Euro Millions, the Euro Lottery, promises huge jackpots. But chances of winning are much smaller than for a 6 from 49 lottery. So what better reason than to only play with a syndicate!

The New EuroMillions Syndicate

Virtual World Direct (operators of the popular eLottery UK Lotto Syndicate) have now launched a Euro Millions syndicate. Each syndicate group is formed from 39 members giving a total of 36 lines in each draw. We think larger groups would have balanced the chances of winning with the share of prizes a little better, but it's not a major problem - it certainly makes winning the Euro lotto far easier to understand...

Each group is allocated a unique set of 5 numbers - which together with every possible combination of BOTH Lucky Star numbers - are entered into every Friday draw. That means you only need to match 1 ball to win a prize, and match 5 balls to win the enormous jackpot.

Virtual World Direct are a very professional and reliable organisation - who have a solid track record of running large lottery syndicates. If you want to play the Euro lottery, the VWD Euro Millions syndicate is currently your ideal choice.

Open To Players All Over The World

You can normally only buy Euro lottery tickets directly if you live in one of the European countries taking part in the Euro Millions draw. But the VWD syndicate is open to players all over the world.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost is £5 per week (paid monthly in advance). This is a pretty good given the higher price of Euro Millions tickets, and the solid professional administration you get.

There is also a £4-99 per year membership fee, and a one-off Reserve Fund. This is an great idea as it provides 4 weeks of 'just in case' cover should payments be missed for any reason. It ensures both you and the rest of your group stay qualified for the big prizes.

The total up front cost is therefore a reasonable £44-99. Ongoing costs start 1 month later at £20 per month to maintain your entries. VWD offset your winnings against membership fees, so even if you've only had small wins that month you do benefit from a smaller fee the next month.

Join Online & Maintain Your Account Online

As with the UK syndicate, all of the Euro Millions facilities are available online, and emails are sent shortly after every draw to tell you when you win (making Fridays email much more interesting as a result!).

So What Did We Think?

Currently this is the only Euro lottery syndicate available - but given that it comes from VWD, we always knew it was going to be good. The only reason we haven't awarded top marks is those odds are still pretty high for the jackpot. But even so, it's a heck of a lot better than buying just 3 tickets yourself for the same cost!
