EuroMillians Christmas Eve - 25 Guaranteed UK Millionaires

A2Z · 22 Dec 2010 at 16:06

Just noticed that this Friday, instead of the normal 1 guaranteed UK millionaire for the raffle, there are going to be 25

The main jackpot pot isnt anything special, I'm gonna play 1 line though, gotta be in it to win it

/edit - title should have an O instead of A!

how can they guarantee 25 people will become millionaires in what is basically gambling? is the draw fixed?

Andr3w · 22 Dec 2010 at 16:11

Not sure but I'm going to get a line

yoyo50 · 22 Dec 2010 at 16:12

Didn't they guarantee winners last year and no one won?

Because you get a code with each line you buy and they'll pick 25.

Not the most complex of ideas...

When I got a ticket for the 115m jackpot a few weeks back it had another number underneath. That was entered into a draw - I think the potential winning combinations are only those numbers/letters that have been bought/issued with a ticket. So by picking one, you guarantee a winner.

Anyone who enters this raffle will get a unique number. They will choose 25 of those unique numbers to award £1m to each.

Each of your lines comes with a unique number, usually 1 unie nunber is drawn and they win 1 mill, this week they are selecting 25.

Good for the economy though mind you, as they just blow the money instantly

My own stupidity knows no bounds, therefore I willingly submit to this particular tax.

Two lines for me!

Cosimo · 22 Dec 2010 at 16:42

Topped up the win and it's four lines for me.

Would be nice to win then i could live in the USA

It's around 6 million people play the euros usually I think, so the raffle normally has better odds than the jackpot, this brings it down into the hundreds of thousands. Significantly better than the 50 million odd of the jackpot on euros, but obviously still not much chance. Enough for me to buy a couple of lines on top of my work syndicate though
