EuroMillions, run in the UK by The National Lottery, is far and away the most popular lottery in Europe.
Launched in February 2004, EuroMillions was originally only available in Spain, France and the UK. Later that same year, EuroMillions expanded to include a further six European nations.
Euromillions offers 13 different prize tiers. This gives players an overall 1:13 chance of having a winning ticket. That compares to the National Lottery Lotto game odds of only 1:52. In other words, if you bought one EuroMillions ticket for every draw for a year, on average, you would win on 8 occasions.
The odds against winning a jackpot on Euromillions are just over 1 in 116 million. That compares with the National Lottery Lotto jackpot odds of 1 in almost 14 million. This is because with EuroMillions, you need to match 7 numbers compared to the 6 on the National Lottery Lotto game.
EuroMillion jackpots are on average more than three times larger than the Lotto game.
France has had more Euromillions jackpot winners than any other participating country.
