Euro Lottery question.
Does anyone know whether the British play this game more than the other participating nations?
The game runs in Nine countries - the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Austria - participate in Euromillions, with ticket sales from all of them going into the jackpot fund.
Yet, in the padt month, Uk players have won the jackpot 3 times each getting £40+millions. That seems too much of a coincidence. If the Brits comprise of the majority of players then it could explain why we keep winning.
Anyone know of any breakdown of which nationality plays and the number of participants?

As far as I know, this law is still the de facto position of the German Federal government/State governments...
If you mean Euromillions, you can't play this online. In Germany there is a ban on internet gambling EXCEPT the Lottos organised by the states in Germany. This has been contested in the European Court. AFAIK they have recently ruled that Germany is in breach of EU competition law but this must still be corrected in German law and until then, you're stuck playing the German state lotto.
