The EuroMillions draw links the British lottery with Francaise des Jeux of France and Spain's Loterias y Apuestas del Estado. Tickets will go on sale in the U.K. and France from February 7 and from February 9 in Spain, with the first draw on February 13. "The greater the number of players, the bigger the jackpots," said Camelot's chief executive Dianne Thompson. Players will need to match five main numbers from one to 50 and two "Lucky Star" numbers from one to nine to win the jackpot, which Camelot estimated would initially be £10 million, with an average jackpot of £14 million. Rollover jackpots could take the total to as much as 50 million pounds. Tickets will cost 1.5 pounds -- two euros in France and Spain -- with players having a one in 24 chance of winning a prize. Camelot said other European countries are said to be interested and may join the scheme in 2005 and 2006. The draw for the lottery will be shown on BSkyB's Sky One channel at 9 p.m. every Friday, the first time a national lottery draw has been shown on a British satellite channel. Camelot also used the occasion to announce a turnaround in the flagging fortunes of the ten-year-old National Lottery, which has suffered in recent years from waning public interest. It said ticket sales had remained stable at 1.1 billion pounds during each of the last three quarters -- its best performance in four years.
