EuroMillions Information

Since there are so many participating countries, each with their own specific laws, the minimum age to participate can vary. In most cases the minimum age is 18, though in some countries it's 21 or, in the case of the UK and Isle of Man, the minimum age is 16. To bet online with Lottoland you will need to be over the age of 18.

Always ensure, while playing with a traditional, store-bought ticket that all your entries are clearly marked and legible. Illegible entered lines or tickets may not be accepted to win a prize.

EuroMillions draws are held every Tuesday and Friday night in Paris at 20:45CET. You must place your EuroMillions bets by 20:30 on the day of the draw.

You don't need to be a resident of a specific country to claim, however EuroMillions prizes can only be claimed in the country where the winning ticket was issued. So if, for example, you go on holiday to Spain during the summer and win on EuroMillions, you will need to claim your prize there, rather than your home country. However, if you bet online with Lottoland, country restrictions don't matter. Giving you more freedom to bet, wherever you are.

Although, technically, the purchaser is considered to be the legal owner of the ticket, there is no guarantee that you will receive your payment if your ticket is misplaced. Once again this is down to discretion of your country's national lottery provider so, to be certain, always write your name and address on the back of your ticket and guard your lottery tickets carefully. Of course you can also enjoy EuroMillions online with licensed and reputable operators such as Lottoland where losing your ticket is never an issue and wins are credited automatically.

Technically only one player per ticket can win a EuroMillions prize. Lottery syndicates therefore work through a separate legal agreement setting out in advance how the prize is to be divided among syndicate members with one member making the official claim.

You have 180 days to claim EuroMillions prizes for tickets bought offline. This deadline is not an issue if you bet online, however, as your results will be automatically checked and emailed to you and any prize money will be paid into your account.

Forging or otherwise altering a lottery ticket is a criminal offence.
