But done right….brands can command a premium price

Page 15: Increasing the price of EuroMillions in the UK by 33.3%

Against a backdrop of the need for growth, UK players felt nobody ever won in the UK

“You’re not just up against the UK but the whole of Europe”

“Nobody ever wins in the UK”

“EuroMillions is that game that is run somewhere in Europe,

and all the money goes to good causes there ”

Page 16: Increasing the price of EuroMillions in the UK by 33.3%

Our objectives were two-fold

Drive further brand growth and therefore deliver greater returns

for Good Causes

Overcome UK resistance to EuroMillions and reward players with

more of a UK winning experience

Page 17: Increasing the price of EuroMillions in the UK by 33.3%

• Introduce the UK Millionaire Raffle…..£1m prize guaranteed each and every week in the UK on top of the chance to win big jackpots
