Europe's biggest multinational lottery. Learn the odds, rules, prizes, and how this lottery compares to US Powerball.
EuroMillions is Europe's biggest multinational lottery, played across 9 countries with jackpots starting at €17 million and capped at €250 million. It's the lottery Americans search for most after Powerball and Mega Millions — and for good reason. The odds of winning (1 in 139 million) are actually better than both US lotteries, and the tax-free prizes in Europe mean the advertised amount is closer to what winners actually receive. Americans can play through licensed courier services like theLotter, which purchases official tickets on your behalf from authorized European retailers.
Pick 5 main numbers from 1 to 50, plus 2 Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. Match all 7 numbers to win the jackpot. There are 13 prize tiers in total, so even matching just 2 main numbers wins a prize. The Megaplier equivalent is called the 'Millionaire Maker' — a raffle that creates at least one guaranteed millionaire per draw.
US residents cannot currently purchase EuroMillions tickets online from US-based courier services. Federal regulations restrict Americans from buying foreign lottery tickets through internet courier services. To play EuroMillions, you would need to purchase tickets in person while traveling to Europe.
