EUROMILLIONS RULES & NUMBERS
Now, let’s get to it – how do you actually bet on EuroMillions? Well, if you have ever placed a bet on PowerBall then the process may be familiar to you. First up, you have a pool of numbers to choose from. You need to choose five numbers from the selection of 1-50. Then you need your two lucky stars. You will choose these from a pool of 1 to 12.
When you are betting with Lottoland, you can choose these numbers manually yourself, or you can select the QuickPick option to have a random selection of numbers chosen for you. Whichever option you choose, the aim of the game is to match those 5 numbers and the 2 Lucky Stars to hit the top payout.
HOW TO WIN EUROMILLIONS
The million dollar question - literally! As with all lotteries, winning on EuroMillions is simply down to how many of your selected numbers match those picked from the drum. The more numbers you match, the higher the payout tier and potential return.
As stated before, one of EuroMillions’ big attractions is its wide ranging payout structure. Indeed, this monster-lotto features no less than 13 payout tiers! These tiers range from matching just two main numbers to hitting all the numbers drawn and taking home the top payout.
To win the EuroMillions jackpot, you must match all 5 main numbers and both Lucky Stars. The odds of hitting the top payout are approximately 1 in 139.8 million, but the rewards on offer match those lofty odds! EuroMillions regularly has payouts that run into the billions – especially when a SuperDraw is annoucnced.
