EuroMillions is Europe's most iconic multinational lottery, offering some of the biggest jackpots the continent has ever seen. With bi-weekly draws, exciting special events, and a reputation for life-changing prizes, it’s no surprise that EuroMillions remains one of the most played lotteries in the world.

The game was officially launched on February 7, 2004, with the first draw held just days later on Friday the 13th—February 13, 2004—in Paris, France. Initially, it was limited to just three countries: France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. However, by October 2004, the lottery had expanded to include Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland—bringing the total to nine participating countries.

EuroMillions draws are held every Tuesday and Friday evening at 8:45 p.m. Central European Time (CET) in Paris. Ticket prices vary slightly depending on the country. As of 2025, a single-line entry typically costs around €2.50 to €3.00, with the UK price set at £2.50.

Though officially only sold in the nine participating countries, EuroMillions has global appeal. Players from around the world can enter via authorized online lottery agents.

What truly sets EuroMillions apart—beyond its main draws—is its roster of promotional events and special games. These include occasional “Superdraws” with guaranteed nine-figure jackpots and the famous “European Millionaire Maker,” which generates dozens of new millionaires across participating countries. In the past, these promos have even included luxury vacations to Monaco and exclusive access to global sporting events.

Playing EuroMillions is straightforward and appeals to lottery fans across Europe and beyond. Depending on the country where tickets are purchased, prices may vary slightly—typically from €2.50 to €3.50 or 3 CHF. Each entry allows the selection of five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12.

To win the EuroMillions jackpot, a player must match all seven numbers drawn. The main numbers and Lucky Stars are selected from two separate machines, ensuring an entirely random outcome. Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 8:45 p.m. CET in Paris and are broadcast live in several participating countries.

Originally, EuroMillions offered only one weekly draw. The addition of the Tuesday draw in 2011 effectively doubled players' chances to win, significantly increasing the lottery’s popularity across Europe.

Even if a player doesn't hit the jackpot, there are 12 additional prize tiers. While lower-tier prizes are modest, the odds of winning something—approximately 1 in 13—make EuroMillions an attractive and affordable game of chance.

In addition to the regular draws, EuroMillions also runs occasional Superdraws, which offer a guaranteed jackpot starting at €130 million. These events are extremely popular and generate massive ticket sales across participating countries. Another exciting feature is the European Millionaire Maker—a raffle-style promotion introduced in 2016 that guarantees multiple €1 million winners across the continent.

It’s important to note that these rules apply only to the official EuroMillions game operated by national lottery organizations in nine European countries. If you choose to participate online, make sure you’re using a recognized agent or the official website. Unfortunately, due to its global popularity, EuroMillions has become a frequent target for scams. The official EuroMillions will never contact winners by email, phone, or letter. If you receive such messages, it's best to ignore them and verify through trusted sources.

EuroMillions offers 13 prize tiers, giving players a wide range of opportunities to win something—from the life-changing jackpot to smaller fixed prizes. To hit the jackpot, you’ll need to match five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. As of 2025, the odds of winning the jackpot remain incredibly steep—1 in 139,838,160.

Despite those astronomical odds, your overall chance of winning **any** prize is much more favorable—1 in 13. That’s thanks to the broad prize structure, which includes combinations like matching just two main numbers or one number plus both Lucky Stars.

The higher the number of matches (especially Lucky Stars), the better your prize. The jackpot can roll over multiple times, creating massive payouts that frequently reach hundreds of millions of euros.
