  Euro Millions jackpot is at an all time high of $136 million dollars!!!  Thats lump sump and tax free.  Thats basically an equivalent of a $360 million MM jackpot.  Wish I was traveling in Europe right now. 

  Todd, have you found a place online where we can buy Euro Millions tickets?

  Yes, such a ridiculous jackpot!  Wish I could get a ticket!

  Maybe there could be a side note on the Jackpots page that lists what the equivalent value would be if it were advertised here as pre-tax annuity, just for accurate comparison to MM and PB.

  On the UK National Lottery website, the next jackpot is estimated to be £77,000,000

  (http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/gaming/drawgame/displayEuroPlayslip.do)

  With the current exchange rate of $1.7390 to £1 the jackpot is estimated to be $133,901,400!!!! ALL TAX FREE AND LUMP SUM. And the odds of winning are not as long as MM or PB. And to top it all, in the UK, you can create an account on the UK National Lottery website with a legit UK debit card (and UK residency) and play most of the games online including Euro Millions.

  Wish we had these options here in the U.S.

  The lower-tier payouts make up for it.

  Do Euro Millions draw a 5+1 matrix or 6 number matrix? What are the odds of winning?

  I looked at it and never heard about 5+2 game until I looked at website. Normally, I would focus on 5+1 games.
