2 Chance

When you play EuroMillions in Switzerland, the 2 Chance draw always gives you another opportunity to win prizes.

You are automatically entered into the Second Chance draw at no additional cost. Your five main EuroMillions numbers are entered into a separate draw, with prizes for matching three, four or five numbers. Match all five numbers and you could win hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs.

The name of the game is different depending on where in Switzerland you are located. It is only known as 2nd Chance in the German-speaking cantons and the canton of Ticino, where EuroMillions is run by Swisslos. Loterie Romande, which operates in the six French-speaking cantons of the country, calls it Swiss Win.

Latest Results

The latest results for the 2 Chance draw are shown below and will appear shortly after the draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday. Select a specific draw to view the full prize breakdown, including the number of winners in each tier and the prizes that were won.

How it Works

The 2 Chance draw is held just before the main EuroMillions draw on Tuesdays and Fridays. It is entirely separate, taking place in Zurich rather than Paris. Five numbers between 1 and 50 are drawn at random. It is therefore possible for the same number to appear in both the main EuroMillions draw and 2 Chance.

You do not have to select any extra numbers to take part in 2 Chance. Your five main EuroMillions numbers are entered into the 2 Chance draw, with the Star numbers discounted. The cost of playing is included in the price of a EuroMillions ticket, which is CHF3.50 per line.

Match three or more numbers out of five and you’ll win a prize.

Prizes and Odds of Winning

The prizes in 2 Chance are not fixed. Instead, a percentage of the prize fund is allocated to each of the three categories and the money is split between winners. If you are the only player who matches five numbers out of five, the estimated prize is CHF150,000.

If nobody wins the top prize, the money is diverted to the second category. However, there is a maximum payout of CHF950 in the Match 4 tier. The following table shows all the different ways to win and the odds for each one. The overall odds of winning are 1 in 209.
