Eurojackpot and EuroMillions: Mega Jackpots on November 26, 2024
On Tuesday, November 26, 2024, two major European lotteries, Eurojackpot and EuroMillions, are offering record-breaking jackpots. Eurojackpot boasts a staggering €120 million prize, while EuroMillions is set to draw for an incredible €208 million. Both draws will take place at approximately 9 p.m. local time, with EuroMillions commencing slightly earlier at 9:05 p.m. for its main draw and 8:20 p.m. for the My Million draw.
The Eurojackpot, which now includes draws on Tuesdays in addition to its traditional Friday schedule, allows players from 18 European countries to participate. To win the Eurojackpot, players must select seven numbers: five from a pool of 50 and two additional Euro numbers from a pool of 12. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 140 million, a slight increase from previous odds due to changes in the game rules.
In contrast, EuroMillions requires players to choose five numbers from 1 to 50 and two stars from 1 to 12. The odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are also challenging, but players have the chance to win smaller prizes across multiple categories. The My Million draw guarantees a €1 million prize to one lucky player with a matching code.
How to Participate and Winning Chances
To participate in Eurojackpot, players must be at least 18 years old and can purchase tickets online or through authorized retailers. The ticket submission deadlines vary by region, with most states in Germany allowing entries until around 7 p.m. local time.
For EuroMillions, players can register on the FDJ.fr website or app, ensuring they meet the age and residency requirements. The cost for a simple EuroMillions grid is €2.50. Players can check their numbers online after the draw or through the official lottery websites.
Both lotteries have a rich history and have recently seen changes to their formats to enhance player engagement. As these draws approach, excitement builds across Europe as participants dream of life-changing wins.
