Mega Jackpot Update

Less than 24 hours after we told you that a single ticket had won the €100,000,000 EuroMillions Mega Jackpot of Friday 18 September, news has come in that the ticket belonged to a French lottery syndicate. The syndicate has 15 members and is based in the village of Venelles in the South of France. Venelles only has 8,000 residents and local news sources are reporting that it didn’t take long for excitement about the Mega Jackpot win to reach fever pitch!

By playing as a syndicate, each of the 15 members effectively leveraged their money to maximise their chances of winning. This is something that anyone can do, and not just for Mega Jackpot draws. There are plenty of syndicates that play the EuroMillions game week after week, and if you don’t already belong to one then you could start your own.

The best way to keep syndicate lottery entries safe and sound is to play EuroMillions online. Playing online would give you, as the syndicate leader, proof that you have entered the numbers, and makes it impossible to lose your tickets. Even better, you won’t have to worry about checking all of your syndicate tickets manually (something that could be time-consuming if you have more than one or two members) because any win you achieve is brought to your attention by email.

Of course, not everyone wants to play the EuroMillions lottery game as a syndicate, and you could just as easily buy more tickets as an individual to increase your chances of winning. It might involve more expense, but if the eventual payoff was a seven or eight figure bank balance then you probably wouldn’t mind that!

The next EuroMillions jackpot on Friday 25 September will be worth around €15 million, so if you haven’t done so already, buy your EuroMillions tickets now and the next big headline on this site could be all about you!
