The European lottery or euro millions is one of the largest lotteries on the planet and winning numbers are drawn once a week, on Friday evening. Unlike other national lotteries, the euromillions lottery has 9 participating countries which include Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The euro millions results made lotto systems look at new ways of analysing the winning numbers as euro millions results derive from 2 machines and 2 sets of balls for euromillions drawn.
Unlucky for some the first euromillions results were drawn on Friday 13th February 2004 and was originally presented by three European lottery organizers; Camelot in the United Kingdom who run the UK Lottery, Françoise des Jeux in France and the Loterias y Apuestas des Estad in Spain. Whilst the first ever euro millions jackpot was worth 15 million Euros, it starts at around 12,000,000 Euros and the highest has been well over 180,000,000 Euros. euromillions was hailed as an instant success since day one, but the euro millions draw was not without its teething problems and took almost a decade of bureaucracy before euromillions was turned from good concept to great reality.
