All You Need to Know About EuroMillions Raffles

What are the Odds of Winning EuroMillions Raffles?

Unlike the odds of winning the lottery jackpot, a raffle prize depends solely on the number of lottery tickets sold. In other words, the more codes manufactured, the lower your chances are of winning. For example, high jackpots draw large amounts of players, meaning large quantities of codes will be generated, which will significantly lower your chance of winning. If you want to improve your odds of winning a EuroMillions raffle prize, playing when the jackpot is low is your best bet. The reduced number of players means less competition for both the raffle and jackpot prize!

Can You Win the EuroMillions Jackpot and Raffle Prize at the Same Time?

Yes, you can! Although both games are printed on the same ticket and played alongside each other, EuroMillions lottery draws and EuroMillions raffles are viewed as two totally separate games. This means that a player who matches the lottery numbers drawn as well as the code selected in the raffle, is eligible to claim both prizes, as this is considered winning in two unconnected games.

Which Countries Have EuroMillions Lottery Raffles?

While nine European countries host EuroMillions lottery draws, eight of them have exciting raffles that are staged throughout the year. Here is a list of every raffle offered exclusively by EuroMillions.
