About
EuroMillions is drawn in Paris for players from nine countries. Austria has taken part since 8 October 2004; since May 2011 there are draws on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Five numbers from 50 and two stars are drawn. Guessing all of them is a chance of 1 in 139,838,160.
How it works
- A tip is 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 stars, since September 2016 from 1 to 12 (before: 1 to 9, from May 2011 1 to 11).
- There are 13 prize tiers, from 5 numbers + 2 stars down to 2 numbers alone. Prizes are shared across all countries, so the winner counts here are Europe-wide.
- When nobody hits the top tier, the jackpot rolls over until it reaches its cap; then it goes to the tier below.
