    Prizes:
    2 x €1 Million
    5 x €100,000
    45 x €10,000
    80 x €5000
    100 x €1000
    300 x €500

    532 prizes altogether with only 300,000 tickets being sold. €20 per ticket
    I'm not great at maths but this seems pretty good

    Is it 1 in 600ish wins a prize?
    Me and a mate went splits on a ticket

    Anyone else get a ticket?

    Nope, been thinking about buying one though... those odds aren't fantastic but they're better than the regular lotto!
    Are there any tickets left for it, they've been on sale for ages?!

    Hmmmm sounds good.

    May take a crack at it for the laughs.*

    Upon looking at it, they are set to make over two million on this. Smart move that.

    *By laughs I really mean because I want the money, I just don't want to be disheartened if I don't win a million euro.

    Nope, 150,000 tickets being sold, 2 million winners, so the odds are halved.

    300,000 tickets being sold at €20 = €6,000,000
    Total prize fund = 3,600,000
    So 60% of total in prizes.

    afaik, the normal lotto give ~50% in prizes.
    So nothing special here really, except the minimum spend.
