Euromillions ticket cost
To join the Euromillions draw, you will need to pay £2.50. To play any of The Health Lottery's draw games only costs £1. The Big Win, All or Nothing and QuickWin have never cost more than a quid!
You can buy Euromillions tickets online every day. But remember, to play on a draw day, you'll need to buy your ticket before 7.30pm. Draw days are Tuesday and Friday.
At The Health Lottery, we have Big Win draws five days a week. You can purchase your £1 ticket on any day. If you are purchasing online, there is a handy countdown timer that will tell you when the next draw is going to be. If you want to join for this draw, make sure to purchase your ticket before the timer hits zero.
How to win Euromillions prizes
A Euromillions jackpot can only be won by matching five main numbers plus two lucky stars. That’s seven correct numbers for the jackpot!
At The Health Lottery, The Big Win's second chance draw jackpot can be yours when you match just five balls! That nets you £100,000 on a Wednesday or Saturday.
While the Euromillions amount is much higher, remember that there are a lot more players and you need to match two more balls. This means that you are less likely to match all seven numbers, and if you do, you may have to split the winnings with many other players.
For both Euromillions and The Big win, you will need to match two balls to get a free ticket or the cost of your ticket back.
How many people play Euromillions?
In the point above we mentioned splitting the jackpot. This is the go-to answer when multiple people win the lottery by matching the same numbers. Of course, the chances of this happening increase with the number of players a lottery has...
According to The Sun, the Euromillions sees 80 to 100 million people purchasing tickets each week. At The Health Lottery, we typically see around 20,000 players each week.
What numbers should I pick?
Historically (from launch until 2022), Euromillions numbers have stayed under 25 for the most part. On the other hand, The Health Lottery has seen a healthy mix of all numbers from 1 to 50. And although there is no surefire way to know lottery numbers before they come up, here are a few entertaining scientific and not-so-scientific explorations of how to predict lottery numbers, for your entertainment.
