Draw Deadlines
As EuroMillions is a pan-European lottery, the time at which the draw takes place will differ due to the numerous time zones across the continent. Draws are held in Paris at 21:00 (CET), meaning that players in some of the participating countries face an earlier deadline by which to enter.
Here is a list of the different deadlines for buying EuroMillions tickets:
Country | Draw Deadline |
---|---|
Ireland, Portugal, UK | 19:30 (Tuesday & Friday) |
Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland | 20:30 (Tuesday & Friday) |
Please note, if you are playing through a lottery concierge service the cut off time for entry will usually be a couple of hours before the actual draw deadline.

EuroMillions Game Options Available Online
Buying your EuroMillions tickets online, you also gain access to some exciting game options that make the game even more fun and that actually increase your chances of scooping one of the big prizes. Here are the main options you have on theLotter:
Syndicates – An alternative to the standard ticket is purchasing a share in a EuroMillions syndicate. This means you participate in the game together with a group of players owning a large number of tickets, but paying for only a share of the cost. If one of your tickets is a winner, the prize will be split by the group according to the shares each member has purchased. Syndicates are the fastest way to boost your EuroMillions odds!
Bundles – Can’t decide between buying your very own EuroMillions ticket and getting a share in a syndicate? On theLotter, you don’t have to! You can play with both options for a better price! That’s right! Bundle packages get you an individual ticket and a share in a syndicate for a discounted price! You get a better price for experimenting with your game!
Systematic Forms – You can buy EuroMillions tickets with all the possible combinations of 6-10 numbers to increase your winnings. If you match the winning numbers for EuroMillions secondary prizes, you will have them on a lot of tickets, which means you win more prizes. It’s just like having your very own multiplier!

Betrugsarten bei EuroMillions
Betrugsfälle bei EuroMillions können den Traum davon, einen Jackpot zu gewinnen, in einen kostspieligen Alptraum verwandeln. Das sind einige der beliebtesten Methoden von Betrügern.
Die erste Kontaktaufnahme erfolgt meistens auf eine der folgenden Arten:
Brief
Es wird ein Brief mit der Post geschickt, in dem der Empfänger darüber informiert wird, dass er einen Lotteriepreis gewonnen hat und sich registrieren muss, damit der Gewinn ausgezahlt werden kann.
Telefon
Ein „Lotteriebeamter» ruft das mögliche Opfer an, um die „gute Nachricht» zu verkünden, und versucht eine Bearbeitungsgebühr und/oder die Bankverbindung aus dem Opfer herauszubekommen, solange dieses noch überrascht ist.
Soziale Netzwerke
Mitgliedern sozialer Netzwerke wie Facebook wird eine persönliche Nachricht geschickt, in der ihnen mitgeteilt wird, dass Sie bei einer Lotterie oder einer Verlosung auf einer bestimmten Webseite gewonnen haben.
Handy
Dem Empfänger wird per SMS mitgeteilt, dass seine Telefonnummer bei einer Verlosung oder Lotterie teilgenommen hat und zufällig als Gewinner ausgewählt wurde.
Wie auch immer ein Lottieriebetrüger Kontakt mit Ihnen aufnimmt, das Ziel ist immer das gleiche. Man will an Ihre persönlichen Daten, Bankverbindung und letztendlich Ihr Geld herankommen
So sollten Sie in einem Betrugsfall vorgehen
- KEIN Geld senden
- KEINEN Link in einer verdächtig wirkenden E-Mail öffnen
- NICHT auf einen verdächtigen Brief oder eine verdächtige E-Mail antworten
- KEINE persönlichen oder finanziellen Daten preisgeben, weder per E-Mail, Brief noch am Telefon
- WENN Sie schon geantwortet haben sollten, so brechen Sie den Kontakt zum Betrüger sofort ab
- IWENN Sie persönliche oder finanzielle Daten weitergegeben haben, so warnen Sie Ihre Bank unverzüglich
- BERICHTEN Sie davon bei Ihren örtlichen Behörden. Diese werden Ihnen Informationen zum weiteren Vorgehen zur Verfügung stellen und Sie beraten, wenn Sie den Verdacht hegen, Ziel eines Betrugsversuchs zu sein.
Auch wenn Strafverfolgungsbehörden auf der ganzen Welt hart daran arbeiten, Lotteriebetrüge aufzudecken und die Täter zu bestrafen, ist der beste Weg, um kein Opfer zu werden, selbst immer wachsam zu sein

You may also find these help sections useful:
Lost and damaged tickets
If you lose your ticket or damage one to the point where it cannot be read or scanned, you should contact your National Lottery for advice on what to do next. If you have a winning ticket that has been lost or damaged you need to report it as soon as possible after the winning draw, as your claim may be invalidated if you leave it too late.
You can find the contact details for the UK and Ireland national lotteries above.
Claiming prizes
There are different ways to claim EuroMillions prizes depending on how much you win, whether your entry was bought in-store or online, and which country the ticket was bought in. Generally, smaller prizes can be claimed for lottery retailers, while larger prizes need to be redeemed from a regional office or lottery headquarters.
Go to the How to Claim page to find out all you need to know about claiming EuroMillions prizes in each participating country.
Tickets purchased in other EuroMillions countries
EuroMillions prizes can only be claimed in the same country that the winning ticket was purchased in. For example, if you buy a ticket in Spain, you will not be able to claim any prizes won on it in the UK, and vice versa.
If you do win a prize on a EuroMillions ticket bought in another country, you’ll need to contact the country’s lottery provider to find out if you can make any alternative arrangements to claim the prize — please note that this would be at the discretion of the selling lottery. Visit the dedicated page for playing EuroMillions abroad to find contact details for the lottery providers in each of the participating countries.
Identifying a lottery scam
Lottery scams are all too common today but there are two golden rules that you should remember in order to protect yourself against them:
- You cannot win a prize in a lottery you have not entered. If you are ever notified that you have won a prize in a lottery you have not played, it is a scam.
- No legitimate lottery organisation would demand an upfront fee to pay out your prize money. Again, any message requesting a payment to ‘release’ a lottery prize is a scam.
Go to the Scams page to learn lots more about this type of fraud, including other ways to spot lottery scams.
January 2012 – Change to Jackpot Cap
On 12th January 2012, the EuroMillions jackpot cap was frozen at €190 million. Previous rules set in 2009 stated that each time the jackpot cap was reached, it would be increased by €5 million. The last cap increase had taken place in July 2011, when Scottish couple Colin and Chris Weir won a capped €185 million (£161.6 million) jackpot – the largest lottery prize ever won in the UK at the time.
A second rule was changed alongside the jackpot cap; the top prize could remain at its maximum size for two draws, instead of one draw, before being rolled down to the next prize tier.
Changes Summary
- Jackpot cap increase rule scrapped; jackpot cap frozen at €190 million
- Jackpot roll-down deadline increased from one draw after reaching cap to two draws after reaching cap

September 2016 – EuroMillions Overhaul
September 2016 saw sweeping changes made to the EuroMillions format, including the introduction of new supplementary games in six countries and a €2 million increase to the minimum jackpot. The price of entry was increased as follows:
Austria | €2.00 | €2.20 |
Belgium | €2.00 | €2.50 |

With the new games came the introduction of a Europe-wide raffle event, the European Millionaire Maker. The first European Millionaire Maker raffle took place on Friday 28th October 2016, with 25 winning codes selected.
Another big change was the introduction to the game of a 12th Lucky Star; the odds of winning in each prize tier changed as a result:

Match 3 + 2 Stars | 1 in 11,771 | 1 in 14,126 |
Match 4 | 1 in 14,387 | 1 in 13,812 |
Match 2 + 2 Stars | 1 in 882 | 1 in 986 |
Match 3 + 1 Star | 1 in 654 | 1 in 707 |
Match 3 | 1 in 327 | 1 in 314 |
Match 1 + 2 Stars | 1 in 157 | 1 in 188 |
Match 2 + 1 Stars | 1 in 46 | 1 in 50 |
Match 2 | 1 in 23 | 1 in 22 |
The overall odds of winning a prize remained at 1 in 13. |
The UK’s popular ‘Mega Friday’ promotional draw — which saw multiple £1 million raffle prizes and luxury non-cash prizes awarded on the last Friday of each month – also saw a major change. The event was expanded to offer prizes in two consecutive draws and was renamed ‘Mega Week’.
All changes came into effect as of Saturday 24th September 2016, with the very first Mega Week beginning on Tuesday 27th September. Ten raffle prizes of £1 million plus a 100-day round-the-world trip were given out, and a special €130 million Superdraw took place on Friday 30th September. Mega Week ran for nine months, with the last Mega Week draws taking place on Tuesday 25th and Friday 28th June 2017.

How Prizes Are Funded
EuroMillions prizes are funded using revenue from ticket sales. A percentage of the money you spend on entering the game is allocated to the prize fund, with the remainder distributed to good causes, Government Lottery Duty and retailer commission, as well as covering operating costs.
When you play EuroMillions in the UK, the £2.50 you spend per line is broken down into £1.74 for entering the main draw and £0.76 for the UK Millionaire Maker raffle. Fifty percent of the £1.74 spent on the main game is allocated to the prize fund. Thirty percent of the £0.76 spent to enter the Millionaire Maker is used to pay prizes in the supplementary raffle.
