It's not the "UK Euromillions" - it's a europe wide lottery
The full odds are available on this page: http://www.euro-millions.com/odds-of-winning
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 116,531,800 which is why I don't play it (or any other lottery for that matter: The odds are horrendous)

You are more likely to get struck by lightening, twice, in the same exact location in your life than you are likely to win the lottery. (source- somewhere, i forget, but I remember the information)

Since electricity (Lightning) travels in the path of least resistance, the likelihood of lightning striking twice in the same place is pretty high. The Empire State Building gets struck by lightning an average of 25 times a year.😱 The chance of surviving a lightning strike, well, I'd rather not try my luck.😛
No it's you're more likely to get a bent iPhone. Twice. After all Apple said only 9 out of millions have had that happen.
You're more likely to get struck by lightning twice, in the same day, while carrying a bent iPhone in your pocket.

I play the lottery. Usually a dollar or two when I am up near Idaho. It's an 1.5 hours from my house, so I don't get to play often.
I think of it like this when I play.
What are the odds of me having $100 million tomorrow currently. Probably zero.
Odds after playing $1? Better than zero.
And it's only a buck. Something I would normally waste on a french fries.

Leaving aside the - unusually open ended question asked by the OP - there is also the fact that the OP is a new member, with one, single, solitary, post to his (I assume his, though it could also be a 'her') username.
Let us see if the OP returns to this (or any other) thread ...
In other words, my olfactory passages are prompting me that something may smell a little off .

No, as it happens, I prefer - by far - the wonderful aroma of freshly made coffee.
Fresh (or stale) spam just doesn't do it for me - in any sort of context.
