EuroMillions is a multi-country European lottery capped at €200 million jackpots. This page covers EuroMillions rules, per-tier odds, return-rate analysis, and an interactive probability simulator.

Long-run return rate ≈ 45% (including the average floating jackpot; a bigger jackpot raises it). Buying more covers more combinations, but per-bet expected value is unchanged.
A single ticket’s jackpot odds are 1 / 139,838,160. With two independent groups (main + Lucky Stars), the tier structure is finer than single-group games.
All draws here are locally simulated at random, not connected to any real lottery, and we provide no real draw history. The “history” below is model-generated demonstration data for education only.
The simulator above keeps a rolling “draw ledger” and “life records” — these are generated by the local model, not real draws.
Prediction analysis: draws are independent, so no method reliably beats the odds. Treat play as fixed-cost fun and use the simulator to grasp the ≈45% long-run return.
