Some EuroMillions participating countries offer their players additional ways to win, besides the already-existing 13 prize categories. In the UK, a Millionaire Maker code is drawn with every EuroMillions draw, guaranteeing that one ticket holder wins £1 million. UK players are automatically entered into the Millionaire Maker raffle whenever they purchase a ticket. With each line of numbers they play, they get a raffle code. Both the EuroMillions line and the raffle code are included in the price of the ticket.
Usually, when a Millionaire Maker draw takes place, one random code is selected as the winner. In order to receive the prize, which has an amount of £1 million, you need to match the code exactly, with every letter and number in the same place. But the upcoming draw happening on July 19th guarantees an extra nine millionaires.
The Millionaire Maker raffle only includes used codes that were generated for that particular draw, meaning that all prizes are guaranteed to be won. In the main EuroMillions draw, on the other hand, the prizes are not guaranteed to be won as players may not match the drawn numbers. Therefore, the draw could result in a rollover if the grand prize is not won.
Why is it worth entering this special draw? Your odds of winning in the Millionaire Make raffle are better than the odds of winning the jackpot. With the extra nine millionaires, the odds of winning are even better for the July 19th draw.
Although we would’ve loved to let you know the exact odds of winning, these cannot be known in advance as they depend on how many tickets are sold. But the good news we can confirm is that, if you are lucky enough, you can win the Millionaire Maker prize and a main game prize on the same night. You can learn more about this raffle, including an approximation of the odds of winning, on this page.
