Those crazy Euro folk have decided it’s time for another shake-up to the popular EuroMillions game. Starting with the draw on Tuesday 27th September 2016, these will be the latest changes to the game:-

• Ticket price will increase from €2 to €2.50 (£2 to £2.50 in the UK)
• An extra Lucky Star ball will be added
• The odds of winning the jackpot will go from 1-in-116 million to 1-in-140 million
• Jackpots will increase, now starting at €17M and will roll over more often

The jackpot cap still remains at €190M however, so this could reduce the maximum length of time before a jackpot is won.
