FAQ

2 main numbers, no stars: does it pay?

Yes. That is tier 13. The amount is usually small (a few pounds) and varies by draw. See Tier 13 EuroMillions.

What is the lowest winning tier?

In practice tier 13 (2 main numbers, 0 stars) is the lowest cash tier. Exact rules are on national-lottery.co.uk.

Where do I see amounts per draw?

EuroMillions draws: for each date, tier breakdown and prizes. EuroMillions prizes by tier for a summary view.

Is there a tier with just 1 main number + 2 Lucky Stars?

No, that is not a paying tier in the official table — the minimum for a cash prize remains 2 main numbers (tier 13).

Is tier 13 (a few pounds) worth it if I play often?

No. The cost of a line usually exceeds that small prize — see EuroMillions ticket price to compare.
