The five numbers must be chosen from numbers between 1 and 50, the two lucky stars from 1 and 9. There are lots of smaller division prizes too but the jackpot is the big one and has been known to climb as high as £300 million!

Draws are held once weekly in Paris every Friday evening and players from all across Europe purchase tickets at €2 each in the hope of getting lucky. Ticket prices are set at €2 for the whole of Europe and at £1.50 in the UK, the only non Euro country to participate.
The biggest Euromillions win was scooped by one Dolores McNamara from Ireland who scooped over €300 million in 2005 to become not only the biggest ever Euromillions winner but also the person to take home the biggest win to go to a single ticket holder.
The lottery really is big business with Camelot-the organisers of the UK lotto- running operations from within the UK.
