The codes will not be chosen by the player. The code(s) will be assigned to the ticket by the Gaming System.

‘Millionarie Maker’ is a game associated to Euromillions, which consists of assigning a code to each of the single Euromillions bets placed and for each of the Euromillions draws in which the ticket participates. If a multiple bet is placed, a number of codes equal to the number of single bets equivalent to the multiple bet will be assigned. This code is different from the ‘European Millionarie Maker’.

In the case of weekly or multi-weekly participation slips, the code will be valid to participate in all “Millionaire Maker” drawings that take place during the week(s).

Prizes

There is a single prize category of one million euros for the slip containing the winning code. However, the organizer may offer a prize of more than one million euros or several prizes of one million euros, depending on the existing reserve fund, in a draw to be determined by the organizer.

Millionaire maker codes

The codes are automatically generated and assigned by the raffle organiser.

The code consists of 4 letters + 5 digits. Example: BCDF12345

  • Part 1: 4 letters

    After the country's own letter, 4 letters from among the following are included:

    B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z

    Neither vowels (A, E, I, O, U) nor Y are used to generate El Millón codes.

  • Part 2: 5 digits

    After the country letter and the 3 letters, 5 digits (0 to 9) are included, forming a number between 00.000 and 99.999.

Conducting the draw

The draw will consist of the random selection of one or more codes from among all the participants, each of which will be assigned a fixed prize. Normally, in El Millón 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.

About Euromillions

EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday evening in Paris at 8:45 p.m. local time. Ticket sales close shortly before the draw, depending on the country where you play. Results are published shortly after, allowing players across Europe to check if they’ve won. Knowing the exact time and place of the draw helps ensure you never miss your chance to participate.
EuroMillions is a transnational lottery played across 9 European countries. Its wide participation ensures massive jackpots and a rich variety of national features, from exclusive raffles to varying ticket prices. Understanding where the game is played, how it started, and what extras each country offers can help you make the most of every ticket you buy.
EuroMillions has awarded some of the biggest lottery prizes in Europe, with jackpots reaching up to €250 million. Thanks to rollovers and high participation across 9 countries, the game continues to create new millionaires. In this post, we explore the largest prizes ever won, how the jackpot cap works, which countries have had the most winners, and what happens when someone hits one of these life-changing jackpots.
European Millionaire Maker is an additional EuroMillions game held on special dates throughout the year. With each participating EuroMillions ticket, a unique code is entered into a transnational raffle. Unlike the main draw, this game guarantees multiple €1,000,000 winners across the participating countries, making it one of the most anticipated events in the EuroMillions calendar.
Since its launch on Friday 13 February 2004, EuroMillions has evolved significantly. Over the years, changes have been made to the prize structure, the number of participating countries, and the gameplay itself. These updates have shaped the lottery into what it is today—offering bigger jackpots, more prize tiers, and special events—making EuroMillions one of the most dynamic lotteries in Europe.
