EuroMillions is a global lottery that calls for 7 right numbers to win the prize. It was launched on 7 February 2004 by France s Française des Jeux, Spain s Loterías y Apuestas del Estado and the UK s Camelot. The very first draw was hung on 13 February 2004 in Paris. Originally, only the UK, France and Spain got involved, with the Austrian, Belgian, Irish, Luxembourgish, Portuguese and Swiss lottery games joining for the 8 October 2004 draw. Draws are held every Tuesday as well as Friday evening at 20:45 CET in Paris. A conventional EuroMillions ticket expenses EUR2.50, ₤ 2.50 or CHF3.50 per line played, yet this depends upon the local money. Ireland has an unique option called And also, which includes EUR1.00 per line. Since February 2014, a non-optional enhancement called My Million in France includes EUR0.50 per line, while in Portugal it is called M1lhão as well as represents EUR0.30 of the entire EUR2.50 bet. The price of playing in the UK enhanced from ₤ 1.50 to ₤ 2.00 per line on 7 November 2009, as a result of the EUR/GBP exchange price and automatic access into its Millionaire Raffle. On 24 September 2016, the price per line raised from ₤ 2.00 to ₤ 2.50 in the UK. On the same day, in Ireland and Spain it increased to EUR2.50 per line.

The descent into the 2nd Bundesliga has torn a big hole in the clubside of the FC Schalke 04. The club seems for the current season therefore evidently drastic austerity measures to hold more financially over water.

As the Sport picture reports, the scarce due to the transfer deficit in the summer about 20 million euros should be missing. With the sales of Weston McKennie (20.5 million euros) and SUAT SERDAR (8 million euros) came some money in the cash register, yet players like Ozan Kabak or Amine Harit could only be awarded. Important revenue by transfer revenues therefore remained.

Thus, S04 should now have made profound decisions to push the expenses. For example, the purchase of a state-of-the-art video system for improved training surveillance amounting to 400,000 euros (instead leasing), the professionals are no longer weighed by a star chef - instead, the chef of the stadium caterer will now provide meals.

Team flights to offices were completely painted. If Schalke is a guest, the bus is traveling. Luxury hotels are no longer approached, instead, the S04 hosts the S04 away in mid-range hotels.
