£125,000,000 Jackpot Rouses Giant Global Interest
Europe's EuroMillions Lottery has 'rolled over' 11 times with no winner and so has amassed a giant jackpot equivalent to £125,000,000 for the coming draw this Friday evening (GMT) 3rd February 2006.
Not available to be played from outside Europe, players around the world are taking advantage of e-Lottery's syndicate system to play the EuroMillions through which they can win a share of this world record jackpot.
e-Lottery gives them a far better chance of a substantial cash win than playing on their own, if they were able to, because the mathematical set up of the syndicates means players slash the odds from an overpowering 76 million to one to a far more acceptable 2.1 million to one.
Syndicate members will win well over £3,000,000 each should their syndicate win the current jackpot and this is certainly an amount worth having.
Euro Millions is a weekly lottery which pools the stakes of nine European countries, namely: Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. By pooling stakes in this way, the prizes offered by Euro Millions dwarf many national lotteries most weeks and are full payout, meaning the whole amount of any win is paid out.
The UK's top EuroMillions jackpot winner is Marion Richardson, from Gateshead, who won £16,000,000 ($28,800,000) on 9 April 2004, two months after the game was launched.
The biggest EuroMillions winner so far was Ireland's Dolores McNamara in the EuroMillions draw of July 2005 with a win of £79,000,000 ($142,200,000).
