You have 13 reasons to play the EuroMillions every single time. Starting with the big jackpot and all the way down to the last prize category, there is plenty to win each draw! Here is everything you need to know about the EuroMillions prizes and how to win them!
How Big Is the EuroMillions Jackpot?
The jackpot in the EuroMillions lottery is the most sought-after lottery prize in the whole of Europe. The minimum amount for the first prize is €17 million. If there is no jackpot winner that draw, then the first prize comes at an increased amount on the following draw. The top prize can keep growing for many draws, but it does have a limit.
When the EuroMillions jackpot reaches €250million, it cannot grow any further. This is the jackpot cap and once the prize reaches it, it can stay at this amount for another four draws. If after five consecutive €250million draws there is no first prize winner, then the entire amount passes down to the next prize category that has a winner.
The EuroMillions jackpot is pari-mutuel, which means that if there are several winners, they will get an even share of the prize. There is no limit to the number of jackpot winners that can share the prize.
What Are the EuroMillions Secondary Prizes?
Aside from the jackpot, there are 12 other EuroMillions prize categories, each featuring a separate winning combination. Each prize category is allocated a certain percentage of the total prize pool. This amount will then be shared by all the winners of that category. In the table below, you can see the full EuroMillions prize list, the winning combination required for each of them, and the percentage of the prize pool they represent.
