Euro Millions report record sales
When the Euro Millions Lottery launched in 2003, everyone knew it was going to be huge and it certainly hasn’t disappointed. With jackpots like the £53 million up for grabs last Friday night, it’s easy to see why the Euro Millions has become Europe’s favourite lottery and now the Euro Millions report record sales, but unfortunately there’s also record unclaimed prizes to be reported too.
In the last twelve months, UK Lottery sales from the UK Lotto and Euro Millions Lottery are expected to reach £5.7 billion, having already reached £5.1 billion by last week and it’s said to be the recession that has us all choosing our lucky numbers in the hope of a win.
We’re not sure about that, it could be the sheer volume of rollover jackpots up for grabs over the last twelve months, the Euro Millions Lottery broke two UK records last year and it proves one of the luckiest years ever for UK lottery players. This is surely another contributory factor for high ticket sales and no doubt the £68 million Euro Millions jackpot up for grabs next weekend will get plenty of interest too, as the big jackpot next weekend pushes lottery sales even higher.
However, alongside this figure, Euro Millions officials have also released details on unclaimed lottery prizes in the UK, which now total £1.1 billion for the UK Lotto and Euro Millions Lottery.
