It has been several weeks since the EuroMillions draw produced a winner. This Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at 9:30 p.m., no less than 178 million euros are at stake as part of this European lottery.
As a bonus, the game also secures a millionaire in France via the My Million raffle system. Needless to say, the excitement around this super jackpot will be very strong.
In France, the FDJ is responsible for collecting the stakes for this EuroMillions draw. The French company offers several ways to bet on the lottery: the best known is still to fill out a paper grid at a tobacconist in the network. However, since the start of the health crisis, the number of downloads of the FDJ application has exploded. With just a few clicks, you can place your bet online without having to travel.
How to play this EuroMillions draw?
If you have decided to place your bet online, you have two options: either via the FDJ mobile application, or via the website. In both cases, the procedure is the same. It won’t take you more than a few minutes to create an account and bet on this EuroMillions draw. The great advantage is that it saves you physical trips to a tobacconist.
Indeed, by opening an online account on FDJ, you avoid 2 trips: first the one to place your bet. But then, once the draw is announced, you won’t need to go back to the tobacconist to determine your potential winnings (or collect them). With the FDJ site, you will immediately know the amount of your winnings and you will be directly credited. For larger amounts, you will have to go to the company’s headquarters.
To open a new FDJ account, it’s here:
Once you have opened an FDJ account, you will then need to fund it to bet on the EuroMillion draw. Again, you have an advantage. Of course, you will not be able to deposit cash, but the website allows you to pay with many means of payment: credit card, PayPal or even bank transfer. The latter will not be fast enough to make you replay this Tuesday evening.
You don’t know how? Once again, the FDJ site (or application) is the solution: they will allow you to easily enter the EuroMillion. By default, you will have to tick 2 stars and 5 numbers in the grid. It will cost you 2.50 euros for each grid. If you want to increase your chances of winning (by checking more boxes), it will cost you more. It’s up to you to decide what is the most profitable for you.
If you don’t want to tick more numbers, there is also the Star + option which can be interesting. With it, you increase your chances of winning by 25%. It will cost you 1 euro per grid. To find out more about how it works, you can visit the official website of La Française des Jeux. Everything is explained in a simple and transparent way.
My Million is the icing on the cake
This Tuesday, October 5, all eyes will be on the jackpot of 178 million euros which is at stake. As a reminder, this draw has not seen a winner for a very long time. Last Friday, no one had found the right combination that allowed them to walk away with 163 million euros. Tonight, it is therefore an even larger jackpot that will be put into play. Otherwise, it will be put into play this Friday evening.
However, besides the EuroMillions draw itself, you have other possibilities to come away with a nice nest egg. Indeed, all lottery participants will also be automatically registered for the My Million game. The latter is a guaranteed jackpot of 1 million euros for the person who will be drawn. Participation is included when you purchase a EuroMillion grid.
The My Million draw is completely independent of the EuroMillions draw. It takes place at 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday evening against 9:05 p.m. for the draw. For each grid completed, you will receive an automatically generated code which will be your ticket for this My Million draw. A person in France is therefore guaranteed to end up a millionaire tonight, even if they have not found the right combination in the lottery.
Key moments around the EuroMillion
If you decide to enter Tuesday night’s EuroMillion draw, there are a few things to know. In all cases, the maximum time for participation in France is 8.15 p.m. (this varies slightly from one country to another). Please note, the majority of tobacconists close before this time, so you have to do it in advance so as not to miss the deadline. For the online part, you can register until 8:15 p.m.
Once the registrations are closed, you will have to wait until 8:20 p.m. to get the result of the My Million raffle. It is only around 9:05 pm that the results of the EuroMillion draw will be announced. As always, the latter is broadcast on the TF1 channel as well as the next day in the Official Journal. If you have played on the internet, you can directly find out the amount of your winnings in your account.
