Lottery fever is gripping Europe. People are lining up to buy tickets in a Euromillions draw with a jackpot worth 126 million euros, or over 176 million US dollars.
彩票热正在席卷欧洲。人们正在排队购买欧洲大乐透彩票，其累积奖金达1.26亿欧元，折合超过1.76亿美元。
The lottery has rolled over ten consecutive times, as no player managed to win the jackpot. The mammoth jackpot is the second-largest in Euromillions' history. Long queues formed at one cafe in Paris selling tickets. Similar scenes were seen in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, where people inundated one lottery shop. Although Portugal is suffering a sovereign debt crisis, the owner of the shop said the turmoil was fueling people's interest in the lottery.
由于没有玩家赢得累积奖金，彩票已经连续滚动10次。这次的巨额累积奖金在欧洲大乐透历史上排名第二。巴黎一间卖彩票的咖啡厅前排起了长队。同样的情景也出现在葡萄牙首都里斯本，在那里，人们涌入一间彩票投注站。尽管葡萄牙正遭受主权债务危机，但是店家表示，金融动荡激发了人们对彩票的兴趣。
