Who Owns Euromillions Lottery

The EuroMillions lottery is owned and operated by a consortium of state-licensed lottery operators from participating countries. The operational structure does not involve a single owner; instead, each national lottery operator runs EuroMillions within its own jurisdiction, coordinated through a joint company called Services aux Loteries en Europe (SLE) which provides services to its shareholder lottery operators^[4].

These shareholder operators include:

• La Française des Jeux (France)
• Loterías y Apuestas del Estado (Spain)
• Camelot UK Lotteries Limited (UK) — now part of Allwyn, which acquired Camelot in 2023^[3]
• Premier Lotteries Ireland DAC (Ireland)
• Belgian National Lottery
• Austrian Lotteries
• Betgames (Luxembourg)
• Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (Portugal)
• Swisslos and Loterie Romande (Switzerland)

Each participating country’s official operator manages ticket sales, prize payments, and local regulation, while draws and jackpot pools are coordinated collaboratively among all members^[6]. SLE, based in Belgium, facilitates services, but does not itself hold EuroMillions’ ownership rights—the rights remain with the individual national operators^[4].
