EuroMillions
One of the biggest geographical lottery draws in the world is the Euromillions Lottery, the first real geolottery draw and the first lottery draw to be played across several countries. When launched in 2004 the EuroMillions geolottery was played in just four European countries, this didn’t last long and now Euromillions Lottery tickets can be bought from vendors in nine separate European countries, making it one of the biggest geolottery draws in the world.
With nine European countries involved in the Euromillions geolottery, the jackpots get high, and an interesting way of playing makes for regular rollovers and some of the biggest geolottery jackpots in the world. The Euromillions geolottery regularly boasts jackpots of over €100 million, created by a mixture of lottery rollovers and planned Superdraws.
Thanks to the Internet, you can now play the European lottery from outside the geolottery area. Not from one of the nine Euromillions geolottery countries? Don’t worry, the world is at your fingertips with the Internet, making it easy for lottery players and syndicates to play any of the geolottery draws in the world.
Of course, we also advise, before you play any geolottery, you find out how to play. Each geolottery has different rules and the geolottery you want to play may not play in the same way as your own geographical lottery.
To play the Euromillions you need to choose 7 balls. The first five are the main balls and run from 1 to 50 inclusive, secondly, you need to choose two ‘lucky stars’, these come from a different ball pool and run from 1 to 12 inclusive. It’s the two separate ball pools that make the Euromillions Lottery so unique and the different tiered prizes make for some interesting consolation prizes.
The Euromillions geolottery is played every Tuesday and Friday night in Paris and in the draw, five main balls are drawn from the first lottery machine and set of balls, and then two lucky stars are drawn from a separate ball pool. To win this geolottery jackpot you must match all five main balls and the lucky stars to the ones drawn in the draw.
Odds of winning the Euromillions jackpot are one in 139,838,160 yet overall odds of winning a prize are as low as one in 13.
