EuroMillions is a pan-European lottery, launched by Camelot on Saturday February 7, 2004. The first draw took place on Friday February 13, 2004 in Paris. The UK, France and Spain were involved initially, but lotteries from Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland subsequently joined the draw on 8 October 2004.
Draws are held every Friday evening, and take place in Paris. Tickets cost €2 per play in most countries above. In the UK, it is the equivalent in Pound Sterling, rounded to the nearest 10p (although it has been fixed at £1.50 since the draw began). In Switzerland it is the equivalent in Swiss franc, rounded to nearest 10c (although it has been fixed at 3.20 CHF since the draw began). Prizes, aside from the jackpot, are sized according to participation per country
How to play
Select 5 main numbers which can be any integer from 1 to 50
Select 2 lucky star numbers which can be any integer from 1 to 9
During the draw, 5 main and 2 lucky star numbers are then drawn at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls. The machines containing 50 balls is called Stresa, and the one containing nine is the Paquerette

Several European countries have their own lotteries - e.g. the National Lottery in the UK. Euromillions is a joint lottery run by several of these companies.
Euromillions is the name of the lottery game and not the companies that operate it.
Euromillions is a genuine lottery game but entry is only by buying a ticket from a licenced outlet. If you've received an e-mail saying you've won or been selected at random then it's a scam.

It's a scam. If I were you I would report them to the attorney generals office in your state (I have already done so!).
