The Authority Guide to EuroMillions
EuroMillions is Europe's premier transnational lottery, renowned for its massive tax-free jackpots that frequently eclipse €100 million. Since its inception in 2004, it has created thousands of millionaires across the continent. This guide serves as the definitive resource for understanding the mechanics, probabilities, and strategies behind the draw.
How To Play EuroMillions
Participating in EuroMillions is a straightforward process, designed to be accessible whether you are a seasoned lottery enthusiast or a first-time player. To enter a single line in the draw, you must select a total of seven numbers from two separate pools.
1 Main Numbers
Select 5 numbers from a pool ranging from 1 to 50.
2 Lucky Stars
Select 2 numbers from a pool ranging from 1 to 12.
Manual vs. Lucky Dip: You can choose your own "lucky numbers"—often birthdays or anniversaries—or opt for a "Lucky Dip" (also known as a Quick Pick), where the lottery terminal's random number generator selects the line for you. Statistically, neither method offers a higher probability of winning, though choosing numbers above 31 helps avoid sharing the jackpot with others who play calendar dates.
To win the jackpot, your ticket must match all seven drawn numbers perfectly. However, the game structure includes 13 prize tiers, meaning you can win cash prizes for matching as few as two main numbers.
| Match Requirement | Odds (approx) | Est. Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Numbers + 2 Stars | 1 in 139,838,160 | Jackpot (Min €17M) |
| 5 Numbers + 1 Star | 1 in 6,991,908 | €130,554 |
| 5 Numbers | 1 in 3,107,515 | €13,561 |
| 4 Numbers + 2 Stars | 1 in 621,503 | €844 |
| 2 Numbers | 1 in 22 | €4.00 |
What Time Is the EuroMillions Draw?
The EuroMillions draw is a bi-weekly event, taking place every Tuesday and Friday evening. The draw is physically conducted in Paris, France.
- Draw Time: The numbers are drawn at approximately 21:00 CET (Central European Time), which corresponds to 20:00 GMT/BST in the UK and Ireland.
- Ticket Cutoff: Ticket sales do not run up until the exact moment of the draw. Sales generally close around 20:30 CET (19:30 GMT). Any tickets purchased after this window are entered into the next scheduled draw.
- Results Publication: Once the draw is complete and independent auditors verify the results, the winning numbers are published online, typically by 21:15 CET.
Can You Play EuroMillions Online Legally?
Yes, playing EuroMillions online is fully legal, secure, and increasingly the preferred method for millions of players. It eliminates the risk of losing a physical paper ticket—a common issue that leads to millions of euros in unclaimed prizes annually. There are two primary ways to play legally online:
1. Official National Lottery Websites
If you are a resident of one of the nine participating countries (UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland), you can register and play directly through the official website or mobile app of your country's lottery operator (e.g., The National Lottery in the UK, FDJ in France).
2. Licensed Concierge Services
If you live outside the participating countries, you can utilize reputable lottery concierge services like The Lotter. These services act as a courier: you pay them online, and their local agents physically purchase a ticket on your behalf in a participating country. They then scan the ticket to your account. This allows global participation in compliance with local laws.
What Happens If No One Wins the Jackpot?
If no player matches all 5 Main Numbers and 2 Lucky Stars in a given draw, the jackpot is not forfeited. Instead, it rolls over to the next draw, increasing in value due to the accumulation of ticket sales. This rollover mechanism is the engine behind the massive jackpots EuroMillions is famous for.
However, to ensure social responsibility, the jackpot cannot grow indefinitely. There is a specific Jackpot Cap mechanism in place:
- The Cap: The jackpot is currently capped at €250 Million.
- The Lockdown: Once the jackpot reaches this cap, it can remain at €250M for a maximum of four consecutive draws. During this time, any excess money that would have gone to the jackpot flows down to the next prize tier, creating larger prizes for players who match 5 Numbers + 1 Star.
- Must Be Won Draw: If there is still no jackpot winner in the fifth draw at the cap, the entire €250M jackpot "rolls down." It is shared among the winners in the next highest prize tier. This results in multiple multimillionaires being created in a single night, even without a perfect match.
Related Frequently Asked Questions
Are EuroMillions winnings taxable?
It depends on the country where the ticket was purchased. In the UK, France, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, and Luxembourg, lottery winnings are tax-free paid as a lump sum. However, Spain (20% on amounts over €40k), Portugal (20% stamp duty), and Switzerland (35% withholding tax) do apply taxes to larger wins.
Is there a deadline to claim my prize?
Yes, and it varies strictly by country. For example, UK players have 180 days, Irish players have 90 days, and French players have only 60 days. Always check your ticket immediately.
Can I remain anonymous if I win?
In most participating countries, including the UK and France, you have the right to remain completely anonymous. However, some countries require limited publicity for transparency.
What is the "Millionaire Maker"?
The UK Millionaire Maker is a supplementary raffle included with every EuroMillions line purchased in the UK. It guarantees at least one UK player will win £1,000,000 in every draw, regardless of the main numbers drawn.
