The Millionaire Raffle is linked to the EuroMillions draws that take place every Tuesday and Friday.
Every EuroMillions line that is purchased in the UK comes with a Millionaire Raffle number. The unique number is 9 digits long, made up of 3 letter and 6 numbers. For example ABC123456
One Millionaire Raffle number is drawn with each EuroMillions draw. The £1 million prize is guaranteed and as each ticket is unique, the prize is never shared.
Unlike with the lottery, you cannot choose your own Millionaire Raffle numbers. But the numbers you are given are not important as they are not relative to the draw. It’s like pulling a ticket out of a hat, it could be a number, or your name that was on the ticket, all that’s important is that it was picked.
Whilst the odds for winning the EuroMillions or Lotto draws remain constant, the odds against winning Millionaire Raffle change with each draw dependant on the number of tickets purchased. The more tickets purchased, the greater the odds against winning.
Typically for each draw, between 5 & 6 million EuroMillions tickets are sold. This goes up with special draws and rollover draws. So your odds will be around 1 in 6,000,000.
These odds aren’t great but can be drastically reduced by having more entries into the EuroMillions draw. Sign up to Free National Lottery Tickets and find out how you can get free lottery tickets into all the Lotto and EuroMillions draws.
On some special occasions, Camelot who operate the EuroMillions game in the UK add extra prizes to the Millionaire Raffle. In November and December 2011 they added an extra 41 prizes of £1 million, making a total of 50 Christmas millionaires. For the EuroMillions draw two days before Christmas day there were 25 Millionaire Raffle prizes drawn, making it a very special Christmas for a lot of people.
