History of Euro Millions

The first draw of this lottery was made in 2004 year, but the idea came much earlier. The concept of a common draw for the whole of Europe came back in 1994 year, when is the american lottery, which united the whole country, began to gain deserved popularity, thanks to those cash prizes, which were promised to the winner. However, its first edition was postponed, thanks to currency problems. So, It was planned to start holding drawings precisely after the introduction of the euro. And its introduction was postponed for some time. But, nevertheless, like currency, the lottery was finally brought to life. Its first editions cannot boast of the same prizes and chances, which exist now, after all, at that time it was carried out in only three countries. Namely, Great Britain, France, Spain. But just a few months after the first draw, six more countries began selling tickets and became full participants in the lottery. This is how the lottery was formed, which we see now!

Talking about history, we cannot fail to mention the most amazing story of the winners of this game! They were a simple couple from Scotland, quite old age. Unknown, how often did they buy tickets?, but luck, smiling at them, struck not only them, but also everyone around. The couple did not take much active action and, in fact, led a quiet and measured life. The only thing, what did they do for this, to get a chance for a better life - buy a lottery ticket. I, as they say themselves, couldn't even believe it, that they were so lucky! After all, at the time of the draw, in which they took part, The main prize amount was approx. 185 million euros. This is exactly what the happy pensioners received!

As they told, in that day, After that, How did they find out the results?, they couldn't help it, what to fall asleep, but even to celebrate. Sleep didn't come, but the piece didn’t go down my throat, people were so excited, received a unique gift from fate! At a moment's notice, when did they find out, it was too late to call the organizers, so they sat and waited for the morning. And the morning brought them happiness!

Now the lucky ones are even on the list of the richest people in their native country and on the covers of many famous magazines. The lottery, in their own words, opened up many unique opportunities for them! They plan to spend this amount on cars for their family, and also for travel.

And now even those, who does not live in the UK or one of the other eight participating countries, there is an opportunity to win a prize, Maybe, even slightly larger!

More is better!

Many will wonder, how does this happen, that this lottery can afford such fabulous amounts of winnings, and it also gives the biggest chance to win something among the famous lotteries? The whole point is, that unlike most lotteries, this one is not limited to one country. Total participation in it 9 different countries with their own ticket sales organizers. But all the money goes into one prize fund, which grows to incredible sizes. In order to increase the chances, the lottery uses a unique ticket format. When will you buy your ticket?, You will not only need to select the main numbers from fifty fields, but also choose additional ones, so called, lucky stars or Lucky Stars. These are the numbers from 1 to 11. Their use allows you to maximize your chances of winning. That is, increase the number of prize payments, at the moment it is 13, more, than anywhere else!

Besides, this lottery, as already said, biggest jackpot! Every time, when the main winnings remain uncollected, it goes over and is added to the amount for the next draw, which allows the overall value to reach record levels 195 million euros! But that’s not all. When the amount reaches this level, it stays on it for several plays and then doesn’t disappear into nowhere! It is divided between those participants, who guessed right 5 from the main rooms and 1 star. Thus, getting a share of the EuroMillions jackpot is much more likely, than in other lotteries!

Besides, for each, who bought tickets in a certain country, There is also a bonus draw! For those, who bought the ticket in Britain, a drawing is held using a unique number on it, which also allows you to get a significant prize. Additional drawings are also held in other participating countries, but already on those numbers, which were personally chosen by each participant.

How much can you win?? History of the biggest winnings

The minimum winning amount is 4 euro. Maximum winnings – 200 million euros. Some lottery participants managed to reach this large amount more than once.

IN 2019 UK resident, wished to remain anonymous, was able to take home a prize fund of 170 million euros (before 22 times no one managed to find successful combinations).

But the biggest jackpot was won by a Portuguese. He won it in 2017 year. Jackpot Amount – 190 million euros. The ticket was purchased in Las Palmas on the island of Gran Canaria.

Can EuroMillions winners stay anonymous?

One of the best things about EuroMillions is as follows: if you win, you can stay anonymous. In the UK, France, Spain or Portugal, the locality name (the town/city/village name) is normally disclosed, but the detailed information isn’t given. In other regions, you can claim total anonymity.

However, there are two more options for lottery winners: they can go public or choose partial anonymity. If you choose to go public, you’ll have some media obligations, also, you’ll have to take part in TV-shows and press conferences, but you’ll get a portion of fame. If you choose partial anonymity, you’ll have to allow the lottery organizers to disclose you age, occupation and general location.

One might think that Euro Millions winners prefer to remain in the shadows, because no one likes annoying attention. However, this is a misconception. Of the 12 biggest EuroMillions winners, six have chosen to stay incognito, while other six wished to get their moment of glory. Young winners almost always choose to go public. If you want our advice, we recommend to stay anonymous.
