Tuesday’s EuroMillions Superdraw drawing had more than 1,661,600 winning tickets overall and lower-tier cash prizes worth €13.55 million.
EuroMillions has been available to play since 2004 in European countries such as France, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Luxembourg and Ireland, as well as in Great Britain and Switzerland.
National lotteries run the Euromillions together so they can offer higher jackpots and reach more people.
In the EuroMillions lottery, five of the numbers 1 to 50 and two of the 12 star numbers are chosen. The draw is the same for all participating countries and takes place weekly, Tuesdays and Fridays between 8:45 PM and 9:30 PM in Paris.
EuroMillions tickets cost €6.25 each when you play EuroMillions outside The Europe. Find the best online lottery messenger service sites where you can buy your EuroMillions tickets here.
The EuroMillions player has approximately one chance in 140 million of pocketing the jackpot, while the risk of being bitten by a shark is… one in five million.
The French winner will have 60 days to come forward and claim their grand prize. They will also have to decide whether they will go public about their big win or remain anonymous.
Unlike other countries around the globe, all nine participating EuroMillions nations allow their winners to remain anonymous.
Since we just had a winning ticket hit the jackpot, the top prize now returns to its starting point of €17 million for the next EuroMillions drawing on Friday, January 19, 2024.
