One of the most popular lotteries in the world today is the EuroMillions lottery, played in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland.
A major reason for the lottery’s popularity is that it’ is one of the biggest paying, tax-free lotteries not only in Europe, but also in the world .
Unclaimed jackpots are rolled over to the next weeks drawing if no winning ticket is sold for up to ten times. On the eleventh week, additional funds from sales are “rolled down” to winners of lesser jackpots.
Drawings are held on Friday evenings and are televised in Europe and, in the UK on BBC 1. Players can also check with the retailer where they purchased their ticket for the winning numbers.
The easiest way to get the numbers is to go to the EuroMillions Results web site. The site is also handy for finding past winning numbers. Prizes have to be claimed within 180 days from the original draw date, or the money goes into the Good Causes fund.
