Euro Millions is a splendid way to play the lottery.

These countries comprise… Austria, France, Belgium, Ireland, Portugal, Luxemburg, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. So you can expect – it is enormous! And the prizes are a good deal larger too; this is mainly because of the vast sum of folks playing but also because the main pool prize is rolled-over to the next draw if there is no winner and so the prize can be as high as 50 million Euros. It is no wonder then that the Euro Millions lottery is one of the biggest lotteries on the planet and in all probability one of the most exciting as well.
The first Euro Millions draw took place on Friday the 13th of February in 2004.

On that first lottery draw the prize jackpot was worth 15 million Euros. This is very impressive! Since then the highest single winner was a woman named Delores McNamara who won a staggering 115.6 million Euros which equates to about 77 million. And that is not all; 3 syndicate winners received over 183,000,000 Euros between them.
