EuroMillions (Euro Millions, Euro Millones) is the world's first international multi-country lottery game.
It's Europe's biggest-ever, rolling jackpot lottery game.
EuroMillions was launched by France, Spain and the United Kingdom with its first drawing on February 13, 2004.
The game is currently available to players in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
A Euro Millions player must be a permanent resident in a member country in order to purchase a ticket in the country and in order to collect a prize.
EuroMillions is a Powerball-type lotto game in that numbers are chosen from two different number fields.
Five numbers are chosen from 1 to 50; and two numbers (Lucky Stars) are chosen from 1 to 9.
There are twelve prize categories which means 12 ways to win Euromillions lotto.
To beat the odds of one in 76,275,360 and win the EuroMillions (EuroMillones) jackpot, you must have all seven winning numbers correct.
With rollovers, jackpots are expected to top £ 50 million. Tickets cost 2 Euros each
or £ 1.5. Weekly drawings are held on Friday.
The five balls that are chosen from 50 are claret colored, which we will refer to here as the
Red Balls. The nine balls from which two are chosen are golden colored "Lucky Star" balls.
In spite of the fact that the high odds of the game make your chances of winning Euro Millions are low, there are several things you can do to play the game smarter.
Below are a few lotto tips to help you pick euro millions winning combinations, but Gail Howard's book,
Lottery Master Guide, explains all of her
successful methods of number selection in great detail with examples
of patterns shown throughout. Advantage Plus software
makes all the charts for this game; and the Wheeling Software to use is
Wheel Five Plus.
How to WIN Euro Millions
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST EURO MILLIONS NUMBERS
Treat EuroMillions as two separate lotteries. One is a pick-5 from 50 numbers; the other is
a pick-2 from 9 numbers. Advantage Plus
software tracks the histories of the Red Balls and the Lucky Star balls in two separate files,
which treats them like two separate drawings, each having its own set of charts to make it easy to strategize.
Lottery numbers are randomly drawn. But randomly drawn numbers form patterns
that can be tracked and used to our advantage. Having carefully analyzed all the
drawings in past lottery results of more than 180 different Lotto games worldwide, with
histories going back as far as 1955, Gail Howard has verified the following incredibly simple rule:
That which is MOST POSSIBLE happens MOST OFTEN.
That which is LEAST POSSIBLE happens LEAST OFTEN.
The key to Gail Howard's successful lotto number selection methods is playing
the probabilities. If you play a pattern that occurs only five
percent of the time, you can expect that pattern to lose 95
percent of the time, giving you no chance to win 95 percent of
the time. So, don't buck the probabilities.
How to WIN EuroMillions
ODD-EVEN LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
When you select your Euro Millions Lotto numbers, try to have a relatively even mix of odd and
even numbers. All odd numbers or all even numbers are rarely drawn, occurring less than
3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three odd and
two even, or two odd and three even. One of these two patterns will occur in
68 percent of Euro Millions lotto drawings.
HIGH-LOW LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
Winning numbers are usually spread across the entire number field. If we take a
number field and cut it in half, we have the low half and the high half. In a
50-number game like EuroMillions, numbers 1 to 25 would be in the low half, and numbers 26 to 50
would be in the high half. All high numbers or all low numbers are rarely drawn, occurring
only 3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three
high and two low, or two high and three low. One of these two patterns will occur
in 64 percent of Euromillions results.
LOTTERY NUMBER GROUP STRATEGIES
Look at a list of past winning lottery numbers in the Euromillions results, and you'll see,
more often than not, that one or more of the number groups is not represented. For
example, in the combination 5-8-14-17-32, there are no 20's. Tracking and studying
Number Groups can help you decide which group to omit and which group to give extra
heavy play.
LOTTERY GAMES SKIPPED STRATEGIES
List the number of games skipped (games out) since the last hit (win) for each of
the winning numbers during the last five games. Then mark the number of times each
skip occurred. If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the Lotto numbers that
are out that many games. (Help working with lotto games skipped.)
LOTTO NUMBER SUM ADVICE - PLAY A BALANCED GAME
After you choose five numbers you want to play, add them together and make sure
that the sum of the five numbers adds up to somewhere between 95 and 160. Sums that
fall within that range will account for over 70 percent of all the 5-number sets of
winning EuroMillions Red Balls.
REPEAT HITS LOTTERY TIPS
In EuroMillions results, on average, one lottery number will be a repeat hit from the last drawing every
other drawing or 43 percent of the time.
HOT NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
Numbers that have been out (losers) for six games or less account for about half of
the winning numbers. Losing numbers
that have been out for 12 games or less account for about three-quarters of all the winning numbers. This tells us that hot
numbers are more likely to hit, but don't forget to include at least one long shot in
your group of 5.
COLD NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
It is difficult to know when a cold number will end a long losing streak. If you play a
number every drawing because you think it is due, you could be chasing it
for many months. (Number 45 in New York Lotto sat out 100 drawings before it
finally hit.) Although, when a number has been out for 70 games or so, it might be
worth chasing.
Lottery Pools and Lottery Syndicates
POOL YOUR WAY TO LOTTO RICHES
Several of the
104 Lotto jackpots won with Gail Howard's lottery systems
were won by groups of people
who pooled their money. Sharing the ticket cost with others stretches your Lotto
budget. By playing with a group, you can afford to buy more lottery
tickets—and play larger wheeling systems—than you could (or should) by
yourself. Draw up an agreement and have the members of your pool sign it.
How to Get Lucky in Lotto
CASH IN ON THE LUCK OF OTHERS
When you form a Lotto pool, your group is also pooling its aggregate luck. A
jackpot could happen because of the luck just one member brings to your pool.
Select your partners carefully. Share your luck with winners, not losers. Avoid
negative people. Not only are they unlucky, but they dampen enthusiasm and drain
energy from others. You want to enhance your own luck, not dilute its strength. One
quick way to tell winners from losers is simply to ask them: "Do you think you
are a lucky person?" Many people quickly admit, "I'm unlucky. I never win
anything." They won't bring good luck to your group either.
CASH IN ON A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
No one should play games of chance out of desperation because they need the
winnings. The needy have a greater fear of losing the hard-earned money they gamble
with. It is just one of life's dirty tricks that the very fear of losing blocks the
winning forces. Thoughts are charged with energy, especially when triggered by
emotion. Fear attracts exactly that which one fears. A strong desire for a goal
that is charged with positive energy, attracts a positive response, especially when
every effort is made to attain that goal.
Lottery Wheels
USE BALANCED WHEELING® SYSTEMS
Balanced Wheeling® Systems allow you to bet a large group of numbers (more than 5), play scientific combinations of that group of numbers, and get a specific minimum win guarantee.
Balanced Wheels® force all the winning numbers that are in your group to come together to give you at least one prize if some or all of the winning numbers are in your chosen group.
It's true that the more numbers you wheel, the easier it is to trap the winning
numbers in your chosen group. But to get the most leverage for your money, the optimum
number of numbers to wheel is not more than four or five numbers over HALF the numbers
in your game. To beat the odds of winning Euro Millions, your best chance to win is by
wheeling less than about 30 of the 50 total numbers.
Otherwise, you'll be spending MORE money chasing a SMALLER guaranteed prize.
You benefit more by wheeling a carefully selected group of lotto numbers.
THE BEST WAY TO WHEEL ALL THE LOTTO NUMBERS IN YOUR GAME
Any one wheeling
system that covers ALL the numbers in the game is too spread out, making the win
guarantee not worth the wager. There are smart ways to wheel all the numbers in
the game by using Trap-by-Overlap and other wheeling strategies covered on pages
137 to 142 in Gail Howard's lotto book, Lottery Master Guide.
Most of Gail Howard's lottery winners used a Balanced Wheel in addition to her Smart Luck® number selection methods.

Save Money by Knowing Lotto Numbers to Avoid
Lotto players who select their lottery numbers thoughtlessly or foolishly are destined to lose even before the drawing takes place.
By knowing which number combinations and patterns to avoid, you'll have an advantage over such players—and save money, too.
AVOID NUMBER COMBINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWN BEFORE
Many players like to bet the numbers that have won someone else a big jackpot, and
by doing so, they are almost guaranteed NOT to win one themselves. In the
weekly EuroMillions drawing, a set of five numbers plus the two Luck Star balls
has a chance of being drawn once
every 1,466,833 years!!! This should also answer the question Gail Howard is so often asked,
"Shouldn't I keep playing the same set of numbers every week because they are due
to hit sometime?"
AVOID BETTING FIVE CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS
Even four consecutive numbers is a very rare occurrence that, in most Lotto games,
has never happened once.
AVOID BETTING ONE LOTTO NUMBER GROUP
Never choose all five numbers from one number group, such as all single digits, or
all teens, or all 20's, etc. All five winning numbers drawn from one group is
highly unlikely.
AVOID THE COMBINATION 1-2-3-4-5
The most popular set of numbers most often played is: 1-2-3-4-5. Thousands of
tickets are bought with this combination every drawing. The selection
is too far out of balance to come up in a random drawing.
AVOID PATTERN BETTING
Pattern betting is an even more popular method of marking bet slips. Patterns of
numbers marked in a row to make a straight line, either across the bet slip
vertically or diagonally get heavy play—which means sharing the prize with
others if the numbers are drawn as winners. Other designs such as patterns of
initials or numbers or crosses also get heavy play.
AVOID NUMBER MULTIPLES
Other popular combinations that get heavy play are the number multiples, especially
5-10-15-20-25 and 7-14-21-28-35.
AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
Many people like to play same last digits, such as 3-13-23-33, or all digits that
end in seven, or some other favorite lucky lottery number. Even four same last digits occur
in less than two-tenths of one percent of all drawings. Winning sets of numbers
with no more than one repeated last digit represent nearly 90 percent of all
drawings.
AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
The majority of Lotto players like to play the calendar numbers, such as birth
dates and anniversaries—and their children's ages. This means that the most
heavily played numbers are 1 through 31. EuroMillions has 50 numbers. If you play
only the calendar numbers, you might be sharing your jackpot with dozens of other
winners. It's not to say that you shouldn't play your personal numbers if you feel these lucky numbers are good to play. But Gail Howard recommends that you include a couple of high
numbers so that just in case your numbers do hit, you win a prize that's worth
something.
