One winning Euro Millions lottery ticket was sold in France for a record 33 million euros (US$39 million).
Euro Millions, a multi-country lottery game currently played in France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, was launched in February.
Jackpots start at 15 million Euros (US$17.7 million), and grow until there is a winner.
The jackpot is the only prize that is shared among all Euro Millions countries; all lower-tier prizes are determined based on the amount of sales and winning tickets within each individual country.
The previous record Euro Millions jackpot of 25.5 million euros ($30.3 million) was won by a British woman on April 9.
Euro Millions is unique among premier lotto games in that players select two bonus numbers (called "Lucky Stars") in addition to 5 regular lotto numbers. Traditionally, multi-jurisdiction games are drawn with one bonus number.
Drawings for Euro Millions are held every Friday at 9:00 PM GMT (4:00 PM New York, USA time).

they need fixed prize amounts for the lower tier prizes.
Their lower-tier prizes rock. Have you ever played? I did, and what a great game!
yes, but the prizes vary from country to country. the lower prizes are determined by the sales in each country.
Doesn't matter, the prizes in each country are awesome, and they're running the game perfectly!
how far off is the second prize in each country?
Sounds like the lower tier prizes are nice. The lowest tier prize paid $13, but the tickets are expensive.
