Euromillions Millionaire Raffle - Who Wins?

Is it just me or is it very, very quiet regarding any winners of this raffle that they are charging an extra 50p for. I've not heard of a single article in the press of any winners and there's nothing in the unclaimed prizes either.:(

    the 50p increase is mainly down to the pound crashing against the Euro thanks to all the free money Gordo has been printing

    Not me. Did win just under £9 the other day though. 2 star numbers and 1 other number.

    I'll bet you're one of those people for whom 'it won't change my life', 'I'll still stay in my council house', 'I'll carry on with my cleaning job.'

    Grrrrrrr. why do the wrong people always get the big wins!:mad::p

  • i remember getting 4 numbers on the euro once and thinking wow! first time i've ever matched that and got more than a tenner,
    so got all excited and checked t'internet to see how much i had won - a whopping £12 odd lol :D
    Can you see the mountains through the fog?
  • I have been thinking the very same thing recently. You would think that in the weeks that there is no winner (ie rollover) you would hear about the raffle winner.

    I too thought that there was an extra prize (ie a raffle) for the extra 50p on the euro ticket! wasnt the promise made that it would make someone a millionaire every week (perhaps it was the same someone - Camelot or whoever is running it now)?
    I have had more wins on the Euro than on the Lotto (dont get excited - they were only tenners or so) and considering how many millions must buy the Euro cant work out how the odds have decreased instead of increased for me personally.
    as they say - Good Luck Everyone!

    right hand side, under additional info, tells you if someone has won.
  • Surely the point of the UK raffle is that someone, in the UK WILL win the £1 million prize?

    Whether or not they realise they've won it surely is a different question?
    2014 Target;
    To overpay CC by £1,000.
    Overpayment to date : £310

    2nd Purse Challenge:
    £15.88 saved to date
  • Lets be honest we don't hear about the normal UK lottery jackpot winners any more do we? Can't remember the last one I heard about. So I guess the press are no longer interested in people who've won £1-2million but are in £20m or £50m.

    Then there is always the I don't want publicity tick box...

    Edit:
    Just had a quick look and people made their raffle wins public

    its only recently its appeared on the draw show.

    when i bought my first ticket with the euro million I had no idea what it was nor how to get the results.

    It also suffers with the same problem as a lucky dip - if you lose you ticket you only have 30 days to claim. thats ok if you know you numbers but not if they are randomly generated.
    Also you dont hear anything in the press / news until AFTER the 30 days.
