Luxembourg may be one of Europe’s smallest countries, but its EuroMillions prizes have been anything but small. Over the years, several major jackpots have landed here. One of the most remarkable wins came in September 2013, when a lucky player scooped €65.7 million. Another highlight was 28 October 2016, when no fewer than three out of the 25 jackpot winners across Europe were based in Luxembourg. Considering the country’s small population, this shows just how much enthusiasm there is for EuroMillions.
