EuroMillions: How to play

EuroMillions is a lottery that may be played in nine different countries around Europe, including the U.K. and Ireland. EuroMillions is the most popular and most giant lottery in Europe. There are two performances each week in Paris, one on a Tuesday and one on Friday.

Learn how to play EuroMillions on your phone or computer or at a lottery store in the U.K. by following the instructions below. Tickets are mere £2.50 each, and admittance takes no more than two minutes.

Select Your Numbers

• Choose five numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars between 1 and 12 to play EuroMillions.
• Whether you play online or in-store, you'll need to draw a thick horizontal line across your selected numbers on the play slip or type them into the appropriate spaces.
• It's possible to create random numbers for yourself by selecting the 'Lucky Dip' option.

Choose How Many Lines to Play

Because your playslip is split into numerous "boards" or "lines," you may submit multiple entries simultaneously.

As many as 7 line tickets are available while playing online. You may choose up to five lines per ticket at a lottery retailer, or you can request as many Lucky Dip entries as you'd like from the store.

Choose Your Draws

You may also choose whether or not you wish to play for two, three, or four weeks in advance at this point. If you choose 'both drawings' for four weeks, you may enter up to eight consecutive draws in advance.

Alternatively, you may take part in particular draws, which will be held on Tuesdays or on Fridays.

Pay For Your Entries

• To play numerous boards or pick more than one draw, the fee rises correspondingly by £2.50 for each line of numbers you submit.
• Each line of numbers you enter will get one UK Millionaire Maker raffle code when payment is received. There is no additional charge to take part in the UK Millionaire Maker.

Keep the Ticket Safe

To collect any prizes you could win by playing EuroMillions at a National Lottery shop, you'll need your ticket, so save it safely. The reverse of your submission has room for your name, address, and signature, so if it's lost or stolen, no one else can claim the big reward.

When you play online, your tickets are automatically kept in your account, and any rewards you win will be sent to your email address.

Check the Results

If you purchase your EuroMillions tickets in-store, you must verify the results yourself since you will not be contacted if you win.

Go to the results page to see the main EuroMillions game results and the winning Millionaire Maker codes after a draw has taken place.

All lottery tickets sold in the U.K. have a 180-day validity period after the date of a draw to play with. Find out how to collect your reward before it's too late if you've won it.
