EuroMillions rolls over once again and the main jackpot reaches €174 million for the draw scheduled for this Tuesday. The value reflects consecutive rounds without a bettor matching the five main numbers and the two lucky stars. Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm in Paris. The pan-European game’s current top prize could reach €250 million.
The lottery format requires the choice of five numbers between 1 and 50, in addition to two lucky stars from 1 to 12. Participants from different countries, including those outside Europe, can enter the draw through authorized services that purchase physical tickets from local retailers. An affordable option allows online purchase and delivery of a scanned copy of the official ticket before the draw.
Jackpot accumulates after recent draw with no main winner
The last draw, held on Friday, June 5th, registered keys 5, 6, 16, 17 and 49, with stars 2 and 12. No one won the main prize estimated at around €160 million. Secondary prizes were distributed among tens of thousands of bettors in Europe. The value rolled over to the next extraction and continues to grow.
- 5 numbers + 2 stars: 0 winners
- 5 numbers + 1 star: 3 winners, around €365 thousand each
- Other categories reward thousands to tens of euros per correct ticket
The accumulation mechanics follow fixed lottery rules. When no one hits the top, the amount is added to the next draw within the established limits.
How international participants access EuroMillions
Services like TheLotter allow players from countries like Brazil to participate legally. Local representatives buy the physical ticket on behalf of the bettor and store the document in a safe. The customer receives digital proof before the draw and has the prize credited in full after official deductions, if they win.
The process includes simple and systematic game options, pools or packages for multiple draws. Each ticket purchased at EuroMillions also automatically enters the El Millón raffle, with a guaranteed prize of €1 million in Spain. Extra draws, known as Superdraws, take place on special dates with high starting jackpots, such as €130 million.
History of major prizes awarded in Europe
EuroMillions has already delivered record jackpots in several countries. In 2025, a French player took €250 million. Other millionaire gains were recorded in Ireland, Austria, the United Kingdom and Portugal. One notable case involved €240 million to an Austrian bettor in December 2023.
Winners via online services also appear on the list. In September 2025, a player from Lebanon received more than €15,000. Brazilians have already won smaller prizes in previous draws. Larger amounts require in-person collection with support from the operator.
Rules and deadlines for validating winning tickets
Bettors should check the results immediately after the draw, which takes place in Paris and is broadcast on several European channels. Redemption deadlines vary depending on the country of purchase, generally between 90 and 180 days. Secondary prizes are automatically credited to online accounts. Larger jackpots require in-person verification.
Players choose numbers manually or use the random function. Strategies include systematic combinations to cover more possibilities, although no guarantee exists. The lottery reinforces the recreational nature of the game.
Updates planned for EuroMillions in 2026
Discussions are underway about increasing the jackpot ceiling to even higher amounts from 2026. The current limit of €250 million has already been reached on multiple occasions last year. Changes aim to maintain participants’ interest and increase the attractiveness of the main prizes.
This week’s draw keeps expectations high on several continents. Anyone wishing to participate must confirm the purchase deadline, generally a few hours before closing.
