Since the EuroMillions lottery was created in 2004 with the clear intention of becoming the main lottery for Europe, it created raffle after raffle, many new millionaires.
In these 14 years of existence, there have been several changes in its regulation and in the format of the game. In September 2016, a series of changes were made, among which, a special European draw was introduced, where all the countries organising EuroMillions could participate.
This new raffle would be called Lluvia de Millones in Spain, but internationally it would be known as the European Millionaire Maker.
What is the Millionaire Maker?
The Millionaire Maker is a special draw in which all the member countries of the Euromillions regular draw participate: Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, United Kingdom and Switzerland.
In each draw, 25 new guaranteed millionaires are created simultaneously.
How to play the Millionaire Maker?
To be able to participate in the raffle of the Millionaire Maker you have to buy an EuroMillions bet for the Friday’s raffle, and randomly, the system will choose a combination of 4 letters and five numbers. The first of the four letters corresponds to the initial letter of the country where the bet is acquired (for example, ABCD12345). Players will receive a code for each bet or line played.
