World Lottery Draw

The World Lottery Draw is a proposed global lottery game that will, if the details released are reliable, dwarf even the largest current lotteries. We already have some impressively large lotteries, and one – Euromillions – allows players from nine countries to participate. The countries that take part in Euromillions are Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and jackpots have a minimum guaranteed value of €15 million. With a built-in rollover feature allowing jackpot funds to go from one draw to the next if no winner is found, Euromillions jackpots can grow to colossal amounts – the biggest on record so far was worth €183 million.

Euromillions was co-founded by Camelot Group plc, which was also responsible for launching and operating the National Lottery in the UK way back in 1994. It is Camelot that has put forward the concept of a World Lottery, but instead of having “just” nine countries participating, it proposes many times that.

At the time of writing, lottery organisers from no less than 48 nations have expressed an interest in being part of the World Lottery Draw, and if this is anything close to the number of countries that will participate when the project becomes a reality, lottery players around the globe can look forward to unprecedented levels of excitement and wealth.

Camelot say that they hope the World Lottery Draw would create up to one hundred millionaires in a typical draw, and that there could also be a superdraw each year which offers even bigger prizes. Some critics have argued that the world has no need for a lottery offering jackpots that are bigger than the ones that are already available, but there is no doubt that if such massive jackpots were on offer, the lottery-playing public would welcome them with a high degree of enthusiasm.
