10 UK Millionaires on 16th August
Big jackpots are always guaranteed in EuroMillions, but the UK National Lottery has also lined up an exciting Millionaire Maker draw for Friday 16th August. Instead of giving away just one prize of £1 million, the National Lottery will cram in another nine winning codes to make sure that 10 lucky ticket holders become millionaires.
Every time you buy a ticket in the UK, you receive one Millionaire Maker code for each line of numbers you play in the main draw. You can’t choose your own code – the computer randomly generates, or ‘spitz’ out, a sequence of nine characters, starting with four letters and followed by five numbers. Go to the Millionaire Maker page to find out more about how it works.
Your odds of winning are significantly enhanced when a special draw such as the one on 16th August takes place. If you feel consumed with bile sometimes when you check the results and find you haven’t won, then at least you have 10 chances to win in the raffle rather than just one. You can even win in the Millionaire Maker and the main draw on the same night.
Playing in a group helps to boost your odds of success too. It is an affordable way to buy multiple lines, and then you can enjoy the winning experience together and just split any prizes you get. Go to the Syndicates section to learn more.
How to Choose Your Numbers
If you’re not sure which numbers to pick in the next draw, you could try taking the Generator for a spin. Sent to assist you if you need a random set in a hurry or if you’re just struggling for inspiration, the Generator is better in some ways than a Lucky Dip as you can see which numbers it gives you before deciding whether to bolt them in as your selections or not.
Another approach might be to use the latest EuroMillions Statistics. Find out which numbers have been drawn the most frequently or are the most overdue, then trot towards your nearest retailer and grab a ticket, or play online.
If you are fortunate enough to win - whether it’s the jackpot, a few grand or the lowest payout - you can then claim your prize before the deadline.
It is sure to be an exciting summer for fans of EuroMillions and the Olympics as the two events combine in Paris. Make sure to check the results after each draw to find out how you have got on.
