Euro Milhoes – History...
The EuroMilhoes is one of just two multi-national European lottery games – the other being the Viking Lotto from Scandinavia.
The Euro Milhoes began in 2004 with just the UK National Lottery, Spanish Lotto and France Lottery – Francaise des Jeux – taking part. The first Euro Milhoes draw took place on February 13th 2004 in Paris.
Later that same year in October 2004 six more national lotteries joined in offering the EuroMilhoes as part of their lottery portfolio – these were the Austrian Lotto, Loteria Nationale from Belgium, the Irish Lottery, lottery.lu – Luxembourg – Jogos Santa Casa from Portugal and the Switzerland Lottery – Loterie Romande.
Since the beginning – the 9 European countries that take part in the Euro Milhoes – pool all of the money spent on EuroMilhoes tickets across Europe and this generally makes for large EuroMilhoes jackpots which can be some of the largest in the world.
EuroMilhoes – How It Works...
The Euro Milhoes Lottery uses what’s called a double matrix of 5/50 and 2/9 which means that when you play EuroMilhoes – EuroMillions – you need to select 5 MAIN EuroMilhoes numbers out of a pool of balls from 1 to 50 and 2 LUCKY STAR numbers out of a pool of balls numbered from 1 to 9.
The aim is to correctly match as many of the winning lottery numbers as you can – there are 12 different categories of EuroMilhoes prizes – if you match all 5 of the EuroMilhoes MAIN numbers plus the 2 LUCKY STAR numbers you will be the winner of the Euro Milhoes Jackpot.
If you match the winning lottery numbers on any of the other 11 different prize levels you will win one of the other great EuroMilhoes prizes on offer.
A Jogar Rapido facility – also known as Lucky Dip or Quick Pick is available when playing the Euro Milhoes which means that you can ask your lottery ticket sales retailer or computer to select your numbers for you – they do this using a simple random number generator.
