Betting on EuroMillions

EuroMillions is a trans-European lotto originally founded by Britain, France and Spain. In 2004 Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Portugal joined, raising the prize pool dramatically. To bet, you select five regular numbers from 1-50 plus two star numbers from 1-12.
The odds of winning any prize are 1 in 13. Your chance of winning the jackpot by matching all 5 main numbers and 2 Lucky Stars is about 1 in 139,838,160.
This depends on your country. The majority of EuroMillions countries do not tax lottery wins. However, Switzerland (35%), Spain (20% > €40k), and Portugal (20%) do apply taxes.
A EuroMillions line typically costs €3.00. Betting online with providers like Lottoland costs the same and offers access to special promotions.
Ticket sales close at 20:30 CET on both Tuesday and Friday. Sales reopen at 22:00 CET for the next draw.

Winning & Prizes

If you bet online with a licensed provider, you are automatically notified via email of any winnings. For offline tickets, you must check your numbers manually using our Ticket Checker or at a retailer.
Yes. If you are concerned about privacy, you can almost always choose to remain anonymous. Betting online offers the best privacy protection as no physical ticket processing is required publicly.
For offline tickets, you typically have 180 days (varies by country). If you bet online, winnings are automatically credited to your account, so you never miss a deadline.
If you lose a physical ticket, whoever finds it (the bearer) may be able to claim the prize. This is a major risk of offline entry. Betting online eliminates this risk entirely as digital tickets cannot be lost or stolen.

Draws & History

If no one wins the jackpot, the funds roll over to the next draw. This continues until it reaches the cap of €250 Million. Once at the cap, excess funds roll down to the next prize tier.
A EuroMillions Superdraw is a special event where the jackpot is set to a guaranteed minimum (usually €130 Million) regardless of the previous cycle. It happens a few times a year.
The results are usually revealed within an hour of the draw (approx. 21:00 - 22:00 CET). However, for major jackpots or Superdraws, final confirmation may take slightly longer.
The biggest jackpot is capped at €250 Million. This record cap ensures that the potential winnings remain astronomical while managing rollover mechanics.
