At the beginning of March, FDJ met all the conditions to make this EuroMillions draw a great success. The French operator combines three draws in one to boost participants’ chances of walking away with a jackpot. To play EuroMillions and take advantage of all the advantages of the moment, we will explain everything to you.
A EuroMillions draw grid costs 2.50 euros by default – in store or online. On this Friday evening, March 4, it will actually allow you to participate in 3 draws: the main EuroMillions with €78 million in play, the French My Million draw with one million euros guaranteed and the Lucky Week draw.
Lucky Week is a one-time operation that only takes place this week and until March 6. All those who have bet 10 euros on the FDJ site (entries at tobacconists are not taken into account) will be able to take advantage of this draw. 1,001 people will walk away with a bonus via this draw. The first will receive 50,000 euros.
EuroMillions and a Lucky Week
This Friday’s EuroMillions draw is generous. Since no one found the right combination last Tuesday, no less than 78 million euros will be at stake for this new lottery. You can play it at a tobacconist or on the web via the official FDJ website. We also advise you to favor this second option because it gives you access to the Lucky Week draw.
If you play the EuroMillion, you should know that the draw will see 5 numbers and 2 stars being drawn. By default, when you bet 2.50 euros, you can tick 5 numbers and 2 stars. If you want to maximize your chances of winning something, you can 1) tick more boxes at a higher price for the grid 2) tick more grids or 3) choose the Star+ option. The latter gives you a 1 in 4 chance of winning.
The EuroMillion draw is the one that puts the largest amount at stake, ie 78 million euros today. That said, there is a non-negligible chance that no one will find the right combination. There is therefore a risk that European participants will leave empty-handed. To compensate for this, FDJ decided to create another common thread game, My Million. To this, there is also the Lucky Week this week. The winners are guaranteed by the organization.
If the EuroMillions draw is everywhere in Europe, My Million is a French game. Participation in this game is included in the 2.50 euro entry ticket for the EuroMillion. For those who play on the FDJ site, for example, you will receive for each grid validated at the EuroMillion a My Million “code” which is generated automatically and randomly.
This code serves as participation in this additional draw called My Million. FDJ will raffle one of the codes and offer a prize pool of 1 million euros to this person. It’s a guaranteed jackpot that rolls out with every EuroMillions draw. Moreover, it is a draw that is exclusively reserved for French customers: you therefore have a real chance of leaving with a jackpot.
Why play during Lucky Week?
Like the My Million draw, Lucky Week will award guaranteed winners. So it’s not like the EuroMillion main draw which may potentially not come out a winner. Lucky Week is an operation which, as its name suggests, lasts a week. Until Sunday March 6, each time a player bets a tranche of 10 euros, he receives a participation in this draw. A maximum of 10 entries per person (i.e. 100 euros in total) is authorized.
The Lucky Week draw will take place the following week and will yield 1,001 winners. First of all, there will be a super winner who will walk away with the jackpot which is 50,000 euros. The other 1,000 people who will be drawn will receive a promo code of 20 euros which can be used on the video games available on the FDJ site.
We remind you once again that this Lucky Week draw is exclusively available to those who have played EuroMillions online. Opening an account on the FDJ website only takes a few seconds. This allows you to place your bet from a computer or a mobile, without having to go to a physical tobacconist. Whether you have already registered or are playing for the first time, you have the same probability of winning.
Information not to be missed
The EuroMillion draw with 78 million euros at stake will take place this Friday evening, March 4, around 9:10 p.m. The end time to participate is 8:15 p.m. Most tobacconists are closed at this time but you can still choose to gamble online. Opening an account on the FDJ site will not even take 5 minutes, it gives you time to play quietly.
The minimum bet to play EuroMillions is 2.50 euros. That said, to have a ticket to participate in Lucky Week, you will have to place a minimum of 10 euros over the entire past week. It is therefore necessary to aim well to be eligible for all the draws. The most interesting in our opinion is My Million since it guarantees one million euros. That said, Lucky Week and the EuroMillion draw offer some nice perks.
