The Euro lottery was in the first place launched by the national lotteries of the United Kingdom, Spain and France and was disclosed on February 04. The initial lottery draw was on Feb 13th 04 in Paris. The France, Spain and the UK were the only nations partaking in the beginning but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland likewise got engaged on October 2004.
The Euro millions lotto or the Euro lotto, as it’s commonly well-known, gathers the lotto ticket receipts of the 9 partaking Euro countries giving a mammoth EURO LOTTO jack-pot. With the amount of nations joining the Euro on the increase, that will without question will lead to more countries participating in the Euro lottery. A growth in the number of individuals partaking in the European Lottery will result in a continued growth of the already giant EuroMillions “jackpots”.
Q. How Would You Play The EuroMillions Lottery
Each and every player has to select 5 primary numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Star numbers from 1 to 9. During the lottery draw, five main plus 2 “lucky-star” numbers are then picked out at random from 2 lotto draw machines containing numbered balls.
European Lottery Winnings
The chances of scooping up the Euromillions jack-pot is a far-off 1 in 76 million but the chances of acquiring a cash prize is a somewhat decent 1 : twenty-four. When the “jackpot” is not won on a given lottery draw, it is carried over to the following lottery draw which results in an ever increasing jack-pot value. New regulations brought in on the 09/02/2007 set the number of successive roll overs to eleven, with the jackpot rolling down to smaller prize levels succeeding the eleventh lotto draw if the prize is not collected.
The new regulations also initiated Euro Lotto Super-Draw which happen twice yearly and offer jackpots in the region of 100 million pounds. The difference with Super Draws is that the jack-pot must be won during the week of the lottery draw; this means, if there is no lotto ticket matching, all the drawn numbers then the top prize will then be distributed to the lottery ticket bearer(s) in the next winning prize tier.

Standards have changed. Not so long ago, people marveled at the radio broadcasts that were transmitted into their homes. As televisions became popular, people were generally content with whatever image was beamed into their world.Picture quality has evolved over the ages for the better. An luckily for us, in line with the introduction of other technologies, HDTV has ushered in another new age. Gone are the days when you could be happy with washed-out colors and a low resolution. Now you want a clearer picture and sharper colors, and you want it all for an affordable price.
HDTV is the pinnacle of TV technology.A standard television gives you a clear color picture. HDTV gives you an even sharper picture. Picture it this way, watching a standard TV is like viewing the world through a dirty windowpane. With HDTV, there is no window. The images on the television screen are as close to lifelike as you can get, that is, without actually getting off the couch and watching real-life images. An HDTV can accomplish this feat with its high resolution; a million pixels, often more, combine to create a brilliant picture that will wow any viewer.
But technology always comes at a price. Fortunately, prices are falling every year. Five years ago, most people were priced out of the HDTV market.
However, you need to be aware of a few facts. Owning an HDTV does not guarantee you the whole high-definition experience.First, you will need a high-definition cable or satellite box. This sends the HD channels to your television; without one, you can only watch standard programming. Second, you will need high-def channels. Your cable or satellite provider offers a line-up of HD channels, though the number of available HD channels is nowhere close the number of available standard channels. Third, you will need an HD show or movie. Not all shows broadcast on an HD station are necessarily high-definition; news programs are often broadcast in standard-definition, as are most daytime programs. If you are watching a standard-def show, you may see a black bar on either side of the screen. Also, since you are watching a standard-def show on a high-def screen, the picture will not be nearly as clear or as sharp as with an HD program. Only when you have all three elements - an HD box, channel and show - can you experience television like never before.

Stag Party
Way, way, way back in history the stag party was celebrated in all sorts of ways, and you thought it was a modern day invention, shame on you.
The Vikings stag party would consist of flagons of ale, pillaging, buxom wenches and fighting, well they did think they would only go to heaven if they died in a fight.
Poor Henry VIII, he had more stag parties then a busy working girl in Amsterdam. Do you think he chopped the heads off his wives because he was addicted to stag parties ?? Wow, we are writing history here!
These days, the majority of us have been on holiday with large groups of friends, been to University together, partied together its like getting divorced from your friends and getting married to the one you love. Its not like you won’t see your friends again, is it?
With this being said, maybe it is like being reborn. After the days of Singledon and getting frightfully drunk with your friends maybe it is a time for change, a time for settling down and giving your liver a rest!

A European Christmas
by C. Bailey-Lloyd
With the holidays right around the corner, it’s hard not to reminisce our childhood memories and holidays of yesteryear. In each culture, there are differing values and traditions which are celebrated in different ways.
During the 70’s, growing up ‘German’ in Europe was one of the most fascinating and magical decades. Having strong German roots, our family participated in many German Christmas traditions. One of those traditions was Advent. The Advent, or Christmas calendar, is picture-box calendar decorated with wintry & Christmas scenes, biblical characters and ‘St. Nicolas.’ On the face of the calendar, are 24 small doors, each containing a small chocolate - one opened each day for the holiday season. The December 24th door, which is the ‘Heiligabend’ (Christmas Eve) is usually the largest door on the calendar and most often contains a chocolate Nativity. As children, we relished in this fun, and tasty feature of the holiday season.
But Advent wasn’t simply comprised of the Holiday Calendar, we also partook in the Advent Wreath, or ‘Adventskranz’ which was beautifully displayed on tables throughout the house. Wreathes held 4 candles; the first candle being lit the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and another one each Sunday thereafter. Around the evergreen wreath of candles, our family would gather as each candle was meticulously lit. My mom would recite a simple, German passage each time she would light a candle:
“Advent, Advent
Ein Kerzlein brent.
Erst Eins,
den Zwei,
den Drei,
den Vier -
den steht der Christkind vor der tur.”
Which translates into, ‘Advent, Advent, a candle burns. First one, then two, then three, then four - then stands the Christ Child before the door.’
For you see, in Germany, it is the ‘Christkind’ (Christ Child) who brings gifts on Christmas Eve.
Another childhood pastime was St. Nikolaustag Nikolaustag (St. Nicholas Day) was a fun and lighthearted tradition whereby children everywhere anxiously awaited the arrival of December 6th when the Nikolaus, or Weinachtsmann (Santa Claus) came. Leading up to Nikolaustag, we children would have to behave very well, because St. Nikolaus could ’see everything’ we did. And the night before December 6th, we would have to clean our winter boots meticulously to put outside our doors. Why the heck would we clean our boots and place them outside our doors? Well, I’ll tell you why - if we were good, and our boots were really clean, St. Nikolaus would stuff our boots with candies, little toys and chocolates. If we were bad, we would receive a bundle of switches or lumps of coal.
Unknown to popular American custom, the ‘Weinachtsmann’ was conceived by German-American Illustrator, Thomas Nast, who created the Christmas image of Santa in America - which, ultimately set a precedent for the permanent, symbolic establishment of Santa Claus.
Traditionally, German Christmas is observed through ‘Heilige Drei Konige Tag,’ or Three Kings Day (also known as the Magi or the Wise Men). In some parts of Europe, such as Austria, Germany and Switzerland, the Letters C + M + B (Caspar, Melchor, and Balthazar - and, ‘Christus mansionem benedicat,’ meaning ‘Christ bless this house.’) are etched with chalk above doorways and home entrances on January 6th. Of course, this is the epitome of the 12 Days of Christmas
Finally, on the ‘Cristkind Abend (Christ Child Eve or Christmas Eve), aside from the Weinachts Baum (Christmas Tree custom started by Martin Luther), families receive ‘Bunte Teller,’ or colored plates filled with oranges, candies, Marzipan (comprised of almonds and suger), Lebkuchen (gingerbread), Stollen (fruit bread) and an assortment of chocolates and other goods. Before any gifts are exchanged, Christmas Carols like Stille Nacht (Silent Night from Austrian composer Franz Gruber) are sung by the tree.
To this day, I am still amazed at the profound effects of Christmas’ past have had on me. As a child, the holiday was mystical and magical, as an adult, its beautiful memories are forever etched in my heart and soul.
Wishing all a happy, memory-filled, holiday season, I am sincerely,
