Euro millions Lottery History
Euro millions Lottery, a multinational money spinner, made its opening on 7 February 2004. It was initiated by France’s Française des Jeux, Spain’s Loterías y Apuestas del Estado, and the United Kingdom’s Camelot. The first lottery draw took place on 13th February 2004. Since then Euro millions Lottery have gone on to become one of the most participated lottery events in the world. The countries involved in this were UK, France, and Spain. But now it has roped in Austrian, Belgian, Irish, Luxembourg, Portuguese and the Swiss lotteries. This happened during the draw that took place in October 8th 2004. Thus within months the Euro millions Lottery grew in reputation and stature with players from nine countries participating every week. The game is simple enough as each player is supposed to choose 5 numbers from 50. Another two numbers or the so-called “star numbers” or “lucky stars” must be chosen from a set of 11 numbers. Initially the lucky stars were chosen from a pool of nine numbers but now the Pacquerette machine contains a pool of eleven numbers. The numbers taken from the draw, held twice a week, should match the numbers in your ticket. A jackpot awaits you if you get them all correct. The latest notable win came from UK ticket belonging to Dave and Angela Dawes from Wisbech (Cambridgeshire). They won a whooping sum of £101,203,600.70 on October 7th 2011. There is not just cash on offer but other prizes such as holiday trips and voucher that can be salvaged from this event.
