EuroMillions Super Draw: the Superman of the Lottery World

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the EuroMillions Super Draw! The EuroMillions Super Draw is just around the corner on March 22^nd, offering a guaranteed €100 million. As the draw date of the first most EuroMillions super draw this year nears, we take a look at what makes superheroes a natural analogy for Europe’s #1 lottery.

Although lotteries may not make frequent appearances on the pages of comic books or action-packed movies, lotteries and superheroes have more in common than one might think. Like winning the lottery, superheroes excite people, capture imaginations, and rescue us from the monotony of day-to-day life. With the EuroMillions €100 million super draw coming up, the European lotto is donning its super hero garb. EuroMillions is the Superman of the lottery world basking in international recognition, a wide-spread fan base, and the source of inspiration to people who watch the superhero scale buildings – or prize ladders! EuroMillions draws on the power of nine participating countries creating mega jackpots that sweep the planet. Super draws can catapult a mid-range jackpot into a nine digit figure, rolling over faster than a speeding bullet and packing more punch than a powerful locomotive. EuroMillions’ amazing feats have been dazzling lottery fans across the world with prizes that include a €185 million jackpot in July of 2011, August’s record breaking €190 million jackpot win and last week’s Portuguese €51 million milestone win. The upcoming EuroMillions mega prize comes on the heels of last week’s quadruple roll over jackpot of €51 million. If not winners are produced for this week’s jackpots, the roll over trend will continue and could even extend past the Super Draw to create prizes capable of breaking the EuroMillions jackpot record! Check the EuroMillions results here. We aren’t the only ones to see the connection between the lottery world and our favourite super hero! Check out this awesome commercial for the Hungarian National Lottery where lottery jackpots and superheroes unite!

The UK National Lottery and Its Millionaire Raffles

The lottery world continues to grow and evolve, led by countries such as Australia, the US, Spain and Italy, as well, of course, as each country’s lotto-loving public. The UK National Lottery is an essential part of this elite group, most recently making 50 millionaires in the space of one week in two extraordinary UK Millionaire Raffles.

If EuroMillions is Europe’s premier lottery, then EuroMillions UK, administered by the UK National Lottery, is Europe’s premier lottery plus! Twice each week, as the world’s attention is focused on the main EuroMillions draw, the UK version also hosts the UK Millionaire Raffle.

For every EuroMillions UK line purchased, a unique 9-digit alpha-numeric code is automatically generated at the bottom of the ticket. One of these codes is selected in the UK Millionaire Raffle to guarantee a new millionaire will be made. You would think 104 millionaires each year would be enough, right?

Well, the UK National Lottery thinks its loyal fans and followers deserve better!

In fact, in July 2012, 100 millionaires were made on the same night as the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, to honour the international sporting event and to say thank you to UK lottery players who collectively contributed £2.2 billion to making it possible.

Then came the recent UK Christmas and New Year Millionaire Raffles, two seasonal super draw raffles that each produced 25 millionaires to add to an already impressive tally. In case you are counting, the UK National Lottery created 254 millionaires in the space of one year, from just one of its popular lottery formats!

By calendar year, the beloved British lottery organisation distributed an astounding £850 million to 323 new millionaires across all of its lottery and raffle draws in 2012, up from 229 millionaires made in 2011.

The Hunt for the EuroMillions UK Winner Ends

After 180 days of scouring the streets of the Stevenage and Hitchin area of Hertfordshire for the mystery EuroMillions UK winner who held a ticket worth £63 million from the June 8^th draw, the prize money has officially been passed over to the National Lottery Good Causes fund. Twitter user @Alan_Tonge said it right, “64 million Euromillions ticket not claimed with the money going to charity. Excellent news for charity, but deary me for the ticket holder!”

The expired prize money, now £63.8 million including the interest that it has accrued, is the largest unclaimed ticket in UK lottery history! While lottery officials and Brits alike are excited that the millions will join a fund that has raised £29 billion to benefit health, sports, recreation and arts education since 1994, EuroMillions UK officials had hoped to present the money on an oversized cardboard check and celebratory EuroMillions champagne flutes to the fifth largest UK lottery winners ever!

Mere week after one ticket from Herfordshire matched all seven winning numbers, 11, 5, 22, 34, 40 and Lucky Stars 9 and 11, entitling them to half of a €158 million EuroMillions jackpot, UK National Lottery officials began scouring the area for the mystery lottery winner. At first, they enlisted a team of promoters armed with lottery balls printed with the winning numbers. The women wore EuroMillions tshirts and spread news of the local win at railway stations, bus stops and the nearest airport, London Luton. Initially, lottery officials speculated that the winner had left for a long vacation around the time of the draw and was unaware that they had matched the jackpot upon their return.

As the weeks and months continued, EuroMillions UK plastered flyers with the winning numbers in every store in Hertfordshire. Billboards and signs reading “Are you the EuroMillions winner?” were hung across the region and driven through the streets. Two trucks displaying giant yellow banners to attract the winner’s attention took up permanent residence in the central town square.

As the December 5th, 11PM deadline neared, lottery officials and locals alike got more creative with their last-ditch attempts to find the missing EuroMillions UK winner. EuroMillions UK employees went door to door, begging people to check for tickets in the couch, the car, and even the trash bin. A town crier appeared in a Lamborghini, and proceeded to shout out the winning EuroMillions numbers in a desperate search for the winner.

After six months of searching, no EuroMillions UK winner ever came forward to collect the £63.8 million prize. Life in Hertfordshire will go back to normal. This is probably the last they will see of a Lamborghini-driving town crier. Hopefully the legend of the missing EuroMillions winner will teach lottery fans a valuable lesson – always check the winning numbers! Check EuroMillions lottery results here.

France EuroMillions Winner Welcome Change

Last night’s €169.8 million EuroMillions winner hails from France, marking the largest jackpot won outside of the UK since the lottery began in 2004!

News of the EuroMillions €169.8 million jackpot was buzzing through the streets of Paris last night as the word got out that one ticket matched all seven winning numbers: 11, 16, 21, 24, 29 and lucky stars 2 and 6. The lottery results do not have to travel far from the EuroMillions Paris headquarters to locate the newest winner, as the coveted winning ticket was purchased in France!

The most recent EuroMillions win marks the 58th French jackpot since the lottery began in 2004, meaning that over 25% of all EuroMillions winning tickets have come from France. The €169.8 million jackpot win sets a new French jackpot record, surpassing the previous record-holder, a €162 million EuroMillions jackpot from September 2011 by over €7 million.

The French ticket-holder will collect the second largest EuroMillions jackpot of 2012, behind Adrian and Gillian Bayford’s record-breaking €190 million jackpot win in August. In addition to catapulting the winner to the status of the 221st richest person in France, this jackpot win reinforces the multi-national quality of EuroMillions.

Any lottery winner in France who collects more than €500,000 is provided with personalized financial counselling and planning through the official French lottery organization. France’s newest winner is in good hands, as the mystery millionaire will be offered education and advice on money management, stocks, bonds, real estate, investments and donations.

Nine countries participate in EuroMillions: France, Spain, UK, Belgium, Austria, Ireland Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland. The large number of member nations and strong participation across Europe ensures that the EuroMillions jackpots remain some of the largest in the world. However, in recent years, EuroMillions UK winners have dominated the winning lottery results charts.

Although UK winners only make up 15.7% of all EuroMillions jackpot winners, they have collected the lottery’s largest jackpots, including a €185 million prize in July 2011 and a €190 prize in August 2012. After a string of UK EuroMillions jackpot winners in Fall 2012, a spokesman for the UK National Lottery stated, “This is amazing. It has been an extraordinary year for UK ticket-holders – this is the eighth EuroMillions jackpot to be won on these shores in 2012.”

Last night’s €169.8 million French EuroMillions win confirms that lottery players from all nine participating nations and around the world have equal chances and equal rights to win the coveted EuroMillions top prizes! Let this be a call to action for all EuroMillions players from Austria, who have not seen a €100 million EuroMillions win since 2009 and the lotto fans in Luxembourg, who have not yet collected a EuroMillions jackpot! The time has come to make EuroMillions a truly multi-national lottery draw once again! Enter Friday’s EuroMillions draw here!

EuroMillions Jackpot: Worth its Weight in Gold – November 7th, 2012

€152 million – this enormous sum of money, the EuroMillions jackpot value for Friday’s 2012/90 draw, is almost too large to fathom. Imagine the White House, an image splashed across American and international press throughout this campaign season, covered in gold…literally. With the €152 million EuroMillions jackpot, that image could become a reality because the EuroMillions first prize is now equivalent to over three tons of solid gold.

Lotteries are experiencing a wave of huge jackpots around the world, with four winners splitting a record-breaking AU$ 112 million Oz Lotto Australia on Tuesday and the US Powerball Lottery jackpot reaching $143 million. EuroMillions is leading the race, however, with a massive €152 million top prize.

EuroMillions is no stranger to the top spot of theLotter’s theBig list. The current jackpot marks the fourth time that EuroMillions has exceeded €100 million in 2012 alone and the jackpot could potentially gain an additional €43 million before it reaches the lottery’s €195 million jackpot ceiling. Check EuroMillions results here.

Most lottery organizations would be satisfied with a year of record-breaking jackpots and millionaire raffles that dole out 100 £1 million prizes. However, EuroMillions UK is determined to end 2012 with a bang and enter 2013 with the same excitement. For that reason, EuroMillions UK is bringing Christmas cheer to a whole new level by handing out 25 £1 million prizes on a Christmas Day Millionaire Raffle Super Draw on December 25th.

Those players whose 9-character codes were not selected in the first super draw will have a second chance to win only one week later. EuroMillions UK will hold a second Millionaire Raffle Super Draw on January 1st, 2013, where it will make the first 25 millionaires of 2013!

2012 might be winding down, but EuroMillions is still going strong – boasting a top prize large enough to coat the White House in gold and promising to make 50 millionaires throughout the holiday season!

October is the month for a EuroMillions 101 million winner – October 28th, 2012

A £101 million EuroMillions UK jackpot was distributed in October, 2011. One year later, the top prize has reached 101 million once again.

Two is a lucky number in Chinese culture, going along with the belief that good things come in pairs. With that in mind, it looks like 101 is a lucky number for EuroMillions fans across the world. In October 2011, one year ago, Dave and Angela Dawes won a £101 million EuroMillions UK jackpot, the third largest EuroMillions prize at the time. The EuroMillions jackpot has now reached €101 million over the course of 8 rollovers and if good things happen in pairs, Europe’s largest multi-national Lottery just might crown another EuroMillions 101 million winner on Tuesday night, starting an annual tradition.

The number 101 traditionally conjures up images of spotted Dalmatians for Disney fans, serves as the 26th prime number for math buffs and it is quickly becoming an auspicious sign for EuroMillions Lottery fans. When Angela and Dave Dawes collected their massive £101 million prize on October 11th, 2011, they were told that if their fortune was distributed in £50 bills, the treasure would weigh as much as a full-grown rhinoceros. If those bills were stacked, they would create a tower four times taller than Nelson’s Tower in London. Enter to be the next big EuroMillions 101 million jackpot winner here.

October is the month for a EuroMillions 101 million winner October 28th, 2012

The Dawes family has gone on to use their jackpot prize to help others, handing out millions in cash and gifts to about 20 of their closest friends and family. Dave Dawes stated that they wanted to give back to anyone who has helped them throughout their lives.

A recent study conducted by the UK National Lottery organization states that most British lottery winners spend their money on an Audi sports car, a Jacuzzi or a luxury vacation to the United States. Additionally, the 3,000 lottery winners surveyed have gone on to make more than 3,780 of their children, relatives and friends millionaires. The Dawes are no exception to this rule, as they have splurged on some exciting luxury items for both themselves and their loved ones. Angela’s father’s only request was a 1927 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost in blue, a car that he could not even drive. But for £500,000, it looked great in the driveway.

Will one or more lucky lottery ticket match the seven winning numbers in Tuesday night’s draw and take home the €101 million jackpot prize, carrying on the Dawes’ 101 million October tradition? If the jackpot is not collected in this draw, it will continue to grow with the potential of breaking the EuroMillions record for a second time in 2012. No matter the outcome, Tuesday’s EuroMillions draw promises to be an event to remember.

It’s EuroMillions Super Draw Time! – September 28th, 2012

Winning €100 million is going to change anyone’s life forever.

And individuals have the chance to get their hands on this monster prize tonight (September 28^th) thanks to the EuroMillions Super Draw. As well as coming with a guaranteed jackpot of €100 million, there is scope for the top prize to climb as high as €130 million.

Imagine what winning such a fantastic amount of money would do? It means people would no longer have to worry about job security or being able to afford to send their kids to college.

Instead they could focus on living life to the full by going on amazing holidays and buying top-of-the-range cars and luxurious properties. However, the only way people can have a chance of taking home the €100 million is to buy a EuroMillions Super Draw ticket.

All lottery players have to do to win this massive windfall is match five numbers and two Lucky Stars. Provided they are able to do this, then all of their dreams will surely come true.

The EuroMillions Super Draw is only the fifth super draw that has taken place since 2010 and so everyone should be keen to get involved, because it could be a while before another is organized.

Unsurprisingly, the lottery is currently top of theBig, which means it is the biggest declared jackpot in the world. It is far ahead of the $40 million on offer from the US Powerball and the £19.3 million UK National Lottery.

The winner, or winners, of the EuroMillions Super Draw will be the latest in a long line of people to take home nine-digit jackpots from playing the EuroMillions. Earlier this year, Adrian and Gillian Bayford scooped €190 million, while Chris and Colin Weir took home €185 million in July 2011.

As well as this, two people – one from Belgium and the other from the UK – split a €156 million windfall in June of this year. Because of this, all that remains for people to do is purchase a EuroMillions Super Draw ticket and sit back and see if their lottery numbers come up.

What Time Does The EuroMillions Draw Take Place At?

A lot of people like to play the EuroMillions lottery because of the big jackpots that are regularly on offer. Indeed, Europe’s most popular lotto had many nine-digit jackpots up for grabs in 2012.

However, one question many people will have is what time is the EuroMillions draw at? The lottery takes place twice a week – on Tuesdays and Fridays – at 20:00 GMT in Paris, France. Lottery tickets need to be bought before 19:10 GMT on the day of the draw and winning tickets are valid for 180 days.

With the odds of winning a prize in EuroMillions being 1:13, it is clear to see why so many individuals try their luck on the lottery.

While national lotteries can be limited to the residents of one particular country, the EuroMillions pools the stakes of the participating European countries in order to offer great top prizes. This means anyone who matches five numbers and two Lucky Stars during the Tuesday or Friday night draws is likely to become a multi-millionaire.

At present there are nine nations taking part in the EuroMillions – Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. However, people from all around the world can enter the EuroMillions online at theLotter, where anyone can also check the latest EuroMillions winning numbers.

Now individuals know what time the EuroMillions draw is at, they have no excuse for not entering and giving themselves a chance of taking home a life-changing sum of money.

There have been a number of heart-warming stories thanks to the EuroMillions. Oliver Milner is one such case, as he won £2 million on the lottery back in September 2012, and can finally move out of his parents’ house with the money.

After discovering his good fortune, he told the Yorkshire Post: “I was in shock. It’s what dreams are made of. I asked my mum to check and she thought I was joking. I’m still in shock now.”

This shows how winning the EuroMillions can truly be an amazing experience for people.

The winner will be the latest in a long line of nine-figure millionaires made in 2012. As well as Adrian and Gillian Bayford scooping €190 million, two people – one from the UK and one from Belgium- took home €156 million in June.

It represents the first time since October 4^th 2011 that a Super Draw has been offered by the EuroMillions and only four of these types of draws have taken place since 2010.

Because of this, people should make sure they purchase lottery tickets for the EuroMillions Super Draw to be in with a chance of taking home a life-changing sum of money.

There are a lot of items they could buy if they scooped €100 million, such as a luxury mansion onLake Como in Italy, where they could be neighbors with Hollywood actor George Clooney.

As well as this, a Bugatti Veyron - a car that costs a cool €1 million – may feature prominently on any wish list, alongside a trip toMonte Carlo to see some of the world’s most exclusive sights.

Wisbech couple Dave and Angela Dawes were the last winners of a EuroMillions Super Draw. They took home over €100 million in October 2011 and used the money to get married, buy a house and enjoy a luxury shopping spree.

The couple admitted the windfall has changed their lives forever and so this is a feeling that a lot people will be keen to experience. Suffice to say, there will be plenty of individuals tuning in to see EuroMillions results on September 28^th.

Man Sews Winning Lottery Ticket Into His Jacket! – September 17th, 2012

Being successful on the lottery presents a number of dilemmas for people.

However, one that may not feature as highly as others is where to store the winning lottery ticket while waiting to get the money.

Calvados Croesus was particularly worried about this after he scooped over €47 million playing the EuroMillions. The Frenchman took a novel approach to protecting his windfall though, by sewing his winning lottery ticket into his jacket.

Some may call him a genius, others crazy, but Mr Croesus was determined to make sure he did not lose the entry slip. Top of the wish list once he receives the windfall is a foreign holiday for the family, as he has never been abroad before, while he also wants to buy a house by the sea.

It marks the first time since June 15^th that a French person has won the EuroMillions – and fifth time in 2012 – while it represents the ninth highest jackpot taken home by someone from the country since the lottery was established in 2004.

The top prize for the next EuroMillions draw tomorrow (September 18^th) is €15 million and so people should buy EuroMillions tickets to make sure they are in with a chance of winning some money.

Mr Croesus’s story highlights the need to keep a lottery ticket in a safe place. Some may use a safety deposit box, others will make sure it is on them at all times and various people may even entrust the ticket to others.

However, if they play online at theLotter, they do not have to worry about this dilemma. This is because three forms of ticket order confirmation – by email, online account and scanned tickets online – are supplied after individuals enter a draw, while they will also receive a winning SMS and email alert should they be successful.

It means there is no need to get stressed out about what to do with the winning lottery ticket, as people can instead focus on working out what they are going to spend the life-changing sum of money on.

Make it a Super Draw September to Remember! – September 13th, 2012

Lottery players across the globe are getting ready to enter two Super Draws this September.

Individuals can get their hands on a guaranteed monster jackpot thanks to the special draws being organized in both Australiaand Europe later in the month. On September 22^nd, the Australia Saturday Lotto Super Draw is taking place.

The top prize on offer will be a minimum of AUS$22 million (€14.3 million), which is much higher than the average windfall of AUS$4 million typically handed out by the lottery.

In order to have a chance of becoming the latest Australia Saturday Lotto Super Draw multi-millionaire, individuals have to buy themselves lottery tickets and wait for the numbers to come out.

The guess range is 1-45 and there will be six main and two bonus numbers drawn. Provided people match all six main numbers, they can start to dream about what they will do with the life-changing sum of money.

Known for offering great winning odds, the Australia Saturday Lotto currently sits on top of the theSmart, so with an increased jackpot on offer, everyone should get involved in the Super Draw.

However, the EuroMillions also has something special planned on September 28^th. A guaranteed €100 million top prize is going to be on offer. This means that even if someone wins in the previous draw, the jackpot will not be reset to €15 million as usual, but instead inflated to €100 million.

As this windfall has to be won on the night, it raises the possibility that someone could take home the prize without matching five numbers and two Lucky Stars. Should no one manage to guess all seven numbers correctly, the jackpot will simply roll down and be shared amongst players in the next winning prize tier.

Since the EuroMillions was started back in 2004, there have been a number of Super Draws held. The last one took place on October 4^th 2011 and the top prize is always increased to a minimum of €100 million and can grow to as much as €130 million.

So people have no excuse for not buying a few lottery tickets and trying to win either of these fantastic Super Draws!
