Important things to know
Common EuroMillions questions
EuroMillions jackpot odds (1 in 139.8 million) are about twice as good as Powerball (1 in 292.2 million). However, EuroMillions jackpots are typically smaller and paid in Euros. The overall chance of winning any prize is similar (about 1 in 13 for EuroMillions vs 1 in 25 for Powerball).
There are 13 prize tiers: Match 5+2 (jackpot), Match 5+1, Match 5, Match 4+2, Match 4+1, Match 3+2, Match 4, Match 2+2, Match 3+1, Match 3, Match 1+2, Match 2+1, and Match 2. The lowest tier (Match 2) typically pays around €4.
EuroMillions is played in 9 countries: UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Switzerland. Each country has its own operator but shares the same draw and jackpot.
It varies by country. UK, France, and some others do not tax lottery winnings. Spain taxes prizes over €40,000 at 20%. Portugal taxes 20% on prizes over €5,000. Switzerland and Austria also have various tax rules. Check your local regulations.
When the jackpot reaches €200 million, it is "capped" and cannot grow further. Additional funds roll down to lower prize tiers. After the cap is reached, the jackpot must be won within 5 draws, or it rolls down to the next tier.
