All You Need to Know About EuroMillions Raffles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

While EuroMillions is most famous for producing the biggest jackpots in all of Europe, the pan-European lottery also stages some amazing raffles throughout the year! These supplementary games hand out incredible prizes to the lucky winners, and we\u2019re here to tell you all you need to know to enter and win. Our EuroMillions raffle guide lets you in on how lottery raffles work, prize-winning odds, which countries have them, and more.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are EuroMillions Lottery Raffles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

EuroMillions raffles offer players another chance at winning a massive prize without even needing to match the lottery\u2019s winning numbers! The first EuroMillions raffle, called UK Millionaire Maker, was created in 2009 with the aim of creating a buzz around EuroMillions draws and to give players a unique gaming experience.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, almost every country that hosts EuroMillions also offers its own special raffle with rewarding prizes for players to benefit from. All EuroMillions raffles are staged alongside the main draws, either during one or both of the weekly draws, or on special occasions throughout the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Receiving your EuroMillions Raffle Code<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When a EuroMillions lottery ticket is purchased within the week that a raffle is being staged, a unique alphanumeric code is assigned and printed on it. This is is usually done automatically with no additional cost to the player, although some raffles, like the Luxembourg Joker, give you the option of participating in the raffle for an extra\u00a0\u20ac2. The code acts as proof of participation and your chance of winning. At either one or both of the EuroMillions weekly draws, a winning raffle code is selected after the 5 main numbers and 2 Lucky Stars are drawn. If the code on your EuroMillions ticket matches, you\u2019re a winner! There is no way to participate in the raffle without entering a EuroMillions draw, as you are only assigned a raffle code when you purchase a EuroMillions ticket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

What are the Odds of Winning EuroMillions Raffles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike\u00a0the odds of winning the lottery jackpot<\/a>, 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!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Can You Win the EuroMillions Jackpot and Raffle Prize at the Same Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Which Countries Have EuroMillions Lottery Raffles?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
