How To Play
To play EuroMillions, participants must select five main numbers from a pool of 1 to 50 and two additional Lucky Star numbers from a range of 1 to 12. Participants can manually select their numbers or let fate decide with a Lucky Dip, which generates a random set. Each ticket costs a set amount, and draws take place every Tuesday and Friday. To win the jackpot, all five main numbers and both Lucky Stars must match the drawn numbers. Thanks to 13 prize tiers, winnings aren’t just for jackpot winners—matching some numbers can still pay off! Tickets can be purchased from here.
The UK’s Lottery Success Continues
Though Austria claimed the top prize, UK players have also seen their fair share of EuroMillions success this year. In January, a lucky Brit scooped up an £83 million prize, followed by another jackpot winner in February who took home £65 million. The UK has had multiple historic winners over the years, solidifying its reputation as a prime EuroMillions hotspot.
The Double-Edged Sword of Lottery Wins
Winning such an enormous sum is life-changing, but history has shown that not all lottery winners live happily ever after. Some have faced bankruptcy, substance abuse issues, and even threats to their safety. Despite these cautionary tales, the dream of striking it rich keeps millions of people playing the lottery worldwide. Have you checked your ticket?
