Euromillions Superdraw

Since the Euromillions lottery was introduced back in 2004, there have been several Superdraws. A Euromillions Superdraw is a special bumper jackpot of € 100 million euros which can be held to commemorate or celebrate a particular occasion. These occasions have in the past included the Euromillions anniversaries and introductions of new rules, but there are no hard and fast rules about when Superdraws appear, therefore they can take place at any time.

EuroMillions Superdraw

What is a Superdraw?

A Euromillions Superdraw is when the regular Euro Millions jackpot is increased to a minimum of € 130 million. It is commonly done only when there is enough prize fund money in the kitty to make this possible, hence why the Superdraws are both irregular and unpredictable. They usually take place once or three times a year.

The Superdraw works by adding funds to the existing Euromillions jackpot. For example, if the jackpot was at € 45 million, the Superdraw fund would add another € 55 million to take the jackpot to € 130 million. Superdraw jackpots can be larger, with some reaching € 200 million, depending on the amount in the prize fund.

A Superdraw is different to an Event Draw, which is a rarer draw with jackpots usually made up to around € 130 million. They really do only take place once in a blue moon, with the last Event Draw being on Friday 5th February 2010, for € 85 million.

Does a Euromillions Superdraw Rollover?

A Superdraw can roll over to the next week if it is not won. An Event draw, however, is slightly different, and if it is not won will not roll over to the following week but instead will be distributed across the lower prize tiers.
