Birthday Mega Jackpot 2010
A EuroMillions birthday Mega Jackpot worth €100 million will be captivating lottery players across the world on Friday 5 February, 2010. No official connection between the Mega Jackpot and the sixth birthday of the EuroMillions game has been highlighted, but as the first ever EuroMillions draw was on Friday 13 February, 2004, the timing of this latest Mega Jackpot makes the connection fairly self-apparent.
The last Mega Jackpot was in September 2009, and on that occasion the €100,000,000 jackpot was won by a syndicate of 15 players in village of Venelles in the South of France.
Playing as a syndicate is always popular when the EuroMillions jackpot is considerably larger than usual, and there are several good reasons for this. The main one is that playing as a syndicate gives members a greater chance of winning than they would have when playing alone, but without any additional outlay.
For example, if five friends each invest the cost of one ticket and agree to play as a syndicate then each member has five chances of winning the jackpot for the price of just one ticket. Of course, it has to be recognised that if any of those tickets do win then the prize must be shared between the syndicate members equally, so they wouldn’t win as much as they could when playing alone. That said, when the jackpot is worth €100 million – as it will be on Friday 5 February – then there is more than enough for everyone.
Participating in the birthday Mega Jackpot game is just as easy as participating in any other EuroMillions game, but because the interest in larger jackpots is obviously higher, it makes even more sense to play EuroMillions online so that you can avoid lengthy holdups in offline retail outlets. Another advantage of playing online is that you will be notified automatically if you are lucky enough to win – and you won’t have to worry about losing your winning ticket!
We congratulate EuroMillions on six successful years, and we wish everyone who plays for the birthday Mega Jackpot of €100 million the very best of luck!
