Following the unprecedented success of the UK National Lottery, the EuroMillions draw was first introduced in 2004. In these first days it was available in the three countries that established the draw, being the UK, France, and Spain but a further 6 countries have also joined to make it one of the largest lotteries in the world with prizes that regularly and routinely outshine many standard national lotteries. It is surprising to learn that the EuroMillions lottery was an idea first conceived nearly ten years before it was actually first released.
Choosing EuroMillions Numbers
The EuroMillions lottery also differs from the main UK lottery in the way that it is played and in the way that you select the numbers for your tickets. Players select five main numbers from 1 to 50 as well as two lucky stars between 1 and 9. Any player or syndicate that matches all five main numbers and two lucky stars will win their share of the jackpot which has averaged nearly £15 million per draw.
Rollover Rules
Initially the jackpot was allowed to continue to roll over with no limit to the number of rollovers. However, following an 11 rollover sequence, the organisers have now set a 12 rollover limit but this could still lead to a prize well in excess of £100 million so it is certainly well worth checking the EuroMillions lottery results, which can be viewed below, to see if you have won one of the cash prizes available.
EuroMillions Results And Prize Rules
While EuroMillions results are the same regardless of the country in which you play, the rules governing prizes and tickets do vary accordingly. For example, while you have 160 days to collect your cash prize in the UK you are only allowed up to 60 days to collect your prize if you bought your ticket in France. And, regardless of which country you bought the ticket you must claim your prize from that same country so if you play while on holiday do be sure to check the EuroMillions results before you return home.
More Winners
The EuroMillions lottery was designed to give players a greater chance of winning so it’s important to remember when you do check the EuroMillions lottery results that there are actually 12 different ways you could win one of the cash prizes. Similarly to the UK Lotto, though, you will need a total of three numbers in order to win a cash prize.
Check Your EuroMillions Lottery Results
As well as being able to check EuroMillions lottery results online you can also pay and play online. You can set up an account for the UK Lotto and EuroMillions at the national lottery website and from there you can buy individual tickets, buy tickets for the coming weeks and even set up subscription payments. The benefit of playing online is that some cash prizes will be paid directly into your bank completely negating the need to even check the EuroMillions lottery result except to satisfy your own curiosity and to check whether you’ve won the big one.
