The EuroMillions Superdraw is the special big jackpot event within the EuroMillions lottery. On these draws, the jackpot is boosted to a guaranteed nine-figure amount, usually starting around €130 million and then rolling over towards the current jackpot cap if it is not won. When will in 2026 start this jackpot?
The EuroMillions SuperJackpot is a special type of draw with a much higher top prize than a standard draw. The EuroMillions Superdraw is known for its substantial guaranteed jackpots and is one of the most anticipated events for EuroMillions players.
The EuroMillions jackpot can now grow up to the current cap of €250 million. If the Superdraw jackpot is not won, it can roll over towards this maximum, after which special roll-down rules apply and prize money starts flowing to lower prize tiers.
When is the next EuroMillions Superdraw?
EuroMillions Superdraws are announced a few weeks in advance by the participating national lotteries. The starting jackpot is typically set at €130 million or higher and can roll over towards the jackpot cap if nobody matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars.
Guaranteed Jackpot Amount
The hallmark of a Superdraw is its hefty guaranteed jackpot, which is set independently of the preceding draw. In most cases, the guaranteed jackpot is at least €130 million, but occasionally the organisers announce a higher starting amount for special events.
When is the next EuroMillions Superdraw?
The next officially announced EuroMillions Superdraw is scheduled for Friday 26 September 2025. The guaranteed starting jackpot for this special draw is set at €130 million, although the prize can grow much higher if it rolls over after the draw.
Superdraws work just like regular EuroMillions draws, but the jackpot is boosted to a guaranteed nine-figure amount. If nobody wins on the night, the jackpot keeps rolling over until it is won or reaches the current jackpot cap of €250 million.

EuroMillions Superdraw 2026
A EuroMillions Superdraw was announced for 20 February 2026, with a guaranteed jackpot of €130 million. As with every Superdraw, the boosted jackpot used the same game rules as a standard EuroMillions draw: pick 5 numbers from 1 to 50 and 2 Lucky Stars from 1 to 12.
The jackpot then rolled higher in the following draws, reaching €174 million on 3 March 2026 and €193 million on 6 March 2026, showing how quickly a Superdraw can build into a major jackpot run when there is no immediate winner.
How Superdraw rollovers work
In a Superdraw, the jackpot does not depend on the normal rollover amount from the previous draw. Instead, the prize is boosted to a guaranteed level, usually €130 million, using the EuroMillions Reserve Fund.
If the jackpot is not won, it rolls over like any regular EuroMillions draw and can continue climbing all the way to the current maximum of €250 million. If the jackpot remains at the cap for the maximum number of draws, the prize fund can roll down to lower prize tiers.
FAQ – EuroMillions Superdraw
What’s the difference between EuroMillions and the EuroMillions Superdraw?
The EuroMillions Superdraw is a special event that replaces a regular EuroMillions draw. While the standard EuroMillions jackpot starts at €17 million, a Superdraw begins with a guaranteed jackpot of around €130 million or more. Both draws follow the same rules, but the Superdraw offers a much larger starting jackpot and can grow towards the overall EuroMillions jackpot cap.
The EuroMillions Superdraw uses exactly the same game format as a normal draw. Players select five main numbers from 1–50 and two Lucky Stars from 1–12. All other prize tiers and odds remain the same.
What is the minimum and maximum EuroMillions Superdraw jackpot?
The starting guaranteed jackpot for a Superdraw is usually set at €130 million. The jackpot can then roll over from draw to draw, up to the current EuroMillions jackpot cap (presently €250 million). Once the cap is reached and maintained for a limited number of draws, a roll-down can distribute the jackpot to lower prize tiers.
How long before the draw is a Superdraw announced?
There is no fixed rule for when a Superdraw must be announced. In practice, national lotteries usually confirm the date at least a few weeks in advance, giving players time to buy tickets and plan their participation.
What happens if the Superdraw jackpot is not won?
If nobody matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars on the night of the Superdraw, the jackpot rolls over to the next EuroMillions draw. The jackpot continues to grow until it either is won or reaches the current jackpot cap. When the cap has been in place for a set number of draws, the prize can roll down and be shared among winners in the next highest prize tier.
