EuroMillions jackpots start at €17 million and roll over when there is no winner, growing with each draw. The jackpot is capped at €250 million. Once the cap is reached, prize money cascades to lower tiers (roll-down). If unclaimed after 5 draws at the cap, a SuperDraw event is triggered.
TaxTax treatment varies by country. France, Belgium and Switzerland apply withholding taxes; Ireland and the UK pay prizes tax-free at source. Always verify local rules when claiming large prizes.
Claim periodPrize claim deadlines vary by country — typically 60 to 180 days after the draw. Check local operator rules promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Lucky Stars work in EuroMillions?▾
Lucky Stars are 2 numbers drawn from a completely separate pool of 12 balls (numbered 1–12), independently from the 5 main numbers. You pick 2 Lucky Stars on your ticket. Matching more Lucky Stars increases your prize tier — but you do not need to match any Lucky Stars to win prizes in Tiers 3, 6, 10 and 13.
What happens when the jackpot reaches €250 million?▾
Once the jackpot cap of €250 million is hit, the jackpot is frozen. Any additional prize money is instead distributed to lower tiers — a process called "roll-down." After 5 consecutive draws at the cap without a jackpot winner, a special draw is held where the jackpot must be won.
Which countries participate in EuroMillions?▾
EuroMillions is played in Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (including Gibraltar). Players must be physically located in one of these countries to participate.
