Tax
Only 3 of the EuroMillions participating countries charge taxes on winnings - Spain, Switzerland and Portugal - for details of their tax rates, visit the Lotto Tax page.
European Millionaire Maker
European Millionaire Maker is similar to UK Millionaire Maker or My Million, the raffle is designed to guarantee a certain number of prize winners in one night. Players across all 9 participating countries will receive a randomly-generated code for every EuroMillions ticket they buy, with the first letter of the code representing the country where the entry was purchased.
The last European Millionaire Maker draw took place on Friday 23rd February 2018, when 25 millionaires were made across the continent.
EuroMillions Superdraws
Superdraws are held occasionally throughout the year and offer huge jackpots, regardless of the value of the top prize in the previous draw. The jackpot rolls over if no one wins on the night and will continue to do so until at least one ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars or it reaches the jackpot cap of €200 million.
Jackpot Cap
EuroMillions jackpots can only rise up to €210 million. After this point, the jackpot cannot roll over any further and additional funds typically used to increase the next draw's jackpot are instead rolled down to the lower prize tiers. This can help to boost the prize pool for 'Match 5 + 1' winners.
The jackpot can remain at the cap value for up to five draws. If no-one matches all five main numbers and the two Lucky Stars in the fifth draw, then the jackpot will be split equally among all winners in the next highest prize tier.
The first time that the jackpot stayed at its cap for five draws was in 2019, when the maximum was €190 million. A draw took place on Tuesday 8th October when it had to be won. The money did not have to roll down, though, as one UK ticket matched all the numbers to win €190 million (£170 million). The winner remained anonymous.
Euromillions Unclaimed Prizes
Once the jackpot cap has been reached and the top prize has been given away, the cap will increase to €220 million. Each time the maximum jackpot has been won, the cap will go up by €10 million, up to a possible €250 million.
