We currently have purchased a website to play lotteries online. We are
adding to the site the EuroMillions lottery. We are trying to find the
best market to penetrate by asking the following questions (below
Europeans should be inclusive of the UK participants):

1) How many people play the Euromillions lottery per week?
2) How much do these people spend on Euromillions on average per week?
How many rows do they play?
3) Which are the European countries with the most participation in the
Euromillion lottery?
4) What is the average age of Euromillion lottery participants?
5) How many Europeans play lottery online? Can this be separated into
country by country?
6) What is the connectivity rates based on age for those European
internet users over 18?
7) Which European countries have access to Euromillion via a lottery
?store?, and which countries do not?
