The EuroMillions began in 2004 as a cooperative effort between the national lottery operators of France, Spain, and the U.K. It took a full ten years to hammer out the agreement between the countries, so once it began, it was definitely very well organized, as remains the case.
The plan was to offer lottery players in these three countries the ability to play for much larger jackpots than had been previously available. Since huge jackpots are what tends to really drive the excitement here, the expectation was that this new lotto would be a huge hit and generate some fantastic jackpots week after week. That’s exactly what happened.
As the success of the lottery grew, more countries were added to the partnership, and today there are a total of nine different countries that participate in it. Jackpots are always among the biggest available anywhere in the world, starting at 17 million euros and growing from there.
You don’t have to live in any of these countries anymore to play this lottery
Since EuroMillions has historically only been offered in nine select European countries, most of us have been left out in the cold here as far as being able to enjoy playing it. In fact, playing this lottery hasn’t even been a consideration for the rest of us, until lately, that is.
Savvy lottery players from Australia and elsewhere, those of us in the know, now realize that physical barriers in the world of lotteries no longer exist. They actually still do in a sense, as you still need to purchase your lottery tickets for the EuroMillions and other lotteries from around the world. Of course, you aren’t going to travel there from Australia twice a week to buy your tickets, as this would take a ridiculous amount of time and money. You could hire someone who lives in the countries you want to buy lottery tickets from, but that would take more knowledge and effort than most people would ever think of committing.
The answer is to simply buy them online, right from home, and have an esteemed and trusted service take care of all of your needs, including buying your tickets in your name, holding your tickets for you for safekeeping, checking your numbers, and notifying you if you win, and helping you cash in your winnings.
This new service makes people’s dreams come true – being able to buy their lottery tickets online and have everything taken care of for them has now become a reality. Not only can you very conveniently buy all the EuroMillions tickets you want, but we also offer online purchases of tickets to all of the world’s biggest and most popular lottery drawings.

Once the jackpot reaches 190 million euros, it is capped and further increases are added to the other prizes. The lottery organizers consider this size of jackpot big enough it seems, and it’s definitely more than enough money to satisfy any of us. Their thinking though is that at this point they have built up more than enough excitement for the jackpot and now they can do the same thing with the other prizes. But the lower-level prizes will be a lot larger after the jackpot is capped. That means that at that point, the lottery gets even more attractive. After all, the chances of winning a second-level prize are a lot better, compared to the probability of winning the jackpot.
Also, Euromillions offers a so-called Superdraw three times per year. This means that they simply set the jackpot to €130 million. And it can even grow larger than that if nobody wins it.
