Every player only has to pay € 2.50 for a combination.

Jackpot money

EuroMillions uses a basis Jackpot. For every draw it contains € 17 million, and every time there is no hit the amount of money will increase. Sometimes the Jackpot increases to € 130 million euros! The maximum amount of Jackpot money is € 190 million euros. The winner needs to have 5 correct numbers and 2 stars.

Still no winner?
Sometimes there is still no winner after 5 draws, even though there is € 190 million euros in the Jackpot. In that case the money is divided among the winner(s) in the lower categories. In this special situation, normal wins in the MegaMillions lottery also are added.
