Friday
the 13th is supposed to be unlucky for some, but it was
on that particular day in February 2004 that the first
EuroMillions draw took place. That first draw, which was
hosted by a trio of companies in the main participating
countries the Francaise des Jeux in France, Camelot
in the UK and the Loterias y Apuestas des Estad in Spain
boasted a jackpot of 15 million, and earned Euro Millions
the accolade of being an instant success.
But that wasnt really true. |
| The EuroMillions concept was originally conceived
in the early nineties, and it took a decade of wrangling
with administration and bureaucratic issues to bring to
reality. In retrospect, we can say that the end result
was well worth the wait, as the concept itself matured
over time like a fine bottle of vintage wine, and some
believe that if the concept had been launched immediately
it wouldnt have been the massive success that it was
a decade later. |
