10 UK Millionaires Guaranteed in EuroMillions on 16th August
Last Updated: Thursday 15th August 2024, 15:30
A thrilling EuroMillions draw lies in store on Friday 16th August, with 10 lucky ticket holders in the UK guaranteed to become millionaires.
There’s also a £64 million jackpot up for grabs, but even if that rolls over it promises to be a spectacular evening for many UK players.
The Millionaire Maker always gives away one prize of £1 million, but occasionally there are special editions of the raffle when even more winners are created.
Each prize is guaranteed to be won, because only the codes that have been generated are entered into the Millionaire Maker draw, then 10 are selected at random. This is different to the main EuroMillions draw, when the combination of numbers drawn is often one that nobody has picked.
The main appeal of an enhanced Millionaire Maker draw is that it significantly improves your odds of winning, with 10 chances to match one of the codes instead of just one.
To win £1 million, you need to match one of the nine-digit codes exactly, with every character in the correct position.
Make sure to check if you have won after the draw has taken place. It is easy to overlook the Millionaire Maker and focus on checking the numbers from the main draw, but the Millionaire Maker gives you a better chance of winning a seven-figure sum.
If you are lucky enough to win £1 million, the next step is to contact the National Lottery to start the claims process. Head over to the Lottery Claims page for more information.
It has already been an exciting summer for EuroMillions players, with the jackpot won twice in the UK since the start of July, and more big wins are now guaranteed. Make sure to take part, and see the results after every draw.
