How to Play EuroMillions

In a similar way to Lotto you select numbers which you hope will be drawn from the EuroMillions machine but you select five main numbers from 1 to 50 and two lucky stars from 1 to 9. As the EuroMillions is drawn five main balls and two lucky stars are selected at random from two separate EuroMillions machines, one with the main number balls in named Stresa and one with the lucky star balls in named Paquerette.
