UK Millionaire Maker

You are automatically entered into the Millionaire Maker draw when you play the UK version of EuroMillions. It is a raffle which guarantees that at least one lucky player will win £1 million in every draw. There are also regular promotional draws when multiple ticket holders become millionaires on the same night.

Millionaire Maker Codes

The latest Millionaire Maker results can be found below every Tuesday and Friday. See all the codes and select a date for more draw details. To win one of the guaranteed £1 million EuroMillions raffle prizes, your code has to match all of the characters in the order they appear. A partial match does not win a prize.

How it Works

• For every line of EuroMillions numbers sold in the UK, a unique serial code is generated. This consists of four letters and five numbers, starting with H, J, M, T, V, X or Z.
• To win the £1 million prize, your code must match exactly the code that is selected as the winner. Every character must be in the same position.
• The draw only includes the valid codes that have been generated for that draw, so the prize is always guaranteed to have a winner.
• An Automated Draw Machine (ADM) is used to pick the winner. Millionaire Maker codes purchased on multiple-draw tickets which are still valid will also be entered into the ADM. These machines have been used in the UK for many years, and are regularly checked. An ADM ensures EuroMillions can operate a fast, reliable and completely random Millionaire Maker draw.
• If you win, you have 180 days to claim your prize.
• The European Millionaire Maker works in a similar way to the UK Millionaire Maker, but is open to everyone who plays a line in any of the nine participating EuroMillions nations, and the first letter of the code will be different in each country.

Odds of Winning

Unlike the main EuroMillions game, which has set odds due to a set number of possible combinations, the odds for the UK Millionaire Maker game will vary between draws.

As it is a traditional raffle, the odds are based entirely on how many tickets have been entered into the draw. The number of £1 million prizes on offer is also a factor, as the National Lottery sometimes offers more than one. The more prizes on offer, the better your chances of winning.

Tuesday EuroMillions draws tend to attract fewer players, meaning your odds of winning in midweek are better than on a Friday. Fewer players also take part when the jackpot is low.

The table below provides an approximation of the odds of winning the Millionaire Maker prize on each draw day, when the jackpot is at its minimum amount or when it has built up after four rollovers. The figures are based on anticipated ticket sales:

Each individual code has a separate and equal chance of winning a prize, regardless of when, where or by whom it was purchased.
