How to Take Part in EuroMillions from South Africa

As the EuroMillions jackpot reaches record-breaking levels, players across Europe are eagerly snapping up their tickets in the hope that they will win the €190 million jackpot. But what if you want to take part in EuroMillions in South Africa? Read on to discover how you could land a gigantic sum of cash from the other side of the globe.

Powerball, Lotto or EuroMillions?

Lottery lovers in South Africa are spoiled for choice when it comes to playing for big prizes. Lotto and Powerball currently offer the largest rewards, with the former recently offering a R16 million windfall, while the latter regularly boasts jackpots in excess of R20 million. However, as tempting as these prizes may be, they are considerably smaller than the EuroMillions base level jackpot of €17 million, which is worth approximately R270 million.

That is obviously a life-changing sum of money, and that's just the minimum jackpot! So imagine how many Rand you would receive if you landed the current EuroMillions prize now that is has reached its €190 million jackpot cap. The answer is a breathtaking R3.04 billion!
