How it Works
The game works in the same way as the UK Millionaire Maker. You receive a unique raffle code alongside every EuroMillions line you play. The code is generated at random and will consist of four letters and five numbers (for example ABCD12345). The first letter of the code corresponds to the country where the ticket was purchased:
Country | Starting Letter of Raffle Code |
---|---|
Austria | A, N, O or W |
Belgium | B |
France | F |
Ireland | I |
Luxembourg | L |
Portugal | P |
Spain | E |
Switzerland | R or S |
United Kingdom | H, J, M, T, V, X or Z |
The winning codes are selected at random from all those that have been entered into the draw across Europe. There is not a pre-determined amount of winners for each country.
You must match one of the winning codes exactly, with each character in the same place, to receive one of the prizes.
When European Millionaire Maker games are held, the code for the European version of the raffle will be the same as the one for your entry into UK Millionaire Maker, giving you yet another chance to win £1 million!
The prize for every winner across Europe is €1 million, but the UK National Lottery tops up the payouts for its winners so they all receive £1 million each.
The odds of winning depend on how many prizes are offered and how many tickets are sold, so they are always different.

100 Millionaires
On Friday 21st January, an edition of the European Millionaire Maker took place that was known as 100 Millionaires. The participating EuroMillions nations had decided to put up a prize fund of €100 million, which was guaranteed to create 100 millionaires across the continent.
The big event sparked a surge of ticket sales (47.56 million tickets sold across Europe) and the prizes were spread out across eight different countries. France created the most millionaires, with 28 on one night.
25 Millionaires
When the European Millionaire Maker first took place, in October 2016, it promised to create 25 new millionaires. Another draw, in February 2018, also awarded 25 players with €1 million / £1 million.
The promotion only takes place occasionally, when all participating nations are in agreement and there is sufficient money in the Reserve Fund.
