Which European Lotteries Have the Biggest Jackpots?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In first place is the Italian SuperEnalotto which is the largest national lottery in all of Europe. It\u2019s most known for its incredibly difficult odds that create incredibly enormous jackpots! While it only starts at \u20ac2 million<\/strong>, the jackpot can reach well over \u20ac100 million<\/strong> before being won. The lottery even has set a phenomenal European jackpot record of \u20ac371 million<\/strong> in February 2023! This SuperEnalotto jackpot is currently the biggest European lottery prize ever awarded!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroMillions, which offers up a jackpot prize that starts at \u20ac17 million<\/strong> that has grown to reach a record-breaking \u20ac240 million<\/strong> in the past! This is the second biggest lottery prize ever awarded by a European lottery. The lottery\u2019s current jackpot cap is set at \u20ac250 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Italian SuperEnalotto also holds the third biggest jackpot with it\u2019s \u20ac209 million<\/strong> record from August 2019! This SuperEnalotto jackpot remained the biggest European lottery prize ever awarded for over a year and a half before EuroMillions took it\u2019s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another transnational lottery to offer incredible multi-million euro jackpots is EuroJackpot, which is the biggest lottery in Europe! Players from 18 European countries can get a chance at ending the week with a jackpot that can reach \u20ac120 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Types of Lotteries Are Available in Europe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Europe offers two types of lotteries: national and transnational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transnational lotteries are available in several countries. These draws tend to have much larger prize pools due to the sheer number of people participating. While the main draw and prizes are mutual, some countries also hold exciting raffles alongside the draw. For example, Spanish EuroMillions players have a chance at winning an extra \u20ac1 million<\/strong> prize in each draw from the El Millon raffle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, Europe has three transnational lottery draws:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroMillions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Europe’s biggest lottery to date was established in February 2004 by France’s Fran\u00e7aise des Jeux, Spain’s Loter\u00edas y Apuestas del Estado and the United Kingdom’s Camelot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2012, EuroMillions has had a jackpot that resets to \u20ac17 million<\/strong> after it\u2019s won. This amount will grow with each rollover until it reaches the jackpot cap, which is now \u20ac250 million<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, EuroMillions tickets are sold in 9 European countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday at 20:45 CET in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroJackpot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With 18 participating countries under its belt, EuroJackpot is the biggest lottery draw offered in Europe. Launched in 2012, this European gem is often regarded as EuroMillions little brother due to the smaller jackpots and prizes. But don\u2019t let that keep you from playing! EuroJackpot is still considered one of Europe\u2019s most exciting lotteries, offering a multi-million euro jackpot and 11 additional prizes that rival those of EuroMillions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jackpot prize starts at \u20ac10 million<\/strong>, and if not won, it can eventually reach the lottery’s \u20ac120 million<\/strong> cap. You can get a chance at winning EuroJackpot prizes twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday night in Helsinki, Finland, at 19:00 GMT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroDreams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EuroDreams, Europe’s latest lottery sensation, kicked off its inaugural draw on November 6, 2023, unveiling two fortunate jackpot winners. What sets this lottery apart is its captivating prize structure, promising winners a life-changing jackpot prize of 20,000 euros monthly, for a remarkable 30 years<\/strong>! It’s not just a windfall; it’s a lasting financial embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EuroDreams lottery draws occur twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays at 21:00 local time in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National lottery tickets are only available within the borders of the country offering them. While they\u2019re usually much smaller than transnational lotteries that are offered in multiple countries, with the exception of Italy\u2019s SuperEnalotto, these local draws maintain loyal fanbases. Spain’s La Primitiva<\/a> is one of Europe’s oldest lotteries and remains a firm favourite among Spanish fans due to the jackpot cap-free policy that create enormous large multi-million euro prizes! Another beloved draw is the Polish Mini Lotto<\/a> that offers daily lottery draws and some of the most affordable European lottery tickets out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
