The very initial lottery draw was held in Paris, France, and six more European lotteries were consecutively added on October of 2006 (as follows - Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland) comprising the nine lotto partaking states we have at present. This makes the EuroMillions one of the leading lotteries worldwide and undeniably one of the most exhilarating.
