Breaking News: The EuroMillions Superdraw jackpot of €220 million was won in the 15 October 2021 draw! Congratulations to the lucky winner from France! This prize broke two records, as it is now the biggest EuroMillions jackpot, and the largest European lottery prize ever matched.

The EuroMillions Superdraw is a special lottery event staged from time to time that guarantees a massive jackpot. It replaces the regularly scheduled EuroMillions lottery draw and offers a boosted guaranteed jackpot prize.
A Superdraw can be announced at any time, usually to coincide with a special event. The starting jackpot of a Superdraw lottery is at least an incredible €130 million. This is much more than the usual EuroMillions base jackpot, making the Superdraw a draw not to be missed!
The EuroMillions Superdraw jackpots are made possible by contributions from the dedicated Reserve Fund of the pan-European lottery. At every regular EuroMillions draw, 8.6% of the generated income is deposited in a Common Prize Fund and this money accumulates until it is used to guarantee a Superdraw jackpot.

The EuroMillions Superdraw operates according to the same rules as the regular EuroMillions lottery. To participate, all you have to do is select five main numbers (1-50), and two Lucky Stars (1-12).
The EuroMillions Superdraw is a special drawing that replaces the regular EuroMillions drawing. While the opening jackpot for the regular EuroMillions is €17 million, the opening Superdraw jackpot is at least €130 million. In both cases, there is a jackpot cap of €230 million. For more information about the regular lottery draw, see our EuroMillions Guide.
The starting guaranteed jackpot for a Superdraw is boosted to at least €130 million. The maximum Superdraw jackpot is set at the EuroMillions jackpot cap of €230 million.
Your chances of winning the boosted Superdraw jackpot are the exact same as winning a regular EuroMillions jackpot prize - 1:139,838,160. On the other hand, the odds of taking home the entire jackpot prize will most probably be slimmed down thanks to the increased number of players buying tickets.
If the Superdraw is not won, the jackpot prize will roll over to the next EuroMillions drawing. It will keep rolling over until the jackpot is won, or until it reaches the EuroMillions Superdraw jackpot cap of €230 million. The jackpot can remain at that amount for four drawings. After this, if the jackpot is not won, the prize money will roll down to be divided among the winners of the next highest prize tier.
There is no guaranteed number of Superdraws per year, as they are announced from time to time. In each of the years 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2019 three Superdraws took place, a single Superdraw was held in 2016, two Superdraws were staged in 2017 and 2018, a total of four Superdraws took place in 2020, and two Superdraws have been held in 2021.
The date of the next EuroMillions Superdraw is unknown until the news is released, which is usually a few weeks before the draw is scheduled to take place.
