The biggest lottery in Europe is the EuroMillions, which operates across multiple European countries including the UK, France, Spain, and others. It offers massive jackpots that can reach hundreds of millions of euros, making it one of the most popular lottery games on the continent.
EuroMillions draws take place twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Players select five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 12. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 139 million, but there are multiple prize tiers offering various amounts.
Another significant European lottery is the EuroJackpot, available in 18 European countries. While its jackpots are generally smaller than EuroMillions, it still offers substantial prizes and has a growing player base.
These lotteries contribute significantly to national budgets through taxation and funding various social projects, while providing entertainment and the chance for life-changing wins to millions of participants across Europe. |
