The kitty of 217 million euros which was at stake at the Euromillions this Tuesday evening has not fallen and here is a new plateau reached this Friday: 230 million. Remember that since the beginning of 2020, the maximum prize pool of the Euromillions has increased from 190 to 250 million euros. “The jackpot will be locked at 200 million in the next round of weeks without a big winner. Once it has been won, we will restart at 17 million and the prize pool can then reach 210 million, until it is won. And so on with a final cap of 250 million. This new absolute limit therefore replaces the limit of 190 million that existed for more than ten years. Impossible to say today when the new limit will be reached, but it will take several years“, then explained the National Lottery.
Two and a half years later, there is therefore still some margin before reaching 250 million euros, but a new plateau has therefore been reached. The last plateau (220 million) had been reached and won on October 15, 2021. And now, what will happen? “We left for a cycle of maximum 5 draws at 230 million eurosexplains Joke Vermoere, spokesperson for the National Lottery. If the jackpot should not fall following the five draws, the pot will fall to 17 million euros, to go up to 240 million euros potentially.“
And if we are not there yet, it will be interesting to try your luck each time. “In the fifth draw, the 230 million euros will be redistributed to the previous ranks if the jackpot does not fall. This means that the sums to be won at the lower ranks would be much bigger.“
It is therefore more interesting than ever to try your luck and choose a few numbers that might change a life. First chance this Friday therefore, last possibility to play at 8 p.m.
