All participants in Euro Millions must be over the age of 18 when they buy the tickets.

A prize can only be claimed in the country that issued the winning ticket.

The bearer – not the purchaser – of a Euro Millions ticket is deemed to be the rightful owner. This means that if you lose a winning ticket, the prize can be legally claimed by whoever happens to find it.

In the UK, Rule 5 states that The [lottery] Company will only pay out a Prize in the UK Game in respect of a Ticket and, for the avoidance of doubt, will not pay out a prize in respect of any ticket or entry for a lottery forming part of the EuroMillions Game issued by or on behalf of a Co-Promoter.

Similar terms are applied by each Co-Promoter. So, you can only claim your prize in the country in which you bought the ticket.

Since 20th January, 2006, the operators introduced a cap on the number of times the euromillions draw could roll over. If not won on the 12th rollover, the jackpot will now be re-distributed to the next highest winning tier, most likely those matching five main numbers and one star number.
