.
Essentially this is good news for all us players worldwide as the changes gives us the option to play more regularly and open the door for more frequent rollovers, which in turn lead to bigger jackpot prizes! Speaking of prizes, there are now 13 levels of Euro Millions prizes all of which can of course be won two times each week.

Some people welcome changes while others fear them but in the case of the EuroMillions rules changes it seems to be welcomed with excitement. The additional prize jackpot and prospect of bigger prize pots is sure to confirm its popularity with existing players and spread its reputation to new ones.

To celebrate the new launch, the first Tuesday draw was for a "mega-jackpot" estimated at £85 million.

Dianne Thompson, chief executive of Camelot UK Lotteries, said:

"Since EuroMillions was launched in 2004, it's grown to the world's biggest multi-national lotto game by player population".

"It has really captured the public's attention, creating many multimillion-pound winners in the UK, as well as boosting returns to the Good Causes fund."

"These changes will make the game even more exciting for players - with the mega-jackpot levels our players love, as well as more great chances to win smaller prizes "
