This Friday, July 15, the FDJ is putting into play the historic jackpot of 230 million euros. After the last two EuroMillion draws, no one has guessed the winning combination. This Friday evening, an umpteenth chance is offered to you.
As improbable as it may seem, the historic jackpot of 230 million euros is put into play this Friday evening July 15th. Indeed, no player in Europe has managed to find the 5 correct numbers and the 2 stars during the last two draws. Are you considering placing a grid? Know that there is a way to maximize the odds of winning.
If a simple EuroMillion grid costs only 2.50 euros, it guarantees a 1 in 13 chance of walking away with something. Also, to optimize it, La Française des Jeux provides easy-to-use tools that allow you to multiply this probability rate. Etoile+, the Multiple and Multichances grid. We explain how to use them and why they can tip the scales in your favor.
But before getting to the heart of the matter, let’s briefly recall the EuroMillion game principle. Organized by the FDJ, this lottery takes place at European level. The draw therefore concerns several countries and the players therefore number in the millions. Every Tuesday and Friday evening, a sum is put into play. To win it, you have to tick 5 correct numbers out of a total of 50 drawn – in addition to 2 stars out of 12 also drawn independently of the first numbers.
To play or discover the result of the EuroMillion, it’s here:
If a player succeeds in finding this combination (5 numbers and 2 star numbers), then he wins the jackpot. If no one succeeds, then the winnings of the intermediate ranks are distributed among the players. As for the jackpot, it is put back into play. An additional sum is also added to it, thus making it climb constantly.
On July 8, it reached the limit amount established by the FDJ, namely 230 million euros, thus setting a new record and becoming the biggest jackpot ever recorded in the history of the EuroMillion. As we said, it is put into play this Friday evening for the second consecutive time. Alongside this main draw, there is also My Million, included in the price of a simple grid and which guarantees a French millionaire in each draw.
How to increase your chances of winning at EuroMillion?
As we said before, La Française des Jeux offers several options that increase your chances of winning the EuroMillion. Among them, there is MultiChances which, as its name suggests, gives you several chances. However, the latter is only available on the fdj.fr website. Concretely, it allows you to place yourself on 660 grids.
Also, in the event of a win, the amount you will receive will obviously be smaller since the cake is shared between the 660 grids. However, if among all the grids played one has the right numbers, this guarantees you a very nice sum. MultiChances is available from 5 euros. It’s a great way to diversify your grill and can earn you big bucks.
Next is the Star+ option. The latter costs one euro and is added to the basic price of the simple grid. You will therefore pay 3.50 euros on each grid where it is checked. With Star+ the probability of winning is no longer 1 in 13 but 1 chance in 3.8. Which is almost 3x more than for a simple grid. While Mutlichances is only available via the internet, the Etoile+ option can be used at your tobacconist.
That said, it is much easier to place your bet from the web. In effect, creating an FDJ account takes 2 minutes watch in hand. It allows you to place your grid easily, from your computer, tablet or smartphone directly from the application. Not to mention that it’s also the safest way to play EuroMillion since you don’t have to travel.
In addition, you do not take the risk of misplacing your ticket as has already happened to some winners. You also have access to other draw games such as Loto or even Keno. In terms of ease of use, there is no better. To conclude, the last tool that can help you maximize your winnings is the Multiple Grid.
It allows you to tick more numbers compared to the simple grid. In fact, the Multiple grid gives you the option of ticking and/or 12 stars per grid. This greatly increases your chances of winning something. Be careful though, this tool should be used with care since the more numbers you tick, the more the price of the grid rises.
Also, remember that the EuroMillions remains a game of chance. Only bet amounts that you are able to lose. Even if some numbers are more likely to come out than others, you cannot rely on the results of previous draws to guess which ones will come out in the future.
My Million: the easiest way to become a millionaire
Alongside the main EuroMillion draw, there is the often forgotten or misunderstood My Million draw. The latter ensures a French millionaire in each draw, on Tuesday and Friday. My Million is included in the price of a EuroMillion single grid. By placing a grid, you therefore participate automatically. To put it simply, it is a number assigned to each game board.
Before the main draw, the FDJ reveals the My Million number. If your fate, then you leave with a million euros. Where it is particularly interesting is that you do not have to find any number or star since it is a random draw, a bit like the principle of a raffle. As a reminder, the jackpot of 230 million euros will be put into play two more times if there is no winner, i.e. until July 22.
On this date, whatever happens, it will be distributed among the players of the lower rank. You have until Friday evening before 8:15 p.m. to try your luck. The results of the EuroMillion draw are available the same day, around 9:15 p.m., on the FDJ website or application.
