| Birthdays: 3 – 7 – 12 – 19 – 25 ★ 2 – 9 | 150 | €995.70 | €4,625.50 | 3 numbers + 2 stars: €53.80 (18 Aug 2015) |
| In a row: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 ★ 1 – 2 | 126 | €770.10 | €4,625.50 | 2 numbers + 2 stars: €19.50 (25 Jun 2013) |

1,983 draws, 13 February 2004 to 25 September 2026. Prizes and costs in euros, the currency the draw is run in; cost at the French ticket price (€2, then €2.50 from February 2014). Fetix data.
What stands out:
- Winning something happens about once every 13 to 16 draws. Between 126 and 157 winning draws out of 1,983.
- It is almost always a small prize. None of the three lines ever won more than €54 in one draw.
- The return is around 17 to 22%. For €4,625.50 played, between €770 and €1,021 came back.
Why winnings are so far below the cost
Why winnings are so far below the costThat is how a lottery works: part of every stake funds the prizes, the rest goes to good causes, tax, retailers and running the game. Over time, a line played every draw returns a fraction of what it costs. The dream is the jackpot — and it did not land on any of these lines in 22 years.
What the calculation takes into account
- Real prizes for each draw, not averages: the same tier pays a different amount from one draw to the next.
- Rule changes: 9 Lucky Stars at launch, 11 from 2011, 12 from 2016. Star 11 in the "spread out" line did not exist before 2011.
- Price changes over the period.

FAQ
Does the calculation assume I played every draw?
Yes. It answers "what if I had played this line at every draw of the period". Pick a shorter period (1 year, 3 years…) to match how you actually play.
Why are the amounts in euros?
EuroMillions is organised in euros, and Fetix stores its prizes in euros. UK prizes are paid in pounds at the rate set for each draw, so a UK player's figures would differ slightly.
Why are my winnings so small compared with the cost?
Because nearly all winning draws are low tiers (2 numbers, or 1 number + 2 stars). Across our three lines, no prize went above €54.
Will a line that did well in the past keep doing well?
No. Every draw is independent: a line's past record says nothing about the next draw.
How up to date is this?
Results are synced automatically after every draw (Tuesday and Friday). Figures as of 25 September 2026.
