Multiple £/€1 million prizes are guaranteed to be won each time the raffle is held. In the first couple of draws, 25 millionaires were made across the continent. Recent draws have seen 100 prizes given away.
European Millionaire Maker was introduced as part of the changes to EuroMillions in September 2016. The exciting raffle is played across all nine participating countries and takes place alongside the main draw on occasions.
The codes will not be chosen by the bettor. It will be the Gaming System who assigns the code or codes to the ticket.
The code assigned to each one of the Euromillions bets is unique for each drawing of the ‘European Millionaire Maker‘ in such a way that there cannot be more than one bet with the same code in each drawing.
In the case of weekly or multi-weekly participation slips, the code will be valid to participate in all ‘European Millionaire Maker‘ drawings that take place during the week(s).
Prizes
There is a single prize category of one million euros for the receipt containing the winning code.
Codes European Millionare Maker
The codes are generated by the operators of the different countries participating in Euromillions. To avoid having the same codes, each country uses a different initial letter than other countries.
The code consists of a country initial letter + 3 letters + 5 digits. Example: EBCD12345
Part 1: Country Initial Letter
Initial letter used for each country (if there are several, any of them may be used):
Country Initial Letter(s) Austria A, N, O, W Belgium B Spain E France F Ireland I Luxembourg L Portugal P United Kingdom H, J, M, T, V, X, Z Switzerland S, W Part 2: 3 Letters
Following the country-specific letter, 3 letters are included from the following:
B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z
Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and the letter Y are not used to generate Millionaire Rain codes.
Part 3: 5 Digits
After the country letter and the 3-letter combination, 5 digits (from 0 to 9) are included, forming a number between 00,000 and 99,999.
Conducting the draw
The draw will consist in the random selection of several codes from among all the participants (usually 10, 25 or 100, depending on the draw), each of which will be assigned a fixed prize. Normally, in the Rain of Millions only 1 code is chosen per draw, although the organizer reserves the right to choose more, each of which would have a prize of 1 million euros.
Once the draw is concluded, the scrutiny of all the codes participating in the game will begin in order to award the corresponding prizes, by coincidence between the code number(s) obtained in the draw and those randomly assigned by the Central Computer System to the participating slips.
