Euro millions – The European Lottery
On Friday 6 November 2009, Les Scadding and his wife Samantha won £45 million on the lottery: half of the £90 million jackpot (the other winner also resides in the UK). They were just the latest winners of the European lottery named Euro millions.
A European lottery was considered back in the 1990s but disagreements means it did not appear until 7 February 2004. However, it has since been a success with weekly ticket sales approaching 100 million euros. Total sales now total many billions of euros.
That first draw was operated by Francaise des Jeux in France, the Loterías y Apuestas del Estado in Spain and in the United Kingdom, Camelot run it alongside the UK lottery draw. In October 2004, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland joined to make it a truly European lottery.
The draw regularly ‘rolls over’ (the jackpot is not won so is added to that of the next week) and creates more excitement as the jackpot increases. The rules of the draw state that Euro millions cannot roll over more than eleven times so the twelfth week must produce a winner*. Normally the winners of the European lottery need to match five balls and two lucky stars but with the rollover rule it is possible to win the jackpot on the twelfth week with five balls and one lucky star.
The euro lottery results show the largest payout was in July 2005 to a lady in Ireland who received 115 million euros after the jackpot rolled over nine times. The second highest was scooped by a gentleman in Belgium who took home 100 million euros in February 2007.
The draws are held on Friday night in Paris and tickets cost two euros or two GB pounds (Ireland and Portugal also play a ‘plus’ option that costs three euros).
As from 7 November 2009, the UK lottery draw authorities introduced the Millionaire Raffle Game to run alongside the European lottery, which produces an extra millionaire every week.
All jackpots vary according to the contribution of the country concerned and are tax-free (except in Switzerland).
Euro millions, then, is very much a European lottery.
*Please Note: These rules changed in April 2011. Please see later posts.
