You have to open an account and the winnings are paid into that, if its big they open a bank account for you.
You have a choice of tickets at 20 euros a share.
There is an SLL pukka site confirmation on the page and it has been running for years.
If you dont have a go it will be " oh what if " for the rest of your life

The going rate for a ticket share around our area is €22 - €23. with the odd 2 or 3 euros going to the original buyers. (church association, local football team, youth club, old folks home etc). €40 a share is taking the P.

I agree that the tickets do not have a price on in the pictures, but that could well be a security thing.

If you look at my thumbnails, I actually went through the process of buying a ticket.
First pic is the security check.
Second is the ticket numbers, and 20 € cost.
Third is cost with a 3 € charge + 20 € ticket = 23€.
I know I had a good night last night, but my eyesight is not that blurred, or is it ?

Another update, please see thumbnail...Sorry its in text form not sure how to send the whole page, ..but if you scroll down you should see the price of the tickets below the ticket number. (select open )
