Explained in plain English

Who runs EuroMillions?

EuroMillions is a transnational lottery, meaning it's played across multiple European countries, including the UK. It's operated by a consortium of national lottery organisations, each responsible for ticket sales and prize payouts in their own country. This collaboration allows for much larger jackpots than a single national lottery could offer, like the one mentioned in the story.
