EuroMillions Rule Change
A new EuroMillions rule change introduced on Friday 6 March, 2009, means that the jackpot will not be able to exceed €185,000,000.

Euro Lottery
Euro lottery is a phrase that is normally used to refer to the EuroMillions lottery game played in nine European countries. The Euro lottery was launched in 2004 and has quickly established itself as one of the biggest and most successful lotteries in the world. Euro Lottery offers a minimum jackpot of €15 million and eleven more levels of secondary prizes. This means that the odds of winning any Euro Lottery prize are an incredible 1 in 24. - (30/6/08)
Odds of Winning
The odds of winning the EuroMillions lottery jackpot are 1 in 76,275,360. The odds of winning the smallest possible prize are 1 in 38. And the odds of winning any of the prizes available are 1 in 24. Theoretically, this means that we could expect to win a prize twice a year if we play one ticket each week. Play two, three or more tickets each week and we could well win even more often. This is why EuroMillions syndicates are so popular – because sharing an interest in lots of tickets makes winning more likely. - (15/5/08)
Increase your chances of winning
The odds of winning a Euromillions jackpot are a paltry 1 in 76,275,360,
but there is one way in which you can increase your chances, and
that’s by playing more tickets! The downside of this approach
is that buying more tickets costs more money, but if you get together
with a group of friends or colleagues, you can form a syndicate
and share the prize money you win as a team. According to official
statistics, approximately two out of every three Euromillions lotteries
are won by syndicates, so the idea definitely works in practice.
And the good news is that forming a syndicate isn’t difficult
– here’s our quick guide to getting started...
