What is the UK Millionaire Maker in the EuroMillions draw?

For every EuroMillions line played, players automatically receive a UK Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

The draw guarantees one lucky player will win a sum of £1million.

A code consists of four letters and five numbers.

It's then entered into a raffle and selected at random.

There used to be two guaranteed millionaire raffle winners per EuroMillions draw, but this was reverted to one in January 2019.

Where can I find my code on my EuroMillions ticket?

You will find your code underneath your numbers on your EuroMillions lottery ticket.

You may find multiple codes depending on how many lines you decide put on.

Punters can play up to seven lines of numbers on each play slip and buy up to 10 play slips at a time.

When are the Millionaire Maker results out?

EuroMillions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 8.45pm.

The results are published on the National Lottery website from 9.30pm onwards.

On the site, the winning code is displayed next to the winning set of numbers.

You must have the code in full to win and prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.

What are my odds of winning the Millionaire Maker?

According to the EuroMillions website, there is a 1 in 1,900,000 chance that a player could win the Millionaire Maker game on a Tuesday.

This shrinks to 1 in approximately 2,250,000 if there is a rollover - meaning no one has won the previous draw's jackpot.

On a Friday, it's estimated that there is a 1 in 2,950,000 chance of winning a guaranteed £1million.

If there is a quadruple rollover, the odds could fall to 1 in 3,400,000.

Winning the game depends on the number of payslips sold so the odds fluctuate from game-to-game.

The odds can also change if there is a special event.

In March 2019, EuroMillions created 40 UK millionaires in a one-off special draw.
