Who wants to be a millionaire?
Top lottery searches:
Every Friday night, someone in Europe has the chance to become a millionaire. There are huge amounts of money to be won if you play the Euromillions lottery. And although there is only a 1 in 24 chance of winning even the smallest amount (and tiny odds for the jackpot), it's still exciting to buy a lottery ticket and keep your fingers crossed!
It is possible to win it big. In the past, individual winners have scored between £30 and £110 million pounds - all for themselves! Others have been elated to win the draw, only to find they have to share the jackpot with up to 20 other people - that must be quite a blow. But, if it's possible for 20 people to all choose the winning numbers at the same time, then it must be possible for you to choose the winning numbers sometime ... right?
If you don't already know, the way to play is you have to pick 5 main numbers ranging from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Stars ranging from 1 to 9. If you match all 7 numbers, you win the jackpot. If you get 3 numbers right you win a prize - this can be a combination of 3 main numbers, 2 main numbers and 1 Lucky Star or 1 main number and 2 Lucky Stars.
