How to play EuroMillions

Ranging from 1 – 50, you’ll need to pick five numbers as well as two Lucky Star numbers that range from 1 – 12 to win the jackpot.

If the jackpot isn’t won, EuroMillions has an interesting  ollover system. When this reaches €130 million the EuroMillions Super Draw comes into play. If the Super Draw isn’t won, the prize money rolls over until it reaches €190 million. If there is still no winner after five consecutive draws then an Event Draw takes place. The prize money is then  received by winners of the next prize tier. The Event Draw has yet to happen, but the mere possibility of this occurring certainly ramps up the popularity of the EuroMillions.
