History
The idea of creating the Eurojackpot lottery was first announced several years ago, at 2006 year as a potential competitor to Euro Millions. Thanks to, that many countries participate in the drawing, lottery is able to accumulate jackpots much more impressive, than one national lottery. After, how the Euro Millions lottery has established itself as a successful venture, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Slovenia, Italy and the Netherlands organized a joint meeting in Amsterdam in November 2011 years with the aim of negotiations on the EuroJackpot lottery with the hope of launching the drawing already in 2012 year. After negotiations, Estonia also expressed its desire to join the lottery. Spain joined EuroJackpot 30 june 2012 of the year, commemorating this event with a charity event, according to which the National Association of the Visually Disabled of Spain (ONCE) received a free ticket grant. 1 february 2013 of the year Croatia also joined the draw, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden.
For the first time EuroJackpot tickets went on sale 17 Martha 2012 of the year, the first draw took place in Helsinki 23 Martha 2012 of the year.
EuroJackpot rules
According to information from this site: https://only.magnitloto.ru/zarubezhnye-loterei/eurojackpot/, playing EuroJackpot is very easy: the participant buys a card with two drawn playing fields: you need to guess 7 numbers (on the first field - 5 of 50, on the second - 2 of 10). When the number of guessed fields is less, the player also receives a prize, but in a lesser equivalent.
After, how the EuroJackpot data will be filled, the ticket is given to the cashier at the lottery terminal (if purchased personally) or sent to online. By the way, player, decisive play online, do not put all numbers manually, how to do with a paper ticket, and use the Pliks-Plaks function and fill in all the data automatically (in random order). Instead of the sent one, another one is issued - with filled values, by which you can check the ticket.
MEGA Millions has a similar game principle (lottery) from USA, where to receive the award you also need to correctly guess five of the numbers presented, but getting access to it on the territory of the Russian Federation is even more difficult, than to EuroJackpot.

Through which intermediary to play
Unfortunately, most reseller sites, like most of the official sites of international lotteries in Russia, was blocked by Roskomnadzor. For what reason was this done, nobody knows. Moreover, those sites, who work now, too sooner or later will be blocked, this cannot be avoided.
But the intermediaries do not give up and continue to create more and more new domain names., which at least for a certain period allow users to get access to the purchase of the coveted ticket. Также более продвинутые пользователи интернета умеют пользоваться специальными инструментами по обходу блокировок.
It all starts to get boring, as users, and the mediator himself. Это приводит к тому, that international lotteries are becoming less popular. And in the end, they are, most probably, will completely leave the Russian-speaking market.
But until that happened, I want to mention one of the most honest intermediaries - Agentlotto. Why do I consider him honest? Because, that they work according to the most transparent scheme and send users scanned copies of purchased tickets.
Generally, watch the video, which shows their scheme of work:
Eurojackpot Joker
The game in the Joker is identical to the game, played in Vikinglotto, can also be raffled at Eurojackpot. This game is often referred to as Friday Joker (friday joker), while the Vikinglotto game is named Wednesday Joker (joker wednesday).
For, to play, select numbers from 0 to 9. The same number can be selected multiple times. You will win a prize, by guessing the digits of a randomly generated Joker number in the same position. The game is played in each participating country separately, each country generates its own Joker winning streak and pays its own prizes.
You can play Joker with Eurojackpot in Finland, Iceland and Latvia. In other countries, such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Joker is raffled along with Vikinglotto and cannot be raffled alongside Eurojackpot. Visit the Joker page for more details.
