How to Play EuroMillions To play EuroMillions, you need to select five main numbers between 1 and 50 and then two additional numbers, known as Lucky Stars, from a choice of 1 to 12. You can either choose the numbers yourself or use the ‘Lucky Dip’ option to randomly generate a line on your ticket.
There are several ways to buy EuroMillions tickets:
Playing online is quick and simple as you can buy tickets wherever you are at a time that suits you. You just need to set up an account and select your numbers, and you will automatically be paid and informed of any winnings. Playing online provides an increased level of security as your ticket is safely stored and cannot be lost, damaged or stolen like a physical ticket.

If you want to play via an authorised retailer, you will need to fill in your numbers on a play slip, select the draws you’d like to take part in and hand the ticket to the cashier. They will process your ticket and give you a proof of purchase, but it is then your responsibility to keep the ticket safe and check your numbers. If you win a prize, you will need to take your ticket to an authorised retailer to receive your prize or, for larger prizes, contact the National Lottery directly.
Playing in a syndicate is a great way of maximising your chances of winning a EuroMillions prize. While every single EuroMillions ticket has the same odds of winning the jackpot, if you join together with other players to buy extra lines you will hold a share in more tickets without having to pay full price for all of the lines.
You can either team up with work colleagues, friends or family or, alternatively, join an online syndicate. The latter option removes the effort of having to organise a group and leaves you with all the advantages of playing online, with your tickets securely stored in your player account and any prizes paid automatically.
