How to Play EuroMillions

1. Select 5 main numbers: Pick 5 numbers from 1 through 50. These are your main numbers. You can choose your own, or opt for Lucky Dip — your country's equivalent of Quick Pick — for a random selection.
2. Choose 2 Lucky Stars: Separately, choose 2 numbers from 1 through 12. These are the Lucky Stars and form the second part of your selection. You need both correct Lucky Stars alongside all 5 main numbers to win the jackpot.
3. Check participating country rules: EuroMillions is sold in the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria. Ticket prices and rules can vary slightly between countries — confirm with your local lottery operator.
4. Buy your ticket before the cut-off: Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday. Ticket sales typically close 60 to 90 minutes before the draw, which takes place in Paris, France. Check your local cut-off time to avoid missing a draw.
5. Compare your numbers to the results: Our EuroMillions results page is updated immediately after each draw. Match your 5 main numbers and 2 Lucky Stars separately — the 13 prize tiers depend on how many of each you matched correctly.
6. Claim your prize through your local lottery: EuroMillions prizes are paid out by your national lottery operator. Each country has its own claim procedures and deadlines, so refer to the lottery operator in the country where you purchased your ticket.
