Tonight, a € 130 million Super Mega Jackpot is up for grabs in the EuroMillion draw. We explain why it is rare and how to play.
This Friday evening, December 3, 2021, we are entitled to a Super Mega Jackpot on the side of the FDJ. This special operation puts a guaranteed minimum of 130 million euros for the EuroMillion draw. It is an exceptional pot that the French operator offers unexpectedly. As the holiday season draws closer, it’s a great opportunity to dream.
Like all EuroMillions draws, you have to find the right combination with 5 stars and 2 numbers to start with the stake. If several people find the right result, they will have to share the pot. That said, the likelihood is minimal and the last winners never had to split. As a bonus, there is the My Million game which will guarantee tonight a millionaire winner in France (and it’s free).
The EuroMillion draw is very simple and is available to all residents in Europe who are over the age of majority. The starting grid starts at 2.50 euros. However, you can add numbers and stars (to boost your chances of winning) for a larger amount. Everything is explained very easily on the official FDJ website. It is he who collects the online bets for this Super Mega Jackpot for the month of December 2021.
Why play this EuroMillions mega jackpot?
If you are familiar with EuroMillion, you know that the prize pool increases over time when no one finds the right outcome. Twice a week there is a draw. If no one wins, the jackpot typically climbs from $ 15 million to $ 30 million. To arrive at the 130 million euros which are put forward this Friday evening, we must therefore wait long enough.
The difference between the classic draws and this Mega Jackpot is that the latter is placed by the FDJ overnight. The pot should therefore not increase over time. It is also all that makes its popularity. FDJ usually organizes this towards the end of the year when there have been too few winners in the past period. She will therefore redistribute an abnormally high sum this evening.
To play EuroMillion, nothing could be simpler. You can do it online directly on the FDJ website (or application). It will only take you 2 minutes to open an account and place your bet. A grid is priced at 2.50 euros by default and it allows you to tick 5 numbers and 2 stars. Note that you win something when you have 2 numbers and 1 lucky star.
If you have no inspiration, the FDJ site can randomly select a combination with numbers and stars for you. Otherwise, you can enter them manually as if you were at a tobacconist. The difference is that with an online account, you will not lose your participation ticket and you will know the results of your bet directly after the draw.
With the confinements and the health crisis, the French are playing more and more on the internet. It is much simpler and it provides real security. This saves you from going twice to the tobacconist and it allows you to remain discreet with your winnings. If you win the super jackpot, you will not have to come and justify yourself to your tobacconist.
How to play EuroMillion?
The first thing to know is that the EuroMillion draw is a European lottery which is held twice a week. The draws take place on Tuesday and Friday evenings around 9:10 p.m. You must therefore play well before, until 8:15 p.m. at the most, to participate in the draw on the same day. For this Friday evening, you have therefore understood that it is necessary to do it in advance.
Why stop playing an hour before? Because the EuroMillion draw also gives you the opportunity to play My Million. The latter is a game which is directly related to EuroMillion. When you validate a EuroMillions grid, you will receive a random code which acts as participation in the My Million game. It is therefore included in the price of the grid.
Little is known about this My Million draw, but your probability of winning is much higher than that of EuroMillion. In detail, FDJ guarantees a millionaire (who therefore earns 1 million euros) with each draw. He will come and draw one of the random codes which participated in EuroMillion and which will therefore leave with the sum. Since the start of 2021, more than 100 people have become millionaires thanks to this.
Of course, it is not the 130 million euros that are at stake for the EuroMillions Super Mega Jackpot, but it is already that. We also remind you that you can win a nice bet at EuroMillions even if you do not have the total and exact combination. In any case, this game seems to benefit the French. A few days ago, a French winner walked away with more than 160 million euros.
To stay in the numbers that turn heads, the EuroMillion record holder is also a French. A few weeks ago, she walked away with a jackpot of 220 million euros. This is the maximum that can be obtained. In any case, playing EuroMillions with a jackpot of 130 million is already a great opportunity to dream. A few days before Christmas, this pot is still very popular.
