You bought a ticket for Euromillions and want to check the results
If you’ve bought a EuroMillions lottery ticket you want to make sure that you check it as soon as the drawing ends. But just what do you need to do in order to check your ticket? Well, it’s actually a simple process and all you’ll need is your computer or mobile device to do it.
Check the ticket where you bought it
The first place to check is where you actually purchased the ticket. If you bought the Euromillions ticket online on our site you’ll want to check the winning numbers here. That makes it easy because you can see the winning numbers and your ticket in exactly the same place. You don’t have to worry about trying to match the numbers from one page to another. You can even find direct comparisons between the numbers on the ticket that you purchased and the winning numbers so you can see if you’ve won and how much. But that’s not the only way that you can check your ticket.
Check on the lotto website
The EuroMillions website will also give you the information that you’re looking for. Your ticket isn’t there, but you can check what the winning numbers were. You can also see those numbers almost immediately after the drawing, which makes this one of the fastest ways to check the ticket. You’ll need to also have the ticket available at the same time so you can compare the numbers. This can be a little bit of a hassle but you know for a fact you’re getting the right numbers because you’re going directly to the source. Just make sure you’re looking at the numbers from the correct drawing.
Check on other websites
If I am determined that I want to check my EuroMillions, I can do it on other websites as well. In fact, once the drawing is over there are a number of other websites that will show the winning numbers. It might take them a little bit longer in order to get the numbers up on their pages, but it’s usually not more than an hour or two. That means you can check your favorite website for information. Just make sure that they’re getting accurate information and that you’re checking the results from the latest drawing rather than older numbers that haven’t gotten removed yet.
When to check your numbers
The EuroMillions takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays and draws in Paris at 8:45 p.m. At that time the drawing is live in Paris, but you may not be able to get the live feed. Instead, you can see the results within just a couple of hours on just about every major news source and plenty of third-party websites. All you need to do is decide where you’re going to check your ticket.
You could be the winner of a million euro prize, and that’s definitely not something you want to wait around to find out. You’re going to want that prize as soon as possible.

Check today's Euromillions jackpot amount
If you are interested in participating in Euromillions, it will be important for you to know how much Euromillions is today. We are talking about the jackpot amount, of course. On our website, you can see all the jackpots and their sizes. The current amount will always be updated. To inform you about today's jackpot for Euromillions, we have inserted a dynamic banner below. I will always show the current size of the Euromillions' jackpot.
What is also important for you to know is that the amount that you can actually win may be even higher than that amount, because the final payout also depends on how many tickets are bought for the next draw. Parts of those ticket sales will also go into the jackpot, so you may end up winning even more!
Can I play even if Euromillions tickets are not for sale in my country?
That is what we are all about! If you can go to your lotto shop and buy tickets for that lottery there, then you do not need an online lottery ticket service. Our online service enables you to get tickets for lotteries from other countries. Let's say you would like to participate in Euromillions. There are many good reasons to do that - first, the odds of winning are quite good, and second, the jackpot often enough is higher than any other lottery in the world.
If you play online, it does not matter what country you live in. As long as you have the means to pay online, you can get a ticket for Euromillions (or one of the other lotteries that we offer this service for). The easiest way to pay is a Visa or Mastercard, but there are many more options available.
What is the growth rate per draw for Euromillions?
Euromillions draws take place twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays), and usually, with every draw where it is not won, the jackpot increases by an amount which is between 6 and 10 million euros. For obvious reasons, the increases tend to be lower when the jackpot is low, and they get larger once the threshold of 100 million euros has been surpassed.
How large can the Euromillions jackpot grow?
The maximum jackpot for Euromillions is € 190 million. That is where a cap rule comes into play. Unless it is won, it stays at €190 million, and all funds from further ticket sales that would have been added to the jackpot, go into the second-tier prize. That, of course, significantly increases your chances of winning a big amount.
And it gets even better: Once the capped amount is reached, there will be up to four more draws. But if the jackpot has not been won then, in the fifth draw, somebody will definitely win it. And here's the beauty of this rule: If nobody has all 5 numbers and the two extra numbers correctly, then it is good enough to have 5 plus one matching number. And since that combination often enough finds no winning ticket, you may even win a share of the jackpot with just five matching numbers!
Of course, in this case, there is a good chance that you have to share that jackpot with maybe a dozen other players. But I am sure you would not mind that because sharing the capped amount with ten other lucky winners would mean that you still receive a share of €19 million.
So, check today's Euromillions jackpot amount, compare it to the other international lotteries and then get started and get your ticket!
