Officially, the history of the lottery dates back to the moment of the first draw, which took place on February 13, 2004. Back then, residents of the three founding countries participated in the lottery. A player from France hit the jackpot and won 15 million euros.
At present, the draws of the lottery take place weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays. In order to participate in the Euromillions draw, it is necessary to buy the original Euromillion lottery ticket only on the territory of one of the participating countries.

The following points should be paid attention to:
- the website should work for at least two years;
- the ticket price is slightly higher than when buying its paper version;
- the intermediary site is licensed;
- you can get a scan of your ticket immediately after the purchase.
EuroMillions rules
At first glance, the rules of the lottery look confusing. It is worth sorting out and joining the lotery, as everything becomes clear and logical.
According to EuroMillions rules, a person needs to select any five numbers in the proposed table. The ticket has an extra field called Lucky Stars, which plays a key role. In the additional field, only two numbers are selected from the proposed 12. If you guess numbers from the main field, you compete for prizes of the usual category. At the same time, the field “Happy Stars” opens a new level of the lottery in which the main prize – the jackpot – might be won.
It is also worth paying attention to the statistics of winning numbers, which is publicly available on the official website of the lottery. The chance of winning in EuroMillions is 1:13, which is considered a very high indicator. Of course, the figure varies depending on the number of winnings.
Experts’ pieces of advice on how to win the Euromillions draw
Lottery like no other game attracts the attention of mathematicians. There are many recommendations from them on how to win the lottery:
- Choose one number from the previous prize combination. Half of the winning combinations of the Euromillion lottery contain at least one number that was in the previous draw.
- Check the sum of the selected numbers. It is noteworthy that in 70% of the draws, the sum of the winning numbers is in the range from 95 to 160. Thus, it will be useful to sum the selected numbers in order to check the balance of the chosen combination.
- Skip a dozen. As a rule, winning combinations do not include all dozens. Studying the statistics of draws, you can see a dozen that is worth skipping.
