EuroMillions Lottery - Big Jackpots & Exciting Gameplay

How to Play EuroMillions

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

EuroMillions is played across 9 European countries: the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Austria. All participating countries contribute to the same jackpot prize pool, creating the large prizes EuroMillions is known for.

The EuroMillions jackpot odds are 1 in 139,838,160. While this is challenging, the broad European player base means jackpots grow quickly and reach high values faster than many single-country lotteries.

EuroMillions has 13 distinct prize tiers, ranging from matching just 2 main numbers (no Lucky Stars) at the bottom all the way to the jackpot for matching all 5 main numbers plus both Lucky Stars. Multiple tiers involve partial main number matches combined with Lucky Star matches.

The EuroMillions jackpot has a cap of €250 million. Once the jackpot reaches this amount and is not won in 5 subsequent draws, it must be won at the next draw — it rolls down to the next prize tier that has at least one winner. This ensures the prize is eventually paid out.

A SuperDraw is a special EuroMillions event where the starting jackpot is boosted to a guaranteed amount (historically between €100 million and €200 million), regardless of rollover history. SuperDraws are announced in advance and typically draw a surge in ticket sales.

This depends entirely on your country. EuroMillions prizes are tax-free at the point of winning in most participating countries, including the UK, Ireland, Portugal, France, and Spain. However, Switzerland taxes lottery winnings. Always check the specific tax laws in your country of purchase.

EuroMillions is officially only sold in the 9 participating countries. Some third-party online concierge services allow players abroad to purchase tickets on their behalf, but this comes with additional costs and service fees. We do not endorse or sell tickets — this site is for results and information only.
