How to play Euromillions

You can enter the EuroMilions lotto by visiting your nearest official outlet or – in some participating countries – by purchasing tickets online.

When playing from a shop, you can play using a Single Payslip, a Multiple Payslip or by choosing a Lucky Dip entry. The differences between these options become clear when you consider the details of each one individually:

• Single Payslips contain six sets of main boards and lucky star boards. Select five numbers on a main board and two numbers on the associated lucky start board to make one entry. To make two entries, complete two sets of boards, and so on. One payslip therefore allows you to make up to six entries, and these can be repeated for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 consecutive draws if you mark the relevant option and pay your entry fees all at once.

• Multiple Payslips contain one main board and one lucky star board. They are specifically laid out so that you can choose more numbers than is possible with a Single Payslip. The main board here allows you to choose between 6 and 10 numbers, whilst the lucky star board allows you to choose between 2 and 9 numbers. Once again, choosing more numbers costs more money than a single entry, and if you want to enter your numbers for a series of draws you can do so by paying the entry fees up front.

• Lucky Dips do not require the completion of any payslip. Instead, simply go to the lottery terminal operator and ask for as many lucky dip entries as you require. Your numbers will then be generated randomly by the terminal itself. If you choose to pay for consecutive entries you can do so, but bear in mind that you will be playing the same set of numbers throughout, and not a different set for each draw.
