Euromillions

Quick question about the euromillions.

I heard you get €4 back if you match 2.

I matched 2. One normal and one lucky star. Does that count?

Bluetonic

The minimum number that must be matched is three.

2 + 1 star, 1 + 2 stars, or match 3.

I think they have changed it to make the big prizes harder to win so they probably added match 2.
There are 11 lucky star numbers now I think.

Euromillions has gone twice weekly to entice us all into doubling our gambling! The upside is more chances to win, including as F1ngers correctly pointed out, a new €4 prize for matching two main numbers. The downside is that by adding 2 more lucky stars, the odds on winning the jackpot have leapt from 76m/1 to 116m/1!
I do have a way to increase your chances of winning though - move to Spain. Whereas we have only won it once, and she now lives in Spain, the Spanish themselves are cleaning up. I will try and buck that trend tomorrow night with a line starting with 16 and ending in 47.
