Biggest lottery in Europe

EuroMillions wants to become the biggest lottery in Europe, and definitely seems to reach its goal. It has the big lotteries in the United States as its example. Especially Mega Millions and Powerball are incredibly popular in this country. It comes as no surprise that the motto of EuroMillions is ‘become scandalously rich’. It has some great Jackpots.

Changes in Belgium

Since the first EuroMillions draw in 2004, several elements have changed. For example, the lottery has changed the profits in every category. Another change is the number of draws. First it took only place on Friday, but since 2011 it’s also organized on Tuesday. So twice as much excitement in the week! Besides that, a thirteenth category has been added in which you need to have two correct numbers and since a couple of years the matrix has 11 stars instead of 9. In 2016 the matrix was changed again, from 11 to 12 stars.

Belgium Ticket prizes

The prize of a ticket in the EuroMillions lottery has become a bit more expensive. Since last year a ticket costs € 2,50 instead of € 2. You pay € 2,20 to participate in the lottery and 0,30 for an extra lottery.

My Bonus in Belgium

An interesting part of the lottery is that the National Lotteries keep a part of the total revenue to organize their own lotteries. Belgium is a good example of that. The country organizes a special lottery called “My Bonus’ besides the basic lottery. This give you an extra chance to win money. Every week about 600 players win the nice amount of € 500. Multiple times a year more than a 1000 people win € 10.
Standard lottery and additional lotteries
There is a difference between the standard Lotto draw and the additional draws. During the traditional Lottery the winning ticket is drawn out of all the possible lots. This is not a big benefit for the players actually, because most of the time the winning ticket isn’t purchased. So it means that there’s no Jackpot hit.

Multiple prizes and chance of winning
During the additional lotteries multiple prizes can be won, and only the sold lottery tickets count. So tickets that aren’t purchased a not a part of the draw. This makes a big difference, because all prize money goes out. However, it also means that your chance of winning is not clear. It depends on the number of tickets that are sold. It’s much easier to calculate your chance of winning when all lottery tickets are part of the draw, which is the case for the traditional Lottery.

Jackpot prizes Belgium

Of course € 500 and € 10 is not much if you compare it to the Jackpot prizes of EuroMillions. The lottery organizes special draws in which 25 people become a millionaire. A great moment that changes their lives forever. Once a year a special draw takes place in which the Jackpot contains an astonishing amount of money, sometimes even € 100 tot € 130 million euros!

The winning lottery ticket
The winning lottery ticket of EuroMillions includes 5 correct numbers and 2 stars. During Tuesdays and Fridays, first the draw of numbers takes place, followed by a draw of the 2 stars. It’s actually really easy to play. The only thing you have to do is choosing five numbers from a range of 50 and 2 stars out of a range of 12. You can also purchase more forms online or in a lottery store. This gives you the chance to pick more numbers and/or chance, which increases your chance of winning. Every time someone pays € 2,50 for a ticket, € 1,25 is divided among the EuroMillions winners.

Draw on television
You can watch the exciting draw on television. You see five numbered little balls that are taken out of a box with in total 50 balls. Two additional balls for the stars are also drawn. If you have guessed at least two of the five numbers correctly you’ve won a nice prize. Congratulations!. It’s not exactly clear what the amount of money is. This depends on your correct numbers and stars. Sometimes there are more EuroMillions winners involved. In that case the prize per winner is decided by a calculation:
The amount of money/the number of winners for the relevant category.
Several categories
The Jackpot of EuroMillions is attached to several categories. A player wins the Jackpot in the first category when he has 5 correct numbers and 2 stars. The minimum amount of money in this Jackpot is € 17.000.000 million. If there’s no hit during both draws, the amount of money will increase next time. In september 2016 a big change took place. Usually there would only be two draws for € 190 million. However, since a few months it’s five draws. So participants have the chance to win € 190 million euros in maximum 5 draws. If there’s still no hit after five times, the entire Jackpot becomes part of the second category.

Your chance of winning for Belgium citizens

Your chance of winning is decided by the amount of correct numbers and the stars you have. During this lottery can be thousands of combinations possible. If you use all the possible combinations of 5 numbers and 2 stars out of 50 numbers and 12 stars there are 139.838.160 combinations possible. Perhaps you think that winning the Jackpot is impossible. This is far from true, because the Jackpot has been won several times in the past. The record Jackpot draw took place at August 10, 2012. Someone from the United Kingdom won € 190 million euros! It was an incredibly day for EuroMillions and obviously the new millionaire him/herself. Another player from Portugal also won € 190 million euros, on October 24, 2014. A day that he or she probably would never forget.

Jackpot winners
In total there have been about 430 EuroMillions Jackpot winners. 99 of them were sold in France, 92 in Spain, 88 in the United Kingdom, 71 in Portugal, 32 in Belgium, 19 in Switzerland, 15 in Austria, 12 in Ireland and 2 in Luxembourg.

How much time do I have to collect my winnings?
The payout period for National Lottery draw games, so EuroMillions, Lotto, Extra Lotto, Joker+, Keno and Pick3, is 20 weeks from the draw date. Be on time, because after this period of time your profits can no longer be collected.

EuroMillions is a transnational lottery that requires seven correct numbers to win the jackpot. It was launched on 7 February 2004 by France's Française des Jeux, Spain's Loterías y Apuestas del Estado and the United Kingdom's Camelot. The first draw was held on 13 February 2004 in Paris.^{[citation needed]} Initially, only the UK, France and Spain participated, with the Austrian, Belgian, Irish, Luxembourgish, Portuguese and Swiss lotteries joining for the 8 October 2004 draw.

Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday night at 20:45 CET in Paris. A standard EuroMillions ticket costs €2.50, £2.50 or CHF3.50 per line played, but this depends on the local currency.

Ireland has an exclusive option called Plus, which adds €1.00 per line. As of February 2014, a non-optional addition called 'My Million' in France adds €0.50 per line, while in Portugal it is called 'M1lhão' and represents €0.30 of the whole €2.50 bet.

The cost of playing in the UK increased from £1.50 to £2.00 per line on 7 November 2009, due to the EUR/GBPexchange rate and automatic entry into its Millionaire Raffle. On 24 September 2016, the cost per line increased from £2.00 to £2.50 in the UK. On the same day, in Ireland and Spain it rose to €2.50 per line.

From 24 September 2016, the number of lucky stars changed from a pool of 11 to a pool of 12 numbers, decreasing the jackpot winning odds from 1:117million to 1:140million.

All prizes, including the jackpot, are tax-free (except in Switzerland, Spain and Portugal, since 2013) and are paid as a lump sum.

Play[edit]

• The player selects five main numbers which can be any number from 1 to 50.
• The player selects two different lucky star numbers from a pool of 12 numbers.

Draws take place at 20:45 every Tuesday and Friday in Paris. The results are published shortly after the draw on associated and independent websites around 20:45 UTC.^[1]

To participate in the EuroMillions Lotto, tickets can be purchased from many outlets, namely at licensed stores and online websites.

The game play changed on Tuesday, 10 May 2011 with a second weekly draw and the number of 'lucky stars' in the Paquerette machine increasing from 9 to 11. A prize for matching two main numbers and no lucky stars was also introduced on the same date.

On Saturday, 24 September 2016, the number of 'lucky stars' increased again, from 11 to 12.

Eligibility[edit]

• According to the Euromillions rules page, no restriction on the nationality of buyer exists. Tourists/ Non-residents are eligible to participate in the EuroMillions lottery as long as they aged 18 or over. The minimum age differs in some countries, e.g. it is 16 years in the UK(before October 2021)^[2] and Austria.^{[better source needed]}
• The game is currently available to players in Andorra, Austria, Belgium, France (including overseas regions and collectives), Ireland, the Isle of Man, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.^{[3][better source needed]}

Prize structure[edit]

The prize structure as of Tuesday, 4 February 2020 is as follows:

The Prize Guarantee Fund is available to contribute to the jackpot, for example, to boost the initial jackpot in a sequence of growing jackpots. The amount utilized each week is determined in advance by the participating lotteries.

• (a) per entry
• (b) prize fund = 50% of sales main draw
• (b) sales main draw = €2.20 in pounds sterling per entry (exchange rate!) times number of entries
• (X) draw 1 to 5: 50% + 10% & draw 6 (or higher): 42% + 18%
• (c) expected winnings are based on the currency exchange rate as at 7 December 2019, 1 euro = 0.8419 pound, rounded to 1 pound
• The odds of winning any prize at all are 1 in 13
• The odds of getting none of the 50 main balls but getting both lucky stars is approximately 1 in 115. This means that it is less likely than getting 2 main balls and one lucky star (1 in 49). However, there is no prize for only getting 2 lucky stars.
• The figures for the estimated prize are just a guide, and the actual amount varies according to the total in the prize fund and the number of winners for each prize. (Estimated prizes as per reverse of UK payslip)
• If the Jackpot is not won, it rolls over to the next draw.

Effective 7 November 2009 new rules were put in place regarding rollovers.^{[better source needed]}

Euromillions Belgium

• The new rules introduce the Jackpot Pool Cap. The jackpot will continue to roll over until the Jackpot reaches or exceeds €185,000,000, the Jackpot will remain at €185,000,000 and any additional prize money rolled over will be added to the jackpot pool for the next lower prize level containing at least one winner (5 main numbers + 1 Lucky Star or possibly even just five main numbers).
• After winning the Jackpot with a Jackpot Pool Cap, the Jackpot Pool Cap grows by €5,000,000. (In other words, after the capped Jackpot of €185,000,000 is won, the next Jackpot Pool Cap is €190,000,000, then the next time €195,000,000, etc.)
• If the €190,000,000 Jackpot is still not won, the Jackpot will continue to be €190,000,000 for the next draw if it is won, and again any additional prize money will be added to the jackpot pool for the next lower prize level containing at least one winner.

A new rule change of 12 January 2012 locks the Jackpot cap at €190,000,000 permanently and if the jackpot is not won after two draws, the prize money will be distributed among the winners at the next level. A new rule change of 24 September 2016 states that if the jackpot is not won five draws after it reaches €190,000,000, the prize money will be distributed among the winners at the next level. The minimum jackpot prize increased from fifteen million euros to seventeen million euros.

As of February 4, 2020, the rules regarding the EuroMillions jackpot are about to change. The new cap will be €200,000,000, but that will no longer be the largest amount that the first prize can reach. If the jackpot gets to this amount the cycle can last for five draws. If there are no winners in this 5th draw the jackpot is paid out to the lower tier. The jackpot stays fixed during this five final draws of the cycle. For the next cycle the maximum jackpot is set to €210,000,000 (an increase by €10,000,000). Then again the jackpot payout in the 5th final draw of this cycle. The jackpot stays fixed during this five final draws of the cycle. And so on....for the next cycles the maximum jackpot can reach 220,230,240 and maximum 250 million euros.

EuroMillions Trust[edit]

The participating national lotteries in the EuroMillions game have each established a EuroMillions Trust account. This is used for the settlement of all amounts due, and for holding amounts in respect of future prizes. This trust arrangement protects the participating lotteries between them from a default from one of the national companies, and ultimately the players' interests.

Super Draws and Event Draws[edit]

Super Draws and Event Draws are special drawings when the Jackpot is set to a guaranteed amount – often €100,000,000. The difference is that a Super Draw jackpot will roll over to the next drawing if not won, but an Event Draw jackpot will be distributed among the winners in the next lower tier (i.e. match 5 + 1). Until now, jackpots in a Super Draw have rolled over to the next drawing if not won.

The first Super Draw of 2011 took place on Tuesday 10 May to mark the introduction of the second weekly Euromillions draw and changes to the game format (11 lucky stars instead of 9 and a new 'match 2 main numbers and no lucky stars' prize tier).

The first Super Draw of 2016 took place on Friday 30 September to introduce the change to the game format (12 lucky stars instead of 11 and increased price).

Notable wins[edit]

The first huge jackpot of over €115.4 million was won by Irish lady Dolores McNamara on 29 July 2005. On 3 February 2006, three winners shared the record jackpot of €183 million after the first rank was eleven draws vacant. Two French people and one Portuguese received €61,191,026 each. In order to limit the jackpot from growing higher, the rules of the game in the period from 2006 to 2009 stipulated that after the twelfth draw without a winner before the jackpot amount would be rolled down and shared between the winners in the next prize tier. This happened for the first time on 17 November 2006, after over €183 million had accumulated in the jackpot. The sum was shared between the winners of the second rank (there were 20 winners of €9.6 million each). The first highest jackpot with €190 million was won by the Bayford couple from England on 10 August 2012, and they received 'only' £148.6 million because of the strength of the pound. The €185 million (£161.6 million) jackpot that was won by the Weir couple from Scotland on 12 July 2011 was considered to be the highest jackpot in the UK until Peter Wilson's win on the 8 October 2019.

A jackpot of nearly €175.5 million was won by a family syndicate of 8 siblings (7 alive and one who had passed away but whose family were still included in the winnings) who were from Naul in North County Dublin on 19 February 2019.

A jackpot of €190 million (£170.2 million) was won by a single ticket holder in the UK bearing the winning numbers - 7,10,15,44,49 and the lucky numbers 3,12.

Distribution of revenue[edit]

In the UK, the total EuroMillions revenue is broken down as follows:^{[citation needed]}

Email scams making use of EuroMillions brand name[edit]

Chris and Colin Weir won the EuroMillions and pledged to donate their prize money to good causes.^[6] However, cybercriminals started using their names in their email scams to fool the general public and ultimately cheat them of money.^[7]

EuroMillions Plus (Ireland only)[edit]

In June 2007, with the success of the main EuroMillions game, the Irish National Lottery launched EuroMillions Plus. For an extra €1 per line, players could enter the additional draw with the top prize each week of €500,000. Sales of the main EuroMillions in Ireland for 2006 were over €145 million; this success led to the introduction of 'Plus'.

UK Millionaire Maker[edit]

Since November 2009 at least one UK player every week has won a guaranteed £1,000,000. With the introduction of the Tuesday EuroMillions Draw on Tuesday 10 May 2011 there were 2 Millionaire Raffle winners each week. Changes to Euromillions in September 2016 meant that two guaranteed Millionaire Raffle winners were made per draw, or 4 per week across the two draws.

According to the Euromillions website, the chances of winning the UK Millionaire Maker game on a Tuesday can be estimated as 1 in 1,900,000. This can shrink to 1 in 2,250,000 in the events of rollovers. On a Friday, it can be calculated as 1 in 2,950,000 but again the odds can fall to 1 in 3,400,000 in the events of a 4 times rollover. Winning in this game depends entirely on the number of the payslips sold so the odds fluctuate. The odds may also fluctuate during a super draw or a special event in the UK Millionaire Raffle.

Prices per line in the UK increased by 50p to £2.00. The 50p was added due to weak exchange rates between the pound and the euro and to cover the expense of the new Millionaire Maker.On 24 September 2016 the price per line in the UK was increased by an additional 50p to £2.50.

In January 2019, the number of guaranteed winners in the UK Millionaire Maker game reverted to one.
