EuroMillions – Europe's Favorite Lottery
EuroMillions is one of the largest lotteries in the world, offering gigantic prizes and attracting millions of players across Europe. Launched in 2004, this multinational lottery is played in 10 participating countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
How Does EuroMillions Work?
Draws take place twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, in Paris. To participate, simply:
- Choose your numbers: Select 5 main numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 extra numbers (called "Stars") from 1 to 12.
- Submit your entry: You can bet in physical stores or online using authorized platforms.
Prizes
EuroMillions offers 13 prize tiers, ensuring that even those who match fewer numbers can win. The main prize, known as the "jackpot," is won by matching all 5 main numbers and the 2 Stars.
Secondary Prizes
If you don’t hit the jackpot, there are still great chances to win prizes in lower categories. For example:
- 5 numbers + 1 Star.
- 4 numbers + 2 Stars, and so on.
Prizes vary depending on the number of winners and the amount collected from entries.
Super Draws and Special Events
In addition to regular draws, EuroMillions periodically holds Super Draws, where the initial jackpot is increased to extraordinary amounts – often over €100 million.
Lucky Star (or Millionaire Maker)
Some participating countries, like Portugal and the United Kingdom, offer additional draws. For instance, in the UK, the "Millionaire Maker" ensures at least one player wins £1 million in every draw.
