What other tiers mean
Tiers are partial matches (e.g. 5+1, 5+0, 4+2…). The more main numbers and stars you match, the higher the tier.
Keep in mind:
- Stars matter as much as main numbers for top tiers.
- Prize amounts vary by draw (prize fund, winners).
- Odds do not improve because a number was “hot” or “cold”.
Classic trap
Believing something “must” drop because it has not appeared for ages. No: each draw is independent.

FAQ
Does playing more lines increase my chances?
Yes, proportionally (2 lines ≈ double the chance). The jackpot base odds stay tiny.
Do statistics change the probabilities?
No. Stats describe the past; they do not change the next draw’s odds.
Why does the figure 139,838,160 show up in several Fetix articles?
Because it is THE official reference figure for the EuroMillions jackpot (5 main numbers + 2 Lucky Stars) — the same data point, cited consistently across the site.
Do Lucky Stars carry the same weight as main numbers in the odds calculation?
They count in the overall calculation, but separately: there are fewer possible star combinations (2 from 12) than main number combinations (5 from 50), which affects each tier differently.
