A lucky lottery player has won an amazing €97,185 on the EuroMillions draw after entering via the European Lottery Guild (ELG), a lottery-entry service that allows customers around the world to play European lottery games.
The amazing win follows hot on the heels of another big EuroMillions win in November, when a 21-year-old Australian scooped a staggering €649,418 after buying his ticket through ELG. Both men will have to keep on playing, however, if they wish to match the good fortune of William Potter, a British customer who won €17.4 Million with European Lottery Guild back in 2005.
“We’ve been looking out for another one of our customers to win big on EuroMillions and we're thrilled for this recent winner," said Elisabeth Moore, Customer Relations Manager for European Lottery Guild.
“€97,185 is a fantastic amount to win. It’s great that we can give customers outside the EuroMillions nations an opportunity to play for Europe’s biggest lottery prizes.”
The win occurred on Friday 12th February in the same draw that delivered Britain's biggest ever lottery winners. Justine Laycock and Nigel Page, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, scooped €64.8 Million after sharing the €129 Million EuroMillions jackpot with one other winner from Spain.
Tickets for EuroMillions, as well as some of the biggest national lottery draws in countries such as Ireland France and Britiain, can be purchased worldwide via European Lottery Guild, the world’s largest and most trusted lottery-entry service.
EuroMillions players choose five main numbers from a field of 1 to 50, plus two ‘lucky star’ numbers from a field of 1 to 9. A jackpot win occurs when a player matches all five main numbers and both lucky stars. There are also 11 additional prize categories on offer.
The €97,185 ELG winner was lucky with a quick-pick ticket, having matched five main numbers for a third category prize, one of only 20 worldwide.
All European Lottery Guild winners receive the full value of their prize, with no deductions of any kind, and winnings are paid out promptly. All the customer pays is the price of their lottery ticket, which includes the cost of the European Lottery Guild service. After that, you won't pay a penny more, no matter how much you win.
