Dos and Don’ts for Playing the EuroMillions Lottery

While EuroMillions is an exciting game, sometimes, you might lose track and end up losing a lot of money. Here are some things that you should and should not do while playing the lottery.

• As there are so many participating countries with their own specific laws, the minimum age to participate may vary. You must confirm the eligibility requirements by checking your state and country laws on playing the EuroMillions lottery.
• Always ensure while playing with a store-bought ticket that all the entries are clearly marked legibly. Wrong entries may not be eligible to win prizes.
• The draws are held every Tuesday and Friday night at 8.45 pm CET (12.15 am IST). You must place your bets latest by 8.30 pm CET (12.00 am IST) on the date of each draw.
• Always write your name and address on the back of your ticket after purchasing a EuroMillions ticket. However, you can always enjoy playing online, where losing a ticket is never an issue.
• You have to claim your prize within 180 days of the draw for all offline purchase. For all online purchases, the prize money is wired directly to your bank account, so you don’t have to worry about the 180-day deadline.
• Use Quick Pick. Mostly, people choose their own lucky numbers based on their birthdates, anniversaries, etc. However, these numbers are always smaller than 31. This decreases the chance of winnings as the numbers are now restricted from 1 to 31 only. Taking advantage of the Quick Pick option on the website will increase your chances of selecting unique numbers, which are not shared by other players.
• Double your jackpot! You can double your winnings when you click on an exclusive double jackpot feature when playing at an online casino. This feature entitles you to an instant win of double prize money for any given draw.
