How EuroMillions Works
To play EuroMillions, participants select five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. Players can choose their own numbers or opt for a Lucky Dip.
Thunderball entries require five numbers plus one Thunderball number, with prizes remaining fixed regardless of how many tickets are sold.
