    I hate those emails - builds your hopes and then destroys it with a win not worth winning.
    Had 2 Numbers and both star balls a few weeks ago = £13.50. Think its time to not bother anymore.

    Could be worse, this would still be worth winning, but I think people would have higher expectations of what they would actually receive if they matched just one number less than the jackpot

    5 numbers and 2 stars = £113,019,926.00
    4 numbers and 2 stars = £4,569.70


    (5 + 1 star was £520k)

    I always think about how gutted I would be if I managed 5 numbers and the bonus as I'd have the 6 numbers just one of them was drawn one number too late and I just don't think i'd be lucky enough for those 6 numbers to come up ever again (even though i know that there is exactly the same chance of the same 6 numbers coming up every week etc.. it just doesn't fee like it :p) Not that I would be complaining if I actually won more than £10 for once and you win a lot more on normal lottery for 5 and the bonus compared to what you won on euromillions with 4 and 2 stars!

    Actually just had a look and 5 and the bonus would still give you a very nice amount :D
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96
