The lottery game EuroMillions was five years old on Friday 13 February, 2009 which means that all lottery players from its nine countries will be able to win a special jackpot sized birthday prize fund. The odds of winning something in the euro lottery are one in twenty four; therefore, the odds of a person buying a ticket and winning something back are quite high. Whilst the odds of winning a top prize sound like a long shot, standing at 1 in 76,275,360, there have been plenty of lucky jackpot winners over the last five years who have proven that it is perfectly possible to take the top prize. In August 2007, Angela Kelly won a staggering £35.4 million, becoming the largest British individual lottery prize winner ever. In July 2005, Dolores McNamara won the tidy sum of £125 million and remains the biggest individual winner of all time on Euro Millions. Whilst five years is no time in terms of lotteries, in that short time EuroMillions has managed to achieve an incredible amount since it launched on Friday 13th February 2004. It is one of the largest lottery games in the world and is the most popular lottery game in Europe to be played regularly. EuroMillions has also inspired the concept of the new World Lottery Draw. This euro lottery game is very easy to play. You need to pick five lottery numbers from 1 – 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from one to nine. If you managed to match all the seven numbers you win the jackpot prize. EuroMillions is just as easy to play online as any other online lottery game. |
