How To Play EuroMillions?
It's the big popular jackpot game played across multiple European countries. Here's how to play EuroMillions:-
1. On your playslip simply pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50.
2. Then pick 2 Lucky Stars from 1 to 9.
UPDATE: There are now 12 Lucky Stars to choose from, since the changes made to EuroMillions in both April 2011 and September 2016.
3. Finally decide how many weeks to play. You can buy a ticket that covers 1, 2, 3 or 4 draws by marking the appropriate 'how many weeks you want to play' box.
If you don't wish to pick your own numbers just mark the Lucky Dip box instead and the computer will randomly pick numbers for you.
The EuroMillions Draw
The actual draw is made every Tuesday and Friday night in Paris. The 5 main numbers are drawn from one machine, then 2 Lucky Stars are drawn from another machine.
To win at least something you have to match a minimum of 2 main numbers, or 1 main number and both Lucky Stars.
For the jackpot you have to match all 5 of your main numbers, and both of the Lucky Star numbers too.
