France is one of the original EuroMillions countries and still plays a central role in the game, as the official draw takes place in Paris. Together with Spain and the United Kingdom, France helped launch EuroMillions in 2004, making it one of the founding markets of Europe’s biggest transnational lottery.
With French EuroMillions, players get access not only to the main jackpot but also to the famous My Million Raffle. This extra draw gives French ticket holders an additional chance to win €1 million on top of the regular EuroMillions prize structure.
My Million Raffle Euromillions
In France, EuroMillions is sold as EuroMillions – My Million. Every eligible ticket automatically includes a My Million code, giving players one more way to win on draw night. If you want to understand the standard game first, see how to play EuroMillions.
By playing EuroMillions in France, you are automatically entered into the My Million draw for an extra chance to win €1 million.
For online players in France, winnings are usually handled through the official lottery account system, subject to verification and payment rules. For larger wins, identity checks and a confirmed bank account may be required before the money is paid out.
French EuroMillions tickets follow the same main format as the rest of Europe: 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Stars from 1 to 12. You can also compare the winning chances in our guide to the odds of winning a EuroMillions prize.
