Rules of the game
Everything European seems to us incomprehensible and confusing. But this is only at the beginning. One has only to master the rules and start the game, how everything falls into place. And if you also study the statistics of number dropouts in parallel (presented at euromillions official website in Russian), then the motivation for the game will increase significantly.
Chance of winning EuroMillions one of the prizes 1/13, and this is a very high indicator. Well, in general, the odds table looks like this:

But back to the rules. I'll tell you briefly: the player selects five numbers from 1 to 50 and two more additional numbers from 1 to 11, so called Lucky Stars. They are the ones who play a key role in winning..
These five main numbers give you the chance to win mid-tier cash prizes, and the “lucky stars” illuminate the path to absolute victory - the Jackpot itself.
According to the theory of probability, it is impossible to guess correctly so many numbers a priori. But try to express your doubts to one of the players- Europeans - EuroMillions Draw Results Surprise the Number of Lottery Millionaires.
The minimum jackpot is 15 million euros. From time to time, the organizers arrange super-draws, in which the main prize starts from 100 million euros.
How much does the ticket cost
By European standards - mere pennies. Two euros for one ticket plus one euro for the additional option "Millionaire Raffle".
For those, who doesn't know, this additional option allows you to select instead 5 one more or more digits, which greatly increases the chances of winning. As far as I know, additional drawing of Millionaire Raffle is not available for Russians.
2 euros at the current exchange rate are 122,9 ruble. Price at the level of most domestic lotteries, which in turn is a big plus.
The best foreign lotteries, which Russians can play
Most foreign lotteries are prohibited in Russia. Nonetheless, those, who are licensed to conduct draws and sell tickets. Here are some of these organizations, who have been working on the Russian market for many years.
EuroMillions
This lottery is presented in nine countries of the European continent. On the official website of the project, anyone can purchase a ticket for one of the draws. Cash prizes are drawn twice a week, and you can find out about your winnings, by visiting your personal account on the EuroMillions website.
The EuroMillions jackpot is currently 57 million euros.
Fat
The famous Spanish lottery, whose organizers hold cash prizes every week. Unfortunately, on the official website of El Gordo there is no support for the Russian-language interface, but, Nonetheless, Russians win money are paid in full, including e-wallets or bank cards.
The El Gordo lottery ticket costs only 1 euros, and millions of people in Europe and Latin America take part in the drawings themselves.
EuroJackpot
Another lottery, which are very popular among residents of European states. Russian-language version of the interface on the official EuroJackpot website, which greatly simplifies the process of purchasing tickets and tracking the results of draws.
At the moment, the jackpot of this lottery is 21 million euros.
LottoSmile
Another equally popular lottery with a worldwide reputation. Ticket prices are not fixed and the more expensive a ticket, the greater the chance of winning. Many experienced players have noted, that LottoSmile does not have a high winning percentage due to the difficulty of choosing a winning combination of numbers.
Among other foreign lotteries, players should also pay special attention to such, как Wintrillions, MegaMillions, PowerBall, LottoLucker, SuperEnalotto, OzLotto and others. Each of these organizations have official websites, on the pages of which you have the opportunity to purchase lottery tickets and follow the drawing online
How foreign lotteries work in Russia?
As I stated above, not many foreign organizations sell lottery tickets through their official websites. Most often it looks like this: you deposit a certain amount of money for the service and order a ticket; then a special person acquires a lottery ticket on your behalf and sends you its scan. You just have to wait until the end of the drawing and contact the lottery administration, for details on how, how to collect cash reward.
I think, you get the point, that this scheme has one extra link - "agent". This person can deceive you, by simply collecting money and not providing a lottery ticket. Or fake a ticket through photo editors. In general, a lot of frauds can be done, so be careful when sending money to strangers or services, which you don't trust.
