WIN EURO MILLIONS LOTTERY

Euro Millions Lottery - How it works

Players select five main numbers which can be any integer from 1 to 50 along with two different lucky star numbers from a pool of 9 numbers.

During the draw, five main and two lucky star numbers are drawn at random from two draw machines containing numbered balls. The machines containing fifty balls is called Stresa, and the one containing nine is the Paquerette.

Any person 18 or over may take part. The age may differ in some countries, such as 16 in the UK. The game is currently available to players in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, along with syndicated entrants playing via portals such as this one.

The participating national lotteries in the Euro Millions game have each established a EuroMillions Trust account. This is used for the settlement of all amounts due and for holding amounts in respect of future prizes. This trust arrangement protects the participating lotteries between them from a default from one of the national companies and ultimately the players interests.
