EuroMillions Gears Up For 100 Millionaires Draw on 22nd November
Updated: Friday 18th October 2024
A special EuroMillions draw on Friday 22nd November will create 100 millionaires across Europe, making it one of the biggest lottery events of the year and giving you a better chance than usual of winning a huge prize.
The extra prizes will be awarded in a raffle known as the European Millionaire Maker. This has only taken place a few times before - most recently in February 2023.
How Does It Work?
You don’t have to do anything differently to play the special draw. You will be given a Millionaire Maker code for every line of EuroMillions numbers you play - just like normal - and this code will also be used for the European Millionaire Maker.
In the raffle, 100 winning codes will be selected at random from all the codes that have been generated across all nine participating countries. If you match one of these codes exactly, with all the letters and numbers in the correct positions, you will receive £1 million.
As the draw is conducted entirely at random, there is no way of knowing how many of the 100 winners will come from the UK. However, in previous draws there has been a high proportion. Back in February 2023, there were 30 UK millionaires on the night.
The regular Millionaire Maker will still be held, guaranteeing another £1 million payout in the UK, while there is also the chance to win prizes in the main draw. The jackpot could be at its minimum £17 million value, or potentially it could be much larger.
Don’t forget to check your tickets after the draw, looking at both your EuroMillions numbers and your Millionaire Maker code. If you win a prize, you’ll need to come forward within 180 days to claim it.
It has already been a thrilling year for EuroMillions players with some enormous jackpots given away and lots of big events, and the draw on 22nd November promises to make even more millionaires.
